Chapter 1968 Great Gratitude Temple

"The 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and so many towers in the mist and rain."

"The 480 temples in this poem refer to the large number of attic temples around the Jinling area, and the origin of these 480 temples comes from the Dabaoen Temple in Yuhuatai."

On the rain flower platform in Jinling, there are lush green mountains and green mountains. On the steps in front of Dabaoen Temple, King Wen was climbing up the steps, accompanied by a middle-aged scholar.

This middle-aged scholar was Guan Zhongyi, the first aide to the Wen Mansion who had a secret meeting with Zhang Biwu that day, and was able to represent King Wen to a certain extent, and was the first aide to the King Wen's house.

Guan Zhongyi smiled and asked in a timely manner: "I heard that this Dabaoen Temple is also related to the Taizu of this dynasty?"

When asking this question, it is not that Guan Zhongyi does not know the allusions, but that he must support the topics of his superiors without being too stiff.

If Guan Zhongyi only praised the beauty and majesty of Dabaoen Temple at this time, then there would be nothing to go on with the topic of King Wen. Now, a rhetorical question not only inherits the core of Dabaoen Temple in the topic of King Wen, but also promptly introduces the

The second question is to greatly improve the topic's ductility.

The words were comfortable, and King Wen was naturally very satisfied. He said: "Dabaoen Temple is the second Buddhist temple in Chinese history. The first is the White Horse Temple, and the second is the Dabaoen Temple. It has undergone thousands of years of change.

The name has been changed many times, but what really made it famous was the predecessor of the Dabaoen Temple, Ashoka Pagoda, which was later burned down by war. Before Taizu ascended the throne, he rose to the throne in his early years and became a monk at Jiming Temple next door.

He was a monk and later founded the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty, and ordered the reconstruction of the Ashoka Tower in the name of Empress Xiaoci Gao.”

"The local Ming was inspired by the grace of Taizu and Empress Xiaoci Gao, so he named it Dabaoen Temple."

"There has stood in the wind and rain for more than 360 years. However, Taizu and Empress Xiaoci Gao have passed away. Only the Dabaoen Temple is still full of incense. The inner glass pagoda is nine-level and five-color, and the whole body is burned with glass.

And it is a unique and unique place in the world. You can go and take a look with me later."

Guan Zhongyi smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "The prince knows that I don't have a good impression of Buddhism."

King Wen chuckled and joked: "I know you are from the Yin-Yang School. It is said that you are from the Xuanmen lineage, so you naturally have no good feelings for Buddhism. However, the Taoist teachings are declining and have become settled, and Buddhism is gradually becoming active and prosperous. Since this is the case,

You should learn more about Buddhism. There are some advantages to true Buddhism.”

While speaking, the two had already entered the Dabaoen Temple with many pilgrims and tourists.

After crossing the temple gate, King Wen did not go to the most magnificent and lively Main Hall, but to Guanyin Hall.

In the Guanyin Hall, there are also many pilgrims who are piously worshiping Buddha, and some are asking for a future. An old monk in his seventies is sitting at the door, responsible for explaining the signature.

King Wen came in disguise without alarming others. He entered the hall and looked up at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with a compassionate appearance. The carved building was towering, and the Buddha statue stood in front of him like a giant. There seemed to be the sound of Sanskrit singing and chanting scriptures in front of him, and he sucked into his nose.

It is burning incense, and the mind and mood are different from those in the outside world.
