EP337. Too Professional

Just looking at the external manifestations, there may be various patterns, but looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the religious-related activities at temple fairs probably fall into the following categories: celebrating birthdays, commemorating deaths, exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings and fulfilling wishes.

Temple fairs to celebrate birthdays are only held on the birthdays of gods, such as the temple fairs held for Mazu on the 23rd of the third lunar month every year in the southern coastal areas.

In the same way, activities to commemorate death anniversaries will only be held on specific days. The Dragon Boat Festival is well-known to the world, so I won’t give other examples.

Temple fairs, Dharma fairs, or other types of religious activities with the purpose of exorcising evil spirits... Generally speaking, they will choose days like Qingming Festival and Hungry Ghost Festival. Occasionally, they will also be held according to the wishes of the funders.

At the request of the faithful, another day will be chosen to hold the event.

On festive and peaceful days like the Spring Festival, the activities held are basically focused on praying for blessings and fulfilling wishes.

"Baiyun Temple belongs to the Quanzhen lineage and is the ancestral temple of the Longmen sect. It worships the deified Mingying Zhenjun of Quande in Changchun, that is, Qiu Chuji, the real person of Changchun. Because it is said that on the 19th day of the first lunar month, Qiu Chuji will come to the world to save the destined ones.

, so the temple fair in Baiyunguan lasts until the 19th day of the first lunar month. Among so many temple fairs in the capital, its duration is one of the longest."

"Other places are the busiest in the past few days, but Baiyun Temple is different. It will only be celebrated after the seventh day of the lunar month. The eighth day of the first lunar month is the star-shunning day, and activities to worship the stars will be held.

.On this day, pilgrims will go to the temple dedicated to the Star God... Oh, I forgot that this is your first time here. The Star God Hall I mentioned is actually called Yuan Chen Hall."

"The gods enshrined there are all related to the stars. For example, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, the sun, taiyin, Luohou, Jidu, the twenty-eight constellations, etc. In front of each statue in the temple, there is a

The tablet has the stems, branches and zodiac signs written on it.

Age. When offering incense, pilgrims can quickly find out their own 'fleeting fortune-telling star' according to their zodiac sign and age, and don't have to worry about offering the wrong incense and worshiping the wrong deity. In addition, in addition to burning incense and praying, there are also

You can ask for fortune-telling and calculate the fortune or misfortune."

"In addition, on Shunxing Day, Baiyunguan will also distribute large steamed buns to monks for free. According to the older generation, it seems that the big shots in the jade shop and the pear garden shop took the lead, and joined forces with other gentry and business people from all walks of life to fund this project.

I’m not very clear about the activities.”

"However, I do know that Baiyun Guan will not be picky when distributing steamed buns... The Quanzhen Sect advocates the 'harmony of the three religions', so when distributing steamed buns, they will not give them only to Taoists but not to monks.

Anyone who is a monk can get a copy regardless of whether it is true or false."

"Of course, there is a threshold for not distinguishing between true and false. It doesn't mean that everyone has it. To put it simply, you can either put on a monk's robe and tie up your hair, or put on a monk's robe and shave your head. At least you should dress up first.

The way a monk looks like... he eats for free, and if he can't give you money, you can't give him face and not give him anything."

"At night, there will be a star worship ceremony in the temple. One hundred and eight lanterns are lit in the Star Temple, with twenty-eight constellations and seven star lamps on both sides. At that time, the abbot in the temple will lead all the Taoist priests, put on robes, ring bells and beat drums

, chant the "Yushu Sutra" together."

The young man introduced by Peng Mingwei, his surname is Pan and his given name is Shaokui. Although he is not very old and looks to be in his late twenties or early 30s, when he introduced Shi Xiaolei and his party, he said

The things are in sets, and the content is very rich.

Why can he know so much and speak so clearly?

On the one hand, it is family history. Pan Shaokui was born and raised in the capital, and his family has been quite wealthy since his grandfather's generation.

