The fragrance of summer lotus flutters and moves the lotus heart. With the smell of incense, from July 10 to 11, the 13th "Yunlin Cup" Go Trio Tournament was held at Lingyin Temple.
In traditional Chinese culture, Go is not only a game, but also contains life and philosophical meanings. Playing chess in the Lingyin Temple, a thousand-year-old Buddhist resort, naturally has a little more Zen.

"Playing chess here, the mood will be very different, the mentality of fighting and winning will fade, and more is to enjoy the happiness brought by Go." In my age, Go still has the role of education and learning, 'Yao made Go to teach his son Danzhu', so when I play chess here, I also hope that chess players will communicate more and learn from each other. ”
Interestingly, the team names of the 16 competitions are named after the Buddha, such as "Nan wu treasure Buddha", "Nan Wuji Gao Xing Buddha", "Nan Wu Vajra Buddha", etc., and the participants also have mage representatives from Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, Shanghai Zhenru Temple, Shaolin Erzu Nunnery, chengdu Wenshu Monastery participated.
Master Jue Liang, head of the Hangzhou Buddhist Go Cultural Exchange Center, told reporters: "This competition was originally the theme of 'A Thousand Buddhas Welcoming Spring and The Tao', but this year it was postponed because of the epidemic. 'A Thousand Buddhas' is a Buddhist allusion and we use this contest in the hope of bringing some good wishes to everyone. "In the view of Master Jueliang, everything in life is practice, and playing chess is also a way of practicing," Lingyin Temple established the Hangzhou Buddhist Go Cultural Exchange Center many years ago, and now there are more than a dozen mages who often participate in some Go activities, 'Yunlin Cup' as a unique Go tournament, not only hangzhou Buddhism and Go art to carry out cultural exchanges an important platform, but also a way for Lingyin Temple to enter the society and enter life. ”
Beyond the clouds, smell the phoenix,
The cry of an ape in the woodland.
Chess opens a game of indistinct,
There is no upside-down line in zen.
This is a verse written by Master Jueliang of Lingyin Temple for the "Yunlin Cup" Go Trio Tournament, which speaks both chess and Zen. And the current abbot of the Lingyin Temple, Guangquan, also made a statement: Take chess as the realm and refine the heart on the realm.
