Leiyin Temple

Leiyin temple is located on the left side of the road from Dunhuang to Mingsha mountain YueYaQuan scenic spot, about 4 kilometers away from the urban area. It is said that in ancient times, there was Leiyin temple near Yueya spring, which was later buried by wind and sand. In 1989, Leiyin temple was rebuilt with donations from Buddhist groups at home and abroad and Dunhuang Buddhist Association. It was completed in June 1991 and opened to tourists. It is the largest Buddhist activity place in Dunhuang City, with pilgrims coming in an endless stream on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar new year.

The whole building faces north and south. It is famous for its concentration, compactness and elegance. The design is unfolded on the central axis, horizontally symmetrical, extending step by step, raising, leveling and high platform. The temple is very solemn and grand, with extraordinary momentum.

Leiyin Temple

Leiyin temple is the place name in journey to the West. There are two places in Lingshan: the big Leiyin temple and the small Leiyin temple in Xiaoxitian, both of which are located in Xiniu Hezhou. The great Leiyin temple in journey to the west is located on the Lingshan mountain of the West paradise.

Dalaiyin Temple

Top Mo Xiao Hanzhong, roots of Xumi pulse. Skillful arrangement of peaks, uneven rocks. At the foot of the cliff, there are many beautiful flowers, and there are many beautiful flowers beside the winding path. The fairy ape picks the fruit and goes into the peach forest, but it burns gold like fire; the white crane sacrifices the pine branches and holds jade like smoke. Caifeng Shuangshuang, qingluan right.

The two colorful phoenixes are resplendent to the sun, and the green phoenixes are resplendent to the wind. Also see the Yellow forest, the golden tiles, the mandarin ducks, and the agate paved with the tiles in the Ming Dynasty.

The east line and the west line are all the Juque of Ruigong; the south line and the north line can't see the treasure Pavilion.

There is a glow in the heavenly king's hall and a purple flame in front of the Dharma hall. In the pagoda of futu, you can see the fragrance of flowers in the bowl. It's the place that wins the suspicion of the difference between the sky and the sky. The clouds are idle and the days are long. If the world of mortals does not reach the end of all causes, there will be no loss in the Dharma hall.

Xiaoleiyin Temple

Xiaoleiyin temple in journey to the west can be seen in the 65th chapter of journey to the West. This is not a real temple, but a change of Huang Mei king, waiting for Tang monk to come to worship in order to capture him.

About xiaoleiyin temple, the book says as follows:

…… That's a good idea——

Zhenlou throne, shangcha Mingfang. The valley is empty and numerous, and the sound of the earth is quiet and fragrant. The green pines cover the high pavilion with rain, and the green bamboo leaves the clouds to protect the lecture hall. The light of the sun is ethereal, the Dragon Palace is visible, and the color of the sand is long. Zhu LAN, Yu Hu, painted pillars and carved beams. Talk about the incense full house, the language of the moon when the window. Birds sing in the tree, cranes drink by the stone spring. Surrounded by flowers, Qi garden show, three doors open, she Weiguang. The tower is abrupt, the door is open, the chimes are empty and the sound is long. The window is windy and the curtain is misty. Some monks are indifferent, but not vulgar. If the world of mortals can't reach the fairyland, the quiet earth will bring up a good Taoist temple.

The traveler looked back and said, "master, the place is a temple, but I don't know that there is some evil spirit in the light of Zen. The sight is like thunder, but the road is not good.

When we get there, we must not enter without permission for fear of being poisoned. " Tang monk said: "since there is a scene of thunder, is it Lingshan? You have delayed my sincerity and my coming The traveler said, "no, no! I've gone through the road of Lingshan several times. That's the road! " Bajie said: "even if it is not, there must be a good person to live in." Sha Seng said: "don't be suspicious. This road passes through that gate. You can tell if you see it." The traveler said, "Wujing is right."

The elder whipped his horse to the front of the mountain gate. Seeing the big words "Leiyin Temple", he was so flustered that he got off his horse and fell to the ground. He cursed: "monkey! Kill me! Now it's Leiyin temple. You're trying to coax me! " The traveler said with a smile, "don't worry, master. You can have a look again.

There are only four words on the mountain gate. Why do you only read three of them and blame me? " The elder got up tremblingly and looked again. It was really four words. It was "xiaoleiyin Temple".

Sanzang said: "even in xiaoleiyin temple, there must be a Buddha. According to the Sutra, there are three thousand Buddhas. I think they are not on one side.

Like Guanyin in the South China Sea, Puxian in Emei, Manjusri in Wutai.

I don't know which Buddha's ashram this is. The ancients said, "if there are Buddhas and sutras, there is no way or treasure. We can go in." The traveler said, "don't go in. There are few good things and many bad things here. If there are disasters, don't blame me." Sanzang said: "even if there is no Buddha, there must be a Buddha image.

My disciple wishes to meet Buddha and worship Buddha. How can I blame you? " He ordered Bajie to take the cassock, change the hat, finish his clothes and move forward.

There was only a jingle in the air, leaving behind a pair of gold cymbals and putting the walker's head and feet together in the gold cymbals. In a panic, Zhu Bajie and monk Sha quickly set up a palladium staff, and were surrounded by some aro Jiedi and holy monks and Taoists.

Both of them were caught off guard. They caught Sanzang and tied the rope tightly.

It turns out that the Buddha on the lotus seat is a demon king, and all aro are little monsters. So he collected the Buddha's body image, and still showed the demon's body. He carried the three into the back of the collection, and put them in the golden cymbal, never open, only on the treasure platform, limited to three days and nights, and turned them into pus and blood.

After melting, he steamed the iron cage for three times
