brief introduction

Baiyan mountain is located in the northwest of Dayi County, Chengdu. A three meter wide cement road bends around, stretching to the depth of the mountain in the mountains and rivers. Arrive at the end of the cement road, get off and look, Baiyan dangerous peak towering clouds. The steep peak is really white, like the back of a seat. On both sides of the ridge covered with shade, slowly and around, like the armrest of the seat. The golden and resplendent temple is firmly located in this magical seat. I think it's amazing, first of all, because I saw such a saying on the Internet: according to historical records, before his death, Sakyamuni Buddha told his disciple Suoga: "after I was killed, I'll go to Guangming mountain (the main peak and branch of Wuzhong mountain in Dayi and the related two peaks of echuang mountain). The mountain originated in Kunlun, with 72 peaks. The place where I will be taught should be strict The holy one will come and live in the future. " As the Buddha has written, Baiyan temple is a place with outstanding people and many eminent monks. As early as the 16th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two eminent Indian monks, JIAYE moteng and zhufalan, came to Wuzhong mountain to establish Baiyan temple. In the Qing Dynasty, there were a large number of Zen masters, the master of Yongzheng emperor, who used Mahayana Baya Sutra board to subdue the Dragon in Xialong cave of cuo'e'er peak. According to the votsang Sutra excavated in India, "the two peaks of e'cuo are located at the end of the seventy-two peaks, just like a dragon. They look at each other from head to tail. The two peaks of e'cuo are thick, and the momentum is peaceful and complete. They are the places where the Buddha practices and shows his way.". Many great virtues of various Tibetan Buddhism schools have repeatedly confirmed that Baiyan temple, located under the two steep peaks of Wuzhong mountain, is the place where the Buddha's practice shows.

The best wood

Shiban Road, avoiding the steep mountains, circled upward. In the dense forest, the ancient trees are towering and the white flowers are blooming. The nine ancient ginkgo trees with the same root are just outside the wall of the main hall. Under the cliff of Baiyan, Shiban road turns right until it reaches the top of Baiyan peak. We found that Yinghua hall still stands on the slope of the top of the mountain. Most Western churches are built in towns. Most of the temples in the East are built deep in the mountains. Beautiful scenery and aura accompany the temple every year. The peak of the mountain is dangerous and the road is far away, which just tests the pilgrim's piety.

Monks of the Ming Dynasty planted thousands of ginkgo trees here. In 1989, there were only more than ten. One of the ginkgo trees can be traced back to the Xia and Shang Dynasties. The nine ginkgo trees from its old tree pocket are all more than 8 meters high. More than 10 years ago, it was once called the "peerless" and "living fossil" by TV programs. It is one of the best existing rare tree species in the world.

Only the master of seal

Weiyin Zun was born in February 1907 in Bazhong, Sichuan Province. In 1932, he became a monk. He was the abbot of Guangming temple in liyuechi county. He was the master of xundou, and was awarded Linji orthodox school. According to Neng Hai Shi, he is the monk of Dejie, and inherits his teaching method. Later, he continued to practice the teachings of zangminingmaba, geluba and gajuba with the help of Gongga living Buddha, Duga living Buddha, Nuona guru, Mozar Rinpoche and the 10th Panchen Lama.

All his life, the venerable has participated in 56 Han Tibetan eminent monks, including Haishi, 10th Panchen Lama, Gongga living Buddha, Zhangjia living Buddha, Nora patriarch, Jinmei pengcuo Dharma king, moza Dharma king and so on. He has learned a lot and practiced himself. He takes body and mind as the experimental field. At 74, he has witnessed the great circle and the great opening of the top wheel. In 1995, in the great Dharma Association of ten thousand monks in gatuo temple, he was appointed as the vajrayali, the inheritor of gatuo Dharma system, and held the living Buddha sitting on the bed ceremony, which is the oldest sitting on the bed in the history of Buddhism.

The venerable in Baiyan Temple

The venerable once worked in Shaolin with master Haideng and master DingCai. At that time, the venerable was the leader of the back hall of Shaolin Temple and had excellent martial arts. Although it was impacted in the cultural revolution, it did not give up the right law and three treasures in the chaos. After the end of the cultural revolution, the venerable often went to the 10th Panchen Lama and Zhao Puchu's home to discuss the respect for Buddhism and the restoration of Buddhist venues. They insisted on their own ideas and participated in some specific activities. In 1989, at the request of Sichuan disciples and believers, the venerable left Fayuan temple in Beijing and Baiyan temple in Jinxing Township, Dayi, Sichuan.

However, in the days of zhangxibaiyan temple, there were few houses, no main hall, no water source, no telephone, only simple Buddha statues and several greenhouses with air leakage on all sides. Among the three bhikkhs, one was old and frail, and the other was a religious heritage, and knew nothing about Tantrism. The venerable works hard day and night. He starts from finding water and building the main hall step by step. When building the main hall, the two mountain people couldn't lift the big wood. The venerable was 80 years old and carried it alone. The Bodhisattva's blessing was obvious.

