Located in the border must plug in the military history of Datong city, was once the Liao and Jin's "Xijing," two generations of the Datong accompany all up to 200 years, the eating habits of nomadic Central Asian people's faces, rough folk customs , ancient streets and alleys, are vaguely exotic a trace of wind color.
It is now live with 900 years of history Huayan Monastery, is the existing large-scale, relatively intact Galerkin temple is located in the city southwest corner. Huayan Monastery open the heavy old wooden doors, suddenly saw the solemn face of a statue facing the dim light, forcing the dark side come teach people by surprise, the fear of endless moments of persons have been drowned.
Can not help but sigh, a few hundred years ago, our ancestors were the construction of these "God", when, why just give it dignity but not the Enron? If you said to be "a means of fooling the rulers," I believe that is what a majesty! Moreover, the number of people to "salvation" in the name of evil. However, I do not believe that there were no modern science, "rulers" who is also a limited awareness of, and they are also the Buddhist devotees ah. At that time a very low level of productivity, health and old diseases, there is the irresistible power of nature, everything can not be mastered. Because of the "unknown" awe, their world has been "God", I think they must have when you build these statues full of the sum of the Qi of the living eternal desire.
Out of Huayan Monastery, that the total can get rid of mixed colors, luxuriant oppression of the heart can not help but think: our ancestors were kneeling on the steps when you are not, really happy to hear the call, he saw heaven's glory? Or more sense of human insignificance and impermanence of life, experience the unpredictability of the future?
Do not understand is influenced by endless years, countless pious eye exposure to the religion, even if the sea has become a mulberry field, and you - Purdue beings of the Buddha, actually do not want to become a little more peaceful, more beautiful, so that We can see the happiness so that we can believe that the future.
Postscript: This paper was written in two years ago, when I went to the fall, the wind blows, there was no other tourists, Huayan Monastery door closed, an elderly doorman opened the door to the moment, the sun is just dark down, would the solemn and fear in their hearts once baked, it is difficult to forget.