And it is passed down to Pan Shaokui's generation... Although he does not belong to the big courtyard brother, and his connections and capital are not as good as those people, but when it comes to understanding of traditional culture, just what he has heard from the elders in the family is almost enough.

It took several years of further study.

What's more, he really applied for a related major because of his own interest and studied it seriously for several years.

Yes, in addition to his family background, the knowledge and information Pan Shaokui learned in school is also one of the reasons why he can speak so eloquently now. In fact, it is precisely because he is very talented in this area that he is now

He was studying for a doctorate under one of Peng Mingwei's university classmates (currently a history professor and doctoral supervisor), so his name came to Peng Mingwei's ears.

He is capable and his family is in the capital, so it is convenient to ask him for help. There are reasons why Peng Mingwei would recommend Pan Shaokui to Shi Xiaolei and his group.

"Abbot?" Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but be startled, and couldn't help but confirm: "If I remember correctly, isn't abbot the name for a monk? Those who manage Taoist temples are also called abbots? Shouldn't they be called the temple masters?

?”

"It depends on what kind of Taoist temple it is."

"Um?"

Facing Shi Xiaolei's questioning gaze, Pan Shaokui smiled and explained: "Generally speaking, Taoist temples can be divided into two types, one is the Zisun Temple and the other is the Jungle Temple. Have you heard of the Tianshi Taoism in Longhu Mountain?

?Grandpa passed it on to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu passed it on to his son, and his son passed it on to his grandson. The ancestors have been Taoist priests for generations. A Taoist temple like that practiced by Taoist priests can be called a temple for descendants."

"The Jungle Temple is called Ten Directions Permanent Residence in Taoist terms, also known as the Ten Directions Jungle. Unlike the Zisun Temple, the Jungle Temple cannot recruit private disciples. Moreover, this kind of temple is publicly owned by Taoists across the country.

, Therefore, it does not distinguish between east, west, north and south, and does not distinguish between Zhengyiquanzhen and Zhengyiquanzhen. Everyone who is a Taoist with a full hair has the right to enjoy the residence, and at the same time everyone has the obligation to protect..."

Permanent residence in the ten directions? Jungles in the ten directions? Zhengyiquanzhen? Manfa great collar? What are these and what...

Because of the few terms and terms that Pan Shaokui mentioned after his rise, Shi Xiaolei's brain was a little unable to keep up, and he had a slightly confused expression on his face.

Fortunately, Pan Shaokui's eyesight was relatively quick and he noticed the changes in his eyes.

"In short, for outsiders, the biggest difference between the Zisun Temple and the Jungle Temple is that the temple's production capacity cannot be inherited." Quickly closing the topic, Pan Shaokui finally concluded: "As for the temple, what is it about the temple?

The master is still called the abbot. Generally speaking, it will follow the rule that 'the master of Zisun Temple is called Guanzhu, and the master of Jungle Temple is called abbot'... Only the master of Guanzhu, who has the property rights certificate in his hand, can be regarded as the owner."

"If you say that, I understand." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "What about the abbot? Didn't it come from Buddhism?"

"The word abbot in Buddhism comes from the sentence in the Vimalakīrti Sutra: 'As a Bodhisattva, Vimalakīrti's bedroom is only one foot square, but it can accommodate the public.' And the head of the Taoist temple is called

He is an abbot because it is said in the Taoist scriptures that "the abbot is the leader of the human and heavenly religion, the master who saves the world, and performs the true teachings of Longmen."

, the compassionate sailor who supports the sea of ​​suffering, serves as the model of Quanzhen, and the program of the law school cannot be established without a Taoist teacher.' Later, the Quanzhen sect extended the connotation of the word abbot to mean 'a square foot of one foot'.

"He who has no distracting thoughts in the earth is a master," and the title of the head of the Middle Way Temple of his own sect is abbot."

"..." His mind, which had just regained consciousness, fell into a haze again. Shi Xiaolei once again froze on the spot, showing an innocent look that said, "Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
