talk about Ji'nan.Gt;.Gt; each return has a "home" feeling Qilu Evening News: you are the people of Liaoning Province, now the first abbot of the Xingguo Zen temple, how do you associate with Shandong? Master of Hong nun: I was born in Liaoning in 1973. My family worshiping Buddha. I used to worship my mother when I was young, and my mother was very influential. When I was in University, I often came into contact with the Dharma, and during the holidays, I went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva. In the exchange of communication with the students, also deeply inspired, coupled with his quiet character and preference, in 1998 in the Shandong grand Ling Temple, in 2002, with the teacher to live in the Xingguo Zen temple. Up to now, I have lived in Ji'nan for 16 years, and I have been puzzled by Shandong.
Qilu Evening News: what do you think of Ji'nan? Master of Hong An: This is a very sacred city. Not only is the scenery beautiful and the humanities are strong, but also the people here are honest, honest and trustworthy. Every time I go back to Ji'nan, I feel very strong when I get home. It makes me feel very relaxed. It is human nature, geography and law that make me constantly adjust, improve and practice in this magical land of Quancheng.
Qilu Evening News: 16 years, do you feel there is any change in Ji'nan? Hirunan Mage: there must be. With the continuous development of society, everything is changing, and Buddhism is changing with the development of society. For example, my Abbot's Chongming temple, now regular or irregular, will hold a lecture, meditation, reading and other activities at the weekend. People can use the rest time to come to the baptism mind and let the tired heart be pleasing.
talking about the world phase.Gt;.Gt; the people of the Buddha may not all ask for the Qilu Evening Newspaper: the outside world often refers to the "temple economy". Now the temples are very fragrant, are people looking for money to go? Master of Hong An: sometimes, we are easily misled by the outside world. In fact, people are still very kind, such phenomena are only individual. Jing Yun: "the first thing is to lead by the desire, then to the Buddha". People will have faith in Buddha when they burn incense, they will get the sense of goodness, and then get a strength.
Qilu Evening News: Xingguo Chan temple is also famous. What kind of people do they usually come to? Master of Hong An: there are many businessmen, teachers, scholars and students. Businessmen are not always seeking money, but more about pursuing their own ideals, seeking knowledge, such as communication, and charity.
Qilu Evening News: do you mean someone asks Buddha for nothing? Master of Hong An: different people are quite different. Of course, some people are asking for something, such as how to make money in business, and how to make good use of their advantages and avoid disadvantages. I usually make a detailed analysis based on the specific circumstances, but the root of the Dharma is not going to change.
Qilu Evening News: do you have many officials? Hirunan Mage: ha ha, no talk.
talk about life.Gt;.Gt; no matter what the tourists say, keep your heart clean, Qilu Evening News: what is the daily life of the Buddhist monks in Xingguo? Master of Hong An: Chinese people like to live in peace, and monks are no exception. State owned laws, family rules, monks also have order, but also have their own statutes and rules.
Qilu Evening News: like the Xingguo temple, many temples are in the scenic area. Will tourism affect monk Ching Xiu? Teacher Hong An: objectively speaking, tourists do affect the clean and peaceful that we need to practice, but because the ideas of tourists are different from us, we will trigger our views on society and broaden our minds and horizons. We have a lot of enlightenment and benefit from this.
Qilu Evening News: what do you think should be done to deal with the relationship between temples and tourism? Master of Hong An: we can not simply say that when tourists are too many, they will be disturbed. What is the purpose of our visit to the monastery? It is out of the dust. This is not to say that we can get rid of trouble in the mountains. This is just an escape. Buddhism needs to practice and comprehend in the world. The increase of tourists has increased our inner strength to a certain extent. No matter outside interference, our hearts are quiet. Buddhism has held the four forum, and the idea of "harmonious society starts from the heart" has always been a good idea.
talk about the practice of.Gt;.Gt; the practice direction should be right, otherwise the cult Qilu Evening Newspaper is produced: now the society is more and more impetuous, a lot of violent gas, at the end of last month in the McDonald's fast food store in Zhaoyuan, there is a vicious incident of the cult people killing, how do you see it? Hong an master: Buddhism pays attention to practice and needs to experience the true meaning in practice, but the practice must be correct and must be correct, otherwise the cult, the victim and the victim will be harmful to the country. The reason why it is a cult is that the teaching method is distorted, and the more we do it, the more we go against it.
Qilu Evening News: why do you think the present society is so impetuous? Hong an master: in this respect, the rapid development of modern society has brought great impact on traditional culture, causing people's inner confusion; on the other hand, some bad things will disturb people's heart. In the final analysis, we have no inner strength and all the root causes are "heart".
now the people are busy all day, even the time of quiet reading is not, the heart is more tired, the lack of self adjustment, the lack of purification and filtration of the mind, impetuous mood uncontrollable, everyone so, the society will be impetuous.
Qilu Evening News: what can we do to solve the problem of "heart" of the masses? Master of Hong An: the root of this problem is filial piety. I say filial piety is not only a filial piety in family sense but a broad sense. Of course, this requires constant practice, often caring for the heart, and self adjustment. People can relax their busy mind by reading, sitting quietly, meditating, and so on.
about charitable.Gt;.Gt; doing good is the "seed" of the "seed" to enlighten the public. In the Wenchuan earthquake, the Yushu earthquake, the Lushan earthquake, we see the monks cast porridge, the Xingguo Zen temple also do charity? Hong an master: we usually lead the people in the field every year to help the difficult people, understand the hardships of the poor families, the disabled families, the left behind children, establish contact with the local villagers, and together with the government units to give them spiritual and material help. We visited the welfare homes, visited many autistic children, donated teaching and medical equipment for these children, and sowed good seeds to the children's hearts. And we join hands with the Provincial Federation of disabled persons every year to donate wheelchairs for disabled people. There are about 100 wheelchairs a year. The daily charitable activities are also constant.
Qilu Evening News: is charity done to promote Buddhism? Master of Hong An: doing good deeds is a reflection of human Buddhism. The charitable activities of Xingguo Chan Temple mainly focus on social beings and tend to be humane care. These behaviors contain profound Buddhist connotation. To do these things is also to enlighten the good seeds of the public through good deeds, because everyone has a kind heart.
talk about traditional.Gt;.Gt; Buddhism became an important carrier of cultural revival Qilu Evening News: in March this year, President Xi Jinping visited the UN UNESCO headquarters. After the introduction of Buddhism to China, the Buddhist culture of Chinese characteristics was formed through the integration with Confucianism and Taoism. How do you understand? Master of Hong An: I am impressed by what President Xi said at that time. The Chinese developed Buddhist ideas according to Chinese culture and formed a unique Buddhist theory. Nowadays, Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism are relatively well developed, and gradually become an important carrier of Chinese cultural renaissance. To absorb the nutrition of the Buddhist law, our society will not be impatient, and then add the good law of Buddhism, and promote some rules and ideas. The heart is safe, and the society is safe.
Qilu Evening News: as the first abbot of Xingguo Zen temple, what's the next plan? Hongan master: we will further improve the hardware of the monastery, use the wisdom of Buddhism, condense the forces of all parties, carry out the activities of maintenance, culture, education, philanthropy and charity, and make the Xingguo Buddhist temple become a Buddhist monastery to learn and repair, and become an important window to show the party and the government's religious belief from the policy. The bridges and ties of the Buddhist circles both at home and abroad. At the same time, we will do everything possible to give back to all living beings.
