Wutai Mountain is the most I've seen bare mountain, just as many mountains monk's head.
The reason why the mountains the trees are scarce blame Kangxi Lao Er. Rumored that Emperor Kangxi had posted five times for fear of roadside jungle An Fu Assassins, gradually archery bow, cloud, "a stone's throw, the grass cutting to do," then became a monk head Wutai Mountain. Chuan Kang Xi in the five unofficial crazy monk, in my estimation, the emperor must be determined is the bow of the Yisha moment.
There are a doggerel Wutai Mountain is also with the monks about the emperor. "Stone walls do not build a wall down, the monk into the hospital dog does not bite, Beautiful Lady Health baby's mother does not get mad." Because of Kangxi like five, so to attract the world, different schools of the monks, more than 190 temples, thousands of monks , too many, even the watchdogs are used to it. Kangxi stressed national unity, the five monks stage a higher status than monks, powerful body inevitably breeds corruption, molestation Minnv, the people have no alternative.
In addition to the emperor monks, Wutai Mountain there is a famous monk: Dr Goro. A thousand years ago, Golden Beach, Yang Lao to make public and tragic martyr, Yang Goro fled alone five, of the rationale of First Instance by the Buddha out of the mountains, apart from training the first batch of Monk. Goro's death, the local people to construct a temple dedicated to the flesh, Shui Liao Jian Ning Zhongliang general case of the Cultural Revolution, Lin Biao and the entire temple was blown up, to plan for another build villas. Now that Goro was enshrined in the set of Temple, were though Temple is indeed Um. Legend Goro off a large iron bar to accompany the congregation nuns all day long.
Young Goro sometimes Manjusri as has been called "Wu Ye." Mount Wutai has a famous "Wu Ye Temple," Guan Ming Wan temples, known as responsive, in the people enjoy the highest prestige. Outlaw, wishes to achieve are either to get a piece of steel tablet Wu Ye, either ask a troupe singing to listen to Wu Ye. I see Wu Ye temple covered with plaque, and a troupe of performing every day, locals say that no matter Shanghai opera, Shaoxing opera, Peking Opera, Wu Ye Jin Ju ... ... all want to hear. Meticulously stage performances, the audience has no audience, only the clay of the Wu Ye, I am deeply shocked by this scene. Wu Ye is the Manjusri or Young Goro, no one clear where we stand, but people can be seen on the Goro respected monk.
Wutai Mountain in the history of Buddhist monks, the people most familiar with these two. Mount Wutai monks today, I can only see a few write their own.
One is called intellectual tone, is remarkable Tong Temple abbot. Xian Tong Temple Mount Wutai, one of the most famous temple, and the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, China's created with the first temple. Chi Yin monk just over 30, wearing a pair of glasses, thin small, speaking low relief. He is the Northeast and a university in Beijing, aerospace technology school, a monk after graduation to Wutai Mountain. When I asked why, he said slowly: "margin."
I first called him "the abbot," but he could only tell him that the abbot, or head of household. Because the "abbot" needs Shengzuo, Shengzuo get to spend this money Chubu Qi Xian Tong Temple, and the entire Wutai Mountain and only a few, "abbot." After he say this, that I feel the business atmosphere of Wutai Mountain is not really thick, like a more pure place for Buddhist Studies, to cite just one example of it, Wutai Temple of all visitors free of charge supply of candles.
With the intellectual tone of the conversation so that I know some basic knowledge of Buddhism: Not all of the monks can be called "Monk," "Monk" is an honorific title; in the monk's head burned 9 scab has banned; men, monks, return to secular life, can be repeated seven times, while the woman as a nun, only one opportunity to return to secular life and then wanted to be nuns are not allowed; monks can leave ... ...
I asked him how the management of a temple, he says with a laugh, "only in virtue." There is talk about Wutai Mountain College of Asia's largest Buddhist nuns, intellectual tone that China needs highly educated Buddhist monks.
The second I met a young monk is a plain room of the museum family, "little club", so far I am not sure if he is not a monk. He wore a pale gray robes, I think, monks of the "uniforms" may not be easy to get the bar. "Small club" very kind, he told me that learning philosophy at Beijing University graduate students, summer vacation on the back of the shop in Mount Wutai care for his mother.
"Little club" the mother went to the mountains, "closed-door" self-cultivation has gone, "little club" in the store pondering plain room. I eat tons of this plain room, a dozen dishes all made with gluten, the exquisite dishes, the delicious dishes impressed, so that finally on the Road, eggplant, I also asked, "This is the gluten it?" To listen to say that these dishes are the "little club" created, I would very like to see. Think it is, we saw a fat monk came, Nongmeitaiyan, patio and full face with a sincere smile.
"Little boss" said that he did not want to just create extra dishes, but also would like to create a plain room culture. His shop is only yellow, white two-tone, chairs, tables, tablecloths, glass bowl, the walls with lotus patterns, shop for the Goddess of Mercy, burning incense, pure heart elegance. The menu says "free to the pilgrims to provide meals."
"Little boss" did not tell me that his ideal is that when the abbot or a plain room to open stores. I do not know whether the two contradictions, and only know that I finally received more than 1,000 pieces of money, I do not know if the price is fair, I believe, the monk will not be chopped off of.
I always thought that the real monks cherish a kind sincere belief that they'll outlive a lot of people enriched. In the Wutai Mountain, I have seen many of these monks.
Tayuan Temple abbot 93 years old this year, the daily morning and evening classes will sit before the crowd, and everyone recitation. Dai-Lo items have Tibetan monks, midday sun, his bow in the five bodies to bid for land-line straight over two hours, get tired, they leaned against the door frame breathe two tone, his face is not big stars of sweat rub rub ... ...
Mount Wutai is really strange mountain seat, Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism coexist, yellow and green to teach to teach coexistence. Here are the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan monks of various nationalities, but also Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and countries monks.
Buddhism often gantry passengers, Buddhist temple when the people set Hanlin. From ancient times, Mount Wutai, a large number of monks was born. Walking in the Wutai Mountain, the I am always wondering, chances are a very common is the generation of a master monk sweeping the floor.
I actually do not believed in Buddhism, does not understand Buddhism, to Wutai Mountain ago, or even complain about this mountain, what fun. After returning from the Wutai Mountain, I am still not believed in Buddhism, but heart began to understand that the monks, they are not part of the Wutai Mountain landscape, but the soul of the Buddhist mountains.