When the venerable first arrived at Baiyan temple, the whole Baiyan mountain people were poor. Most of the people who went to the temple were devious and superstitious. On the one hand, the Venerable Master subdued the heretics and broke away superstition. At the same time, when restoring the temple, he made full use of the local mountain people. When he did not have enough to eat, he bought more rice and vegetables with the support of his disciples, so that the mountain people who took part in the labor could have enough to eat and get their due rewards in time. The temple complex of Baiyan temple has begun to take shape. Although it is not comfortable and comfortable in terms of living conditions, in the eyes of practitioners, it has become a Dharma like Vajra temple. There is an endless stream of people coming to the mountain to seek the Dharma.

On Baiyan mountain, the venerable planted thousands of ginkgo trees in person, and the monk of Ming Dynasty revived the wind.

In 1992, Jinmei pengcuo came to Baiyan temple and gave the Buddha's foot rubbings brought back from India to the venerable Wei Yin, which symbolized the spread of Dharma in Baiyan temple and predicted that great achievements would be made in Baiyan temple.

In early April 2000, the venerable was invited by the Taiwan believers and approved by the State Council to become the first great Lama to go to Taiwan to promote Tibetan Buddhism, which was warmly welcomed by the believers. During his stay in Taiwan, the venerable Wei Yin gave blessings to many believers, and taught more than 200 people the "Powa method". After the practice, he put incense on the top of his head for each practitioner to verify. He was also invited to participate in Taichung Buddha's birthday Buddha Bathing ceremony, which was the most eye-catching person and object in the venue. On June 14, the central focus column of Taiwan Daily reported on the visit of the living Buddha to Taiwan.

According to American newspapers, at the invitation of Dharma disciples and at the request of American believers, the nearly 100 year old venerable Wei Yin preached Dharma in Los Angeles on July 10, 2005, and soon returned home.

Show silence

On May 27, 2007, the venerable passed away peacefully in Baiyan temple. He was 101 years old. It's summer.

tourist guide

Although there are fewer and fewer red leaves, ginkgo is more and more beautiful. Baiyan temple is said to be the most beautiful ginkgo in Chengdu! But some people say that the Ginkgo biloba of Lingyan mountain in Dujiangyan is more beautiful and pink. What do you think?

White rock temple ginkgo yellow!

The weather in Chengdu is getting colder and the leaves of Ginkgo biloba are getting yellow day by day. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, choose a sunny day and go to Baiyan temple in Dayi County to enjoy the beauty of Ginkgo biloba.

Baiyan temple is located in Jinxing Township, Dayi County, Chengdu City, more than 80 kilometers away from Chengdu City. Here, the two peaks encircle Baiyan temple. The rocks of the mountain are jade white, and the local people call it Baiyan mountain. The temple was built in accordance with Baiyan, so it was named Baiyan temple.

From Yujin village, Jinxing Township, to the mountain is a three or four meter wide cement road leading to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. When you get out of the car, you can see the mountain as soon as you look up. That's why Baiyan temple is named "Baiyan mountain". Along the stone steps, there are colorful prayer flags on both sides of the mountain road. Ginkgo trees on both sides of the stone ladder close on the top of the visitors' heads, forming a long arcade. It is said that more than 90 ginkgo trees in the surrounding mountains were planted by Zen master Rujian of Ming Dynasty.

The road to the main hall was not very long, and soon came to the second gate. This is the place where ginkgo trees grow most luxuriantly. Among them is a towering ancient tree named "Jiuzi ginkgo". It is said that it has thousands of years of history. On the surface, it looks like nine trees. In fact, the nine trees have the same root. One old tree was killed by lightning strike, and nine new trees sprouted from the root. All of them have grown into towering trees. Now they are the treasure of the temple in the ginkgo community of Baiyan temple.

The stone stairs continue to circle upward according to the precipitous mountain situation, pass through Luohan cave and come to the bottom of Baiyan mountain wall behind Baiyan temple. Under the cliff of Baiyan, the stone steps turn right to the top of Baiyan peak. Looking back and overlooking the Baiyan Temple hidden in the golden ginkgo trees, the orange walls and red glazed tiles make this already cool late autumn feel warm. I really feel like a fairyland.

Jinxing Township, where Baiyan temple is located, has a forest coverage rate of 80%, of which Ginkgo biloba is more than 10000 mu, which is worthy of the name of "the hometown of Ginkgo". Baiyan temple is being built into the most beautiful ginkgo themed leisure scenic spot in Chengdu and even Sichuan.

In addition to gingko, those temples are also attractive. Baiyan temple, built in Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, is the only temple in Western Sichuan plain
