Boundless Twilight Tour "Guo-qing"
Kokuseiji 4:00 to stop selling tickets, we 3:50 arrived. Bought tickets, went in a hurry.
Kokuseiji The temple gate is different from the general, in the screen wall, "the Sui Dynasty temple," the right, turn ninety degrees, east open. Gate is not magnificent, seems simple and plain, do not see that this is the first sect of Buddhism in China, "Tiantai," the birthplace; do not see that this is Japan, South Korea, North Korea, "Tiantai," the birthplace. I think Almost all the real things of value, often do not like Zhang Yang, there is an ancient beauty.
Gate amount of questions, "Guo-qing say Temple", which in turn different from other temples, one more "talk", probably with the Guoqing Temple as a "Tiantai," the birthplace of missionary aspects of lectures relevant to the function bar.
It is also worth remembering that the Kokuseiji tickets, as long as 5 yuan. As a national-level key cultural relics protection units, domestic and foreign well-known temples, it should be Lingyin, large Buddhist temples belong to the same level. Well-known in foreign countries may be more than Lingyin, large Buddhist temples greater. Lingyin tickets (including into the scenic area of 20 million) was 35 yuan, 50 yuan is a big temple, and Kokuseiji just received 5 yuan. It is said that the unit had asked Kokuseiji price increases have been categorically rejected the auspices of Kokuseiji. Abbot said, Guoqing Temple is a sacred Buddhist shrine, it is not doing business in shopping malls. In a market economy, noise sound as much like an abbot, as much like a temple. This matter makes us "Kokuseiji" and the abbot, a little more respect.
This temple is "was Chan, Sui two emperor, the division as a national treasure," the wise master of the proposed construction of AD 598, the sixth largest bank, according to the wise master's behest and design drawings, life Sima Wang Hong, and wise master of gatherings on the roof of your pupil foot built this temple in large-scale AD 605, Emperor Yang Guang-year thanks to the amount of "Kokuseiji."
Temple has a Suimei has more than 1,300 years old, is the oldest of the three eucalyptus is one of the first hosted gatherings Kokuseiji personally planted. Sui Mei 10 meters high, diameter 45 cm thick, crown width 7 meters. Trunk has been dry, next to grow a number of branches, climb up the trunk, the pole like a millennium Furuto. Sui Mei Although old, but every spring, still flowers and garden trees, fragrant overflowing. Plum knot each year tens of pounds, it made monks, canned, tourists as they can consume a Sui Mei, will feel extremely honored. This strain Laomei, during the Cultural Revolution period, the flowers do not open, If you do not knot, branch leaves dry. Until the time of the Cultural Revolution ended, Temple Shigemitsu, "Laomei" has been radiating a "youth", have become flourishing all the fruit, showing an unprecedented vitality, there seems to spirituality. Sui Mei front, built Meiting. Deng Tuo had a "question plum", and describe him to see, "Sui Mei" the feelings.
Dongfeng first clipping branches,
Semi-Blind Sparse half his poems.
Do not need to powder green color,
Recalling when the roof meet.
Teramae Sui Xiang Yunfeng Xilu stands tower, 59.4 meters high residue, Zhejiang, one of the most ancient pagoda.
Since ancient times, many famous temples, Tiantai Mountain peak, the mountains are more than a thousand monasteries, the existing temple, the inclusion of key national temples, there Kokuseiji, Fang Guang Temple, Gao Temple. Thousands of years of Zen temple named a "five mountains 10 brake."

5, the sky was dark, Dianmen would seem off, and then to a number of guests, estimated to be cultural leaders and experts, we dip their light, have been exceptionally received. Can also be said that this is Buddha bless. Merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin ah, please accept our three worship, thank you for your attention.
Fortunately, we have locked into the usual cultural relics room, visited the Sui their tombstones. Monument on the Sui Dynasty ladies, plump body, plump face, then smooth lines, elegant demeanor, so that the painter calligrapher amazed. There are a few Sui monument, anti-carved inscription above, and in the end why the anti-carved, one expert said it was strange eternal mystery, but also do not know when it can be solved.
Anyang-tang Lin shipping room on the right wall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty embedded a great calligrapher Wang Xizhi's only the word goose pen tablet, the book body density delivered, gesture majestic flying action, this is Wang Xizhi to the roof top of China Mr. Xiang Baiyun Mountain Ling Hui Xue book written. Unfortunately, leaving only half of the stone. Now we can see the unique pen "goose" the word is Wang Xizhi the right half of the artworks, the left half of the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Cao lun, written in the election meeting. According to Cao whirl Beishangyiren election (1801 - 1871) of the Bayu, claiming after 7 years of business, of hard study Wang Xizhi brushwork, only half the original's "goose" word completion, from the Chinese temple were transported to the top of this. Be able to "sage" fill the words were so seamless, it seems, Cao-lun, the skill of the election did not in general.
Patriarch tablets pavilions, the erection of a 3 3 m high, 1.3 meters wide and bearing the inscription inscriptions praising the Tiantaizhizhe Master Li Chong temple were, carry forward the great Buddhist performance, praising the Japanese Saicho master into the Tang study, the creation of the performance of Japanese Buddhist Tiantai .
In the hazy light of dusk, we walk in this ancient and simple temple, as if there are sacred Buddhist, as if there are many Buddha in Zhidianmijin, our hearts are exceptionally's practical, exceptionally quiet, which is perhaps the Buddhist charm bar. White Horse Temple in Luoyang, as Kokuseiji with its long history, rich cultural accumulation, plain idea attracts us, let us not forget a long time.
