2. Guiyuan Zen Temple
Guiyuan Zen Temple was built in the 15th year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1658 AD), and it was named Guiyuan Zen Temple in the Lanyan Sutra, which is the meaning of the phrase "return to the source of the two roads".
Guiyuan Zen Temple is situated in the west and faces the east, and consists of more than twenty major buildings, including the Daxiongbao Hall, Lohan Hall, Weixiang Hall, Daishi Pavilion, Zangjing Pavilion, Nianfo Hall, and Stele Corridor, etc. It is lofty and sparse, and has its own style.
The Guiyuan Zen Temple has various versions of Buddhist classics as well as Buddhist cultural relics and treasures such as the Bayeux Sutra, stone carvings from the Northern Wei Dynasty, stone carvings of Guanyin from the Tang Dynasty, and the Burmese Jade Buddha. The five hundred Lohan enshrined in the Lohan Hall are in different forms and lifelike, which are the best-preserved five hundred Lohan group sculptures with the highest artistic value in China. Guiyuan Zen Temple behind the Tibetan scripture pavilion, there is an ancient soapberry tree has been 370 years old, still vibrant. Soapberry tree for the lightning carved on the road "scars", seems to confirm the history of the ancient temple in front of the vicissitudes. When Guiyuan Zen Temple has developed into today's "Hubei's first temple", covering an area of more than 100 acres, the maximum number of daily visitors up to 200,000, the temple's incense often reminds the soapberry tree of 350 years ago, the desolate.
It was 1658, the lush green soapberry tree is just 20 years old, it and hundreds of other trees, like, growing in a hill called Cuiwei Peak. It remembers the scene vividly: there is a Cuiwei Pavilion in the east, a large pond in the south, the pond is the "grassy" Parrot Island, the wild open sky low, sparsely populated.
This summer, the name of the white light, the main peak of the two monks came to Cuiwei Peak. These two Zhejiang accent monks, originally prepared to go to Yunnan to build a temple, but because of the Yangtze River wind and waves and stranded in Hanyang. The two monks were invited by the local residents to survey the "private garden" by the mountain and the water. "This is a piece of feng shui treasure land ah." The two monks exclaimed. They decided not to go south, but to build a monastery here.
At first, Bai Guang and Master Feng built the "Pudong Pagoda" (which still exists today), where they collected the starving corpses near Hanyang, cremated them, and placed them in the pagoda. This kind of good deeds, won the people of Hanyang a piece of praise, the temple incense also flourished. Later, they successively raised funds to build a Zen Hall, Maharajah's Hall, Lent Hall, Guest Hall, Ancestral Hall and Abbot's Room. By 1664, "Guiyuan Zen Temple" had begun to take shape and become a side of the jungle.
Since then, the soapberry tree every day to look down on the Buddhist rituals, quiet on the remote incense, listening to the morning and evening bells and drums day after day. One day, the temple bells and drums suddenly stopped ringing.
Originally, there was a vegetable market in front of the Guiyuan Zen Temple, which had many butchers. At that time, there were no clocks, and the butchers did not know when to get up and start killing pigs. Since the construction of Guiyuan Zen Temple, they finally found a natural "alarm clock" - the morning bell of Guiyuan Zen Temple. Whenever the clock of Guiyuan Zen Temple rings, the screams of the livestock will be endless. Abbot thought: the temple is a place of universal life, how can let the butcher heard the bell to kill it? So, he made a mountain order: Guiyuan Zen Temple from now on to stop ringing the morning bells and drums.
