Love lasts a lifetime

In the Five Hundred Arhat Temple, everyone was talking about the unreasonable ranking in the Buddhist world. Guanyin Bodhisattva originally had the highest prestige among the people, but why was it ranked the lowest?

The commentator said:"The one with the lowest ranking is not a Bodhisattva. You want to see what the five hundred Arhats around you are doing?"

Everyone found that these Arhats were doing anything, and most of them seemed to be doing hard work.

"Why are these hard-working Arhats also in the Buddhist world?"A tourist asked in surprise

"Of course, otherwise they would be in the same temple with Bodhisattva and Maitreya?

They are the lowest in the Buddhist world." said the commentator

"Arhat also works? Aren't they gods?"Xiao Qian asked

"In the Buddhist world, just like the human world, each country has its highest commander. The following levels are divided into ministerial level, provincial level, county level, and the lower levels are ordinary people." said the commentator

"People cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. How do you know so much? Know everything?"said a female tourist

"I am very interested in Buddhism, so I study it when I have time.

Let me tell you, I grew up in Yiliang County.

I studied in Qingyuan Primary School in Yiliang, and my junior high school and high school were in Yiliang No. 1 Middle School.

My father is a history teacher at Yiliang No. 1 Middle School. He took me here when I was a child and he told me all about it."

More and more tourists followed this commentator. Everyone was eye-opening after listening to his explanation, and everyone was fascinated by it.

He also introduced:"There are only two temples in the country with five hundred Arhats. The other one is, It's at Qiongzhu Temple in Kunming.

The place is well protected, so every Arhat is still shining with gold.

It's a little worse here"

"Darling, we Yiliang people are so blessed. There are only two Arhat temples among the five hundred in the country

, and we have one in Yiliang."A young man shouted with concern.

As he walked and talked, the tourists became more and more interested and followed him closely, unwilling to leave.

The commentator was probably in his forties and looked like an intellectual.

Because everyone Following him closely, his interest became more and more intense. As he walked, he pointed at the Arhat and sang a Yunnan folk song:

"Folks, let me show off the Yunnan folk songs and sing a folk song to welcome tourists.

The five hundred Arhats in Yaquan Temple are in various shapes, and all of them look strange and weird.

I will count them one by one today."

He points to one and sings:

"The first one stretched out his hands to welcome the guests, which is really cute; the second one was hunched over, waving to everyone with a smile; the third one was a pot-bellied man, smiling happily at everyone; the fourth one had long eyebrows and lowered her eyes. cover; the fifth one’s eyes are bright and shining; this one is sweating profusely and pushing the cart with all his strength; this one wears a straw hat and wears it crookedly on his head; this one is leisurely by the river, tall and steady Sitting on the fishing platform; this one is as skinny as a stick with a jingling leather hanging; this one is wearing a pair of straw sandals while working, and the other one is wearing straw sandals; this one's chest is broken open, revealing a small Buddha; this one stretches out his long tongue and coils a snake;

This person holds a pestle and a hoe in his hand, dragging away drowsiness; this person specializes in subduing dragons, and is majestic; this person enjoys the shade under the big tree, and is at ease; this person carries a basket, and strides forward with long legs. , catching fish into the sea; this one has long arms. Hook the moon! well! well! well!

Everyone looks very strange!"

I will count here for the time being, and the others will watch and make their own guesses.

It's true: the ditty of Counting Arhats is so wonderful, and the beautiful rhymes are so endearing.

Not only did I burn incense, but I also listened to folk songs, which broadened my horizons.
