Holy sites

There are only two holy waters in the world, one in India and the other in Mt. Wutai. This water can be said to be the holy water in the world. It is magical and inconceivable to eliminate disasters and increase wisdom. According to the Sutra, eight merits and virtues of water. As soon as it is clear, it is turbid. Er Qing is cold and hot.

Eight long raise the roots, different damage to the roots, and increase the disease did not drown. (from the collection of questions and answers of master Yin Guang)

According to local legend, "first there is bagongde water, and then there is Wutai Mountain": it originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Two Indian Banzhida flew to bagongde water to meditate, sat on the Buer stone and entered the mirage samadhi, and built 72 Fancha attics overnight, making the world resplendent. There is a temple "Falei" in Xitai, and the mountain peak is famous for "hanging the moon". "Hanging moon peak" under the north three miles, is eight merit water. There is a temple called "Xilai" to commemorate Manjusri Vimalakirti. The holy monks from the West built the temple, so it is a treasure land of geomantic omen. There is a natural dragon gate, and the holy water flows out of the dragon gate. The holy water is called eight merits and virtues. There are few miracles in the world. There are also two stone towering, as high as three Zhang Ding Ping, two stone name "talk about stone", Manjusri vimo talk about scriptures.

The holy land is cool and dust-free, the void is wonderful, the moon is reflected in the pool, and the color of the void is mellow. I'll rest in my heart. Under the Qizhen peak, the fragrant wind blows, the land lotus blooms all over the mountain, the cloud water steams the tea, the five grains taste, ten thousand Bodhisattvas often linger.

There are six holy marks in the temple of eight virtues of Wutai Mountain: one is the stone of the no two Dharma gate, the other is the water of eight virtues, the third is the cave closed by master lianhuasheng, the fourth is the footprints of the lotus master, the fifth is the footprints of the lion's hoof, and the sixth is the footprints of the dragon's claws.

It is said that this place was originally inhabited by dragons. Manjusri saw that it was a treasure place of Dragon Cave, where the pines arched stone, giant waterfalls and flowing springs, rare flowers and auspicious grasses vied with each other, and the mountains overlapped. The clean lotus, which comes out of the mud but does not stain, is open all over the mountain. It is one of the 53 holy places for practice in Qingliang mountain. It is necessary to recover the great virtues of the eminent monks who believe in religion. Manjusri said to the Dragon King that the Dragon King didn't agree. Manjusri simply sat on the high mountain (now the huayanlou site) and went to the third generation of the magic Prajna Dharma. When the dragons saw that Manjusri didn't go, they were angry. Some of them shot thunder at the Bodhisattva, smashed the Bodhisattva with their tails, and some of them tried to damage the Bodhisattva with poison. All kinds of tricks were done to the Bodhisattva, but they blasted the top of the mountain A corner of the plain. At that time, the lion dragon in Manjusri, also known as lion, had a fierce fight with the dragon, so it left the mark of lion's hoof and dragon's claw. There is also the geological wonder "longfanshi", which has thousands of layers of stone, like the melting of fire. This stone is the mark left by the Dragon poison. The dragons want to kill Manjusri, but they are subdued by the wisdom of the Bodhisattva, which leaves more wonderful miracles for the eight Gongde shuixilai Temple in Wutai Mountain.

Temple History

Buddha is born and flourished in the world by reason of a great event, so that all living beings can understand and act with the Buddha. When he was 100 years old, Diaoyu's husband became a Taoist with four fearlessness. He has been practicing Buddhism for 49 years. He has done what he has done. He instructs all the great bodhisattvas, arhat, to light the lamp and carry on the light, to extend the life of the Buddha, and not to cut off the flow of Buddhism.

In the year of Yongping of Han Dynasty, the milk of Dharma flowed eastward, and Chinese Buddhism gradually flourished. All living beings in this land knew that there was Buddha in heaven and earth. Buddha was the most respected one in heaven, the golden immortal in the immortal, and the great sage in the world. During the northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism began to flourish, with numerous temples and Futian monks all over the world. At this time, many large grottoes were excavated, such as Dunhuang Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes, etc. Such as: Xie Lingyun's poem: "in the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, there are many buildings in the misty rain."

Wutai Mountain bagongde shuixilai temple was first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty from 460 to 495. It is one of the first ten temples built in Wutai Mountain. The others are Dafu lingjiu temple, Qingliang temple, guhuayan temple and Zhenrong temple. There is also a legend among the local mountain people: first there was the water of eight virtues, and then there was Mount Wutai. " It is said that in ancient times, two Indian Buddhist monks flew to Buer to talk about the stone. Overnight, 72 buildings and pavilions were created, which were resplendent and resplendent. In order to commemorate the benediction of their ancestors, the disciples of later generations respected it as the name of Xilai temple, which is still in use today.

For example, when the sun shines out of Dongshan mountain, it first shines on the high mountains and then on the lower parts of the plain, and Prince Siddhartha becomes the Zhengjue Buddha. He first crosses the Mahayana Bodhisattvas, and then feels the Zhonggen Hinayana pedestrians. "Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra" is the performance of Buddha Bodhisattva from time to time. Its Sutra says: "there is a place named Qingliang mountain in the northeast. Since the past, all Bodhisattvas, 10000 people, have often performed in it." Therefore, Manjusri Bodhisattva's Taoist temple in Wutai Mountain is extremely effective and fragrant. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and the great virtue monks sprang up like mushrooms. The eight virtues of Wutai Mountain and the shuixilai temple were also popular in the late Qing Dynasty. There are old and new things, and there are ups and downs of things, which is an inevitable cause and effect of historical development. When the Brahmanic shangjara was born in the five kingdom of India, the foundation of all living beings became worse and worse, the blessings and wisdom were shallow, the Buddhist monks were rare, and the apprentices were blind. When shangjieluo was strong, he had the wisdom to fight against Buddhism. He destroyed the temple with the king, and later fought with the Islamists. Buddhism disappeared in India. The salvation Buddhism in eastern China was not spared either. Sanwu destroyed Buddhism and forced three thousand people to go down to Jiangnan and five hundred Arhats to Zhongnan. In the 1960s, a great cultural revolution in China almost overturned thousands of years of Chinese culture, morality and ethics. Wutai Mountain bagongde shuixilai temple was burned, smashed and stolen, leaving only five broken walls. After seeing it, I feel the vicissitudes of the world.

In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty, Zen master Yuanren, a Japanese eminent monk, made the following contributions to the water Xilai Temple of bagongde in Wutai Mountain
