Leiyin Temple

Leiyin temple is located on the hillside of Qiyun mountain, Huanggang Town, Raoping County, Guangdong Province. Behind it, there is a huge natural stone wall, which looks like a relief screen inlaid in the middle of the mountain. It is also called Shibi nunnery. Now it is the site of the county Buddhist Association and the key cultural relics protection unit of the county. It was first built in the 28th year of Jiajing period, and then revived and abolished several times (according to the records of Raoping county annals of the Qing Dynasty). In the fifth year of Jiaqing period (1850), monk Tongzhen presided over the temple, revived Leiyin, and inscribed the stone plaque of "Leiyin Temple" on the top of the gate, which still exists today. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Cai Xin, a native of Zhangpu, the prime minister, made friends with the Tongzhen monk. He looked up to his Daoism and presented a special book: "the Dharma mat supports the past and the future, which is strong and strong. He hammers down the bronze head and iron forehead to make his heart cold." Leiyin temple was rebuilt in 1923. In 1939, master Ding fan, the abbot, built the Guanyin Pavilion, which was built with donations from Shifang Shanxin. In 1952, the abbot, master Chunyi, rebuilt it again. It was abandoned during the cultural revolution. In 1980, master Dingyi took charge of the temple. In 1984, Hong Kong's Sanxue temple and Yuanming lecture hall decided to donate 120000 yuan to the master. The master decided to build the main hall, the wing room, the kitchen, the guest hall, the monk's room and the Putong tower. In 1987, master Ding Yin once again proposed that compatriots in Hong Kong, Mr. Zheng Jinsong, Ms. Yan qiaorou, and Mr. Su Jiangsheng Jushi, should invest in the construction of compassion Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion, and Feihong bridge to add luster to the Buddhist land. In 1938, Mr. Wu xutai, a compatriot in Hong Kong, donated money to build a pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

Leiyin ancient temple is located at the south foot of Qiyun mountain. In 1532, in Shangbu village of Huanggang in the 28th year of Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Yu San people built a stone pavilion beside Changshen cave in Qiyun mountain. The pavilion was guarded by people to guard the tomb in front of the Pavilion (the ancient tomb was called huangniu tingjinzhong). They often burned incense, lit candles and prayed for peace to the God of Changshen cave. Later, it gradually evolved into Leiyin ancient temple. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, there was a kiln change in Jingdezhen of Jiangxi Province, and eighteen Arhats appeared. Behind each arhat is the word "Leiyin ancient temple in Chaozhou". When the county magistrate reported to the court, the emperor ordered to come to Chaozhou to look for the ancient Leiyin temple. The magistrate of Chaozhou hurriedly informed the counties to look for it. Later, he found the "ancient Leiyin Temple" next to the Changshen cave of Qiyun mountain in Huanggang. Because the eighteen Arhats worshipped in the temple are similar to the kiln statues, and the huge stone in the cave above Leiyin temple is the back wall, so later generations also call Leiyin ancient temple "Shibi Temple". The original Qiyun mountain is also called Shibi mountain.

Folk Literature

In ancient times, there was a mountain named Shibi mountain in Huanggang, Guangdong Province. There is a Leiyin temple on the mountain, commonly known as Shibi temple. There is an old monk in the nunnery, whose legal name is Tong Zhen. He is a classmate and friend with the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty, and he is also a Jinshi on the same list. He could have made a smooth progress, but he hated the darkness of officialdom and became a monk. However, the Leiyin temple is not prosperous and Buddhism is neglected. The old monk didn't mind. He only cared about Amitabha. In addition to chanting sutras, he played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for self entertainment. People only know that he has literary talent, but they don't know that he has more martial arts.

It is said that every time the prime minister visited his relatives, he would come to Leiyin temple to meet his friends. As a result, Leiyin Temple immediately floated three feet, and officials of different sizes treated master Tongzhen with great admiration. The Buddha in the temple was also touched by the light of the master of childlike innocence. Suddenly, there were many families and incense flourished. So the empty door became a rich one.

People say: the poor is ignored, the rich is eye-catching. One night, a gang of robbers entered the temple to rob. Master Tongzhen surrendered himself and Shi Yindu was good.

One day, the master received a secret letter from the prime minister, asking him to go to the capital to fight against the traitors. He hesitated to go to the capital again and again, asking about the people's feelings along the street, confirming that what the prime minister said in the letter was true, and then came down to the arena of the archway. On the stage stood a man with blue face and fangs. The master flew on to the stage and dug out the heart of the traitor. All his paws surged up, and all his swords, guns, and sticks went down. The old monk put a button on the spot and killed the thieves. The audience clapped their hands and cheered. There was a light wind, and the old monk was gone.

When the news came to the traitor's mansion, the traitor was paralyzed in his chair. In panic, he ordered all the soldiers to close the gate and search everywhere. But the prime minister was happy first and then worried. He regretted that he had lost one step in chess. He did not catch the king first and had endless troubles later. After a hundred years of thinking, he had to retire bravely and resigned. When you arrive at Leiyin temple, you will know that you have lost your confidant and your heart is like a knife. In memory of his best friend, I asked someone to find a skillful craftsman to carve an idol of the master of childlike innocence. A large plaque was hung on the top of the wooden niche in Shizu hall, inscribed with two gold characters "Abbot" and a couplet

The master of the Dharma mat is stubborn, and the strong men are afraid. The needle hammers straight down the bronze head and iron forehead to make them feel cold

It is this:

In the open door, out of the open door, great compassion,

No killing, no killing.
