The four-day Qingming Nanshan meditation ended successfully today. This is a group photo of most of the students who worshiped the Nanshan Giant Buddha yesterday.
At the mountain gate on the afternoon of the first day, leaning against the railing on the left was a new classmate from Dalian, who happened to be picked up by me and carried up the mountain.
When the camp opens, everyone recites the rules of the meditation hall. The wisdom of the public is with you. If you ignore the sin, it will be your fault.

What is Zen? Zen is the mind of the Buddha, and Zen is your pure nature. What is meditation? It is the process of transforming the gross body and mind of ordinary people into the pure body and mind of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Transforming the physical body is both painful and joyful. Without cultivating concentration, practice can only be reduced to words.
Go for a walk after class.
Studying in the meditation hall is the most important, but relaxing after class is also necessary. After all, there are many new students. After sitting for a whole day, I deeply realized that even if you can conquer thousands of troops, But he may not be able to overcome his helplessness.
Nanshan Zen Temple is quiet and pleasant in the dusk. In the willow wind that is not cold on the face, a group of disciples surround the teacher, walking and exchanging experiences.
When the bright moon was there, it illuminated the colorful clouds. Where were you when the Buddha was alive? Where am I? Today, in the Age of Ending Dharma, which is 2,500 years after the Buddha's Nirvana, fortunately, a good teacher has come out to spread the Dharma. Fellow practitioners, please do not wait for the Dharma to be extinguished and lament in vain. He happens to be here, and he is also looking forward to your coming.
The Sanzang Hall is dedicated to Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. In the autumn of 627 AD, a monk walked out of the city gate of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. He is going to distant India to seek Buddhism. Starting from Chang'an and heading west, Xuanzang finally arrived in India with his firm perseverance and wisdom. Xuanzang is unprecedented and an insurmountable monument. The first person who sacrificed his life to seek the Dharma was Xuanzang. What Xuanzang left us is a spirit. Never give up on your ideals and always persist in your beliefs. This spirit is precisely what we modern people lack most.
On the afternoon of the third day, the course came to an end, and the students set out to worship the Nanshan Giant Buddha together.
The majestic and compassionate Buddha overlooks all living beings in the three realms.
The three realms are uneasy, like a house on fire, and all living beings are reincarnated in ignorance and cannot be liberated. The life of a Buddha is a process of manifestation. Even if you are a prince, you still have to go through hard practice in the snow-capped mountains and let go of your worldly attachments. You must achieve Buddhahood in 49 days under the bodhi tree. The Buddha has already walked the journey of liberation. He can only tell you the method and the road. You still have to walk it step by step.
Huayan World in Nanshan Scenic Area.
The Avatamsaka World is the pure land of Vairocana Buddha.
Vairochana Buddha is the Dharmakaya Buddha.
How big is the Buddha? Cover that wonderful body all over the Dharma Realm as the body, and the treasures and splendors of the flowers are so empty that they can be measured!
The photo is not very clear, but a bird rested on top of the Buddha's head and did not leave for a long time.
Reminds me of a little story, saying that a man pointed to a Buddha statue and said to the monk, look at your Buddha, even birds dare to stand on his head and shit. The monk put his palms together and said, yes, it actually dares to poop on the Buddha statue, but it doesn't dare to fly past you.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Huayan World Fountain Show was held. The most special thing was the appearance of a rainbow, which accompanied the entire fifteen-minute fountain show. The rainbow appeared and disappeared with the rise and fall of the fountain, just like the The spring water is dancing, which is wonderful.
I would rather believe that this is the Dharma protector’s reward for true practitioners.
When I left Huayan World, I discovered this cute child. The grandmother next to me called Maitreya, which attracted my attention. After asking about it, I found out that the baby’s name was Maitreya. What a name. What a name.
Little children, innocent and innocent. Symbolizes simple joy and pure happiness.
Climb up the stairs step by step, and the same is true for cultivation. Step by step, practice step by step, and people at lower and lower levels will also have the wisdom of the upper level, and the sharp roots will emerge from the blunt.
Ruyi looked at Ruyi.
Ruyi.
As a person, you must be consistent on the inside and outside, and you must be consistent in your practice.
There is my sister in this photo.
