Chen Xian looked forward and saw an isolated island standing in the center of the vast lake, surrounded by the lake.
The small temple stands on an isolated island, bathed by the lake breeze and melted by the golden sunset, forming a unique landscape.
After getting off the boat and stepping onto the isolated island, we saw an ancient banyan tree with twisted roots standing alone in front of the temple.
Gushan Temple has neither towering palaces nor solemn Buddha statues. Although the entire temple is small and exquisite, it is full of artistic conception and many scenic spots.
Surrounded by lakes, the temple is surrounded by water. During high tide, the steps of Gushan Temple are submerged in water, while during low tide, even the foundation of Gushan Temple is exposed above the water.
It was already evening, the setting sun melted into gold, and the river water gradually receded, wrapping the entire Gushan Temple in the orange-yellow sunset. The gilded "Buddha" character on the outer wall of the Great Compassion Building glowed with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Therefore, the couplets for Gushan Temple are much more difficult to write than those for Jinshan Temple.
The couplet should interpret the characteristics of Gushan Temple - surrounding the lake and being located in the center of the lake.
This is also the reason why many masters of classical literature or couplets are troubled.
Originally, many Buddhist sects shared couplets, which were quite common.
For example, Buddhism can eliminate worldly suffering, and the sound of the Dharma can be heard through the heavens.
Later, a living Buddha named Kongzhou emerged and advocated the separation of couplets. Temples in various places wrote couplets according to their own characteristics and geographical conditions.
Some temples are very cunning and rush to register their own couplets and then publicly display them online.
The couplets of temples such as Jinshan Temple and Gushan Temple, which were slow to react, have already been snatched away.
Therefore, temples in various places began to collect couplets.
"This is Gushan Temple. It is more than a thousand years old. It has always been very popular and was not affected by the war even during the war years," said Xu Zijian.
He has been to Gushan Temple many times, and he has a different feeling every time he comes.
Behind us, the sound of engines roared, yachts came ashore, and tourists continued to board the island.
Soon, white moonlight Lin Zhixia also came and stood behind Shen Xian.
The muscular bodyguard was wearing sunglasses and looked at the monk sweeping the floor in the distance with disdain.
With their tiny arms and legs, what can they do if I try to steal the Jade Buddha?
"Benefactor, the look you give me seems a little unfriendly. Do you have any problem with me?" The Sweeping Monk looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a kind face. When he saw the bodyguard staring at him, he asked.
Shen Xian turned his head to look.
According to experience, the Sweeping Monk is usually very awesome and is a hidden master.
"Tell me, what can you do if I snatch that jade away?" The bodyguard pointed to the exhibition stand at the entrance of the hall.
The jade Buddha is hanging there.
The sweeping monk smiled and picked up the broom: "If the donor insists on snatching it, and I am here at the scene..."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes.
A unique aura of a peerless master arises spontaneously.
"Shit, is he going to perform the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Chen Xian was a little excited. He had never seen such a peerless master before.
The bodyguard also took a step back, his face became serious, and he took a defensive posture.
Upon seeing this, everyone stepped back, fearing that they would be affected by the fight between the two masters.
Chen Xian even took several steps back while holding Qing Qing in his arms.
The sweeping monk raised his head with an unfathomable smile on his face: "If you insist on picking on me, then I can only say... you have picked the softest persimmon in the whole venue!"
After saying that, he threw away the broom, strode into the hall, and disappeared.
"Tsk, it's nothing!"
"What a waste of expression! I thought you were a peerless master."
"We're just watching a movie. How can there be any peerless masters?"
Chen Xian was also speechless. Is this the enlightened monk?
No wonder he was only assigned to sweep the floor, he is nothing more than that.
More and more people are coming to the island, many of them are here to see the jade, and many are here to watch the fun.
Before Shen Xian arrived, hundreds of people had gathered, and they were all looking at the jade Buddha in amazement.
Chen Xian was also watching. It was emerald green all over and about the size of a palm.
The front side shows an image of a giant Buddha with kind eyes and compassion for the world, while the back side is magnified by a projector and displayed on a large screen.
It was a Great Compassion Mantra, with a total of 415 words.
Even Chen Xian thought it was awesome.
What kind of carving is this?
That’s awesome.
The number of judges was about the same as that of Jinshan Temple, twelve people, and the abbot also sat in the middle.
Many people also wrote couplets, but none of them were adopted, and they all sighed.
There are also many people scratching their heads, wishing that inspiration would explode at this moment and suddenly write a peerless couplet so that they can earn this priceless treasure.
There are a few alternatives, but both the artistic conception and parallelism are far from meeting the requirements of Gushan Temple.
"Little comrade, give it a try!"
"It's the couplet he wrote for Jinshan Temple. Professor Gong has already started writing the title!"
"I have seen the couplets in Jinshan Temple. They are very neat. Both the artistic conception and the parallelism are first-rate!"
Everyone was talking about it.
The Internet is very developed nowadays, and monks also use the Internet.
As soon as the couplets from Jinshan Temple came out, the judges and abbot from Gushan Temple had already received the news.
Seeing Chen Xian coming, they all stood up and looked at him expectantly.
Jinshan Temple has received the couplets and will hang them up in the near future.
It would be a bit embarrassing if the couplets in Gushan Temple were not hung yet.
Monks also compete with each other.
How easy is it to purify the six senses?
Ask him to donate the money and see if he will pay any attention to you.
"Do you like it?" Chen Xian picked up Qingqing and brought her in front of the jade Buddha.
