I have always heard that inside the Temple of Famen, there is a relic of the real finger bone of Shakyamuni Buddha.
Today the weather is a little cold, from time to time drizzle, we asked a tour guide in the parking lot of Famen Temple, a young sister in her twenties who is plainly dressed.
Famen Temple is located in Famen Town, Fufeng County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. Tickets 100 yuan / person, the tour guide helped us buy group tickets, 95 yuan / person, tour guide fee 180 yuan. You need to show a health code to enter the door, and the 48-hour nucleic acid report does not check.
While walking, watching, listening to the little sister's explanation:
【Shanmen Square】As soon as you enter the gate, it is Shanmen Square, which is composed of four parts: Foguang Gate, Prajnaparamita Gate, Bodhi Gate and Yuanrong Gate, which is very atmospheric.
【Fo Guang Avenue】Then there is a 108 meters wide and 1230 meters long Fo Guang Avenue. On both sides of the avenue stood rows of golden Buddha statues, tall and solemn, each dazzling with golden light. Looking at the mountain to run a dead horse, the whole road is not blocked, if it is windy, rainy, sun-based weather, if you want to go the whole way, I am afraid it will be very hard. Of course, the scenic spot has been arranged for you, you can take an electric car, the fare is 30 yuan / person for a round trip.
【Heshi Stupa】After walking through Foguang Avenue and crossing the "Liudu Bridge", it is the "Heshi Stupa" that stands tall with a height of 148 meters, with a wonderful shape and magnificent momentum. The Buddha statues and magic instruments in the hall of the hall are golden and magnificent. The Buddha refers to the relics enshrined in the Heshi Stupa, and will be raised from the underground palace on weekends and the first and fifteenth day of the first month to worship.
【Famen Temple】Walk through a long corridor of murals before coming to Famen Temple. Famen Temple was founded in the Hengling period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a history of more than 1700 years, originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty, originated in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, known as the "Royal Temple", because of the placement of the world's only Shakyamuni Buddha finger bone relics and became a Buddhist holy place admired by the world. Famen Temple was built because of the relic, and the temple was built because of the pagoda, and it was originally called Ashoka Temple. The original pagoda is a four-story wooden pagoda with an underground palace, in addition to hiding Buddha bones, there are also a large number of gold and silver jewelry, magic tools, silk, etc. donated by the Tang Dynasty, of which four Buddha relics are known as rare treasures. After several disasters, the original tower has basically ceased to exist, and what is now seen is rebuilt on the site in 1987.
Historically, there have been four emperors who have launched incidents of destroying and destroying Buddhas, and the Buddhist family called the "three martial arts and one sect" dharma difficulty. As a result, most of the Buddhist relics in China were also destroyed at that time. In order to avoid the destruction of the true body of the Buddha's finger bone, the monks imitated three additional Buddha bones, the so-called "hidden bones".
【Museum】Also known as the Famen Temple Treasure Hall, the exhibition hall exhibits all kinds of state-level cultural relics and treasures excavated from the underground palace, which are roughly divided into three categories: magic utensils, offerings, and living utensils.
There are pictures in the museum showing and explaining 4 relics, No. 1 and No. 2 are jade relics, only the appearance of No. 3 relics is completely consistent with the inscription, and the No. 4 relics are speculated to be high monk relics. In order to protect the relics of Shakyamuni's true body, during the Tang Dynasty, people made 3 shadow bone relics to fake the truth.
【Delicious Fasting】 After the visit, it is almost 2 p.m., under the recommendation of the tour guide's sister, take the battery car to a Jai cuisine buffet restaurant in Shanmen Square, the restaurant has passed the meal, the boss will fry the kitchen leftover dishes all out for us to eat, may be hungry, the meal is particularly delicious, the price: 58 yuan / bit.
【Feeling after the tour】
Shanmen Square, Foguang Avenue, and Heshi Stupa actually have little to do with the real Famen Temple, and the relics are only moved from the old pagoda and placed in the new Heshi Stupa.
The tour guide little sister explained carefully all the way and was very dedicated. Along the way, they also taught us how to worship the Buddha, how to burn incense, and even some Buddhist ideas, so that we, the earthly people, took a Buddhist lesson. Little sister is a kind person, there may be a task must take us to what department to receive free Guanyin statue, she reminded us to take it and leave, do not stay. Sure enough, once you receive it, someone will invite you into the inner chamber, saying that he wants to teach you how to worship this statue, and everyone knows this trick.
Because it was not the right time to come, the relics could not be seen, and the underground palace was also fenced up and could not enter, which was a pity!
But the Buddha said: Everything goes with the flow, go with the flow.
It seems that I still have no understanding.
