The fireworks are gorgeous, when the fat cat is shocked
The fireworks were gorgeous, the sound was earth-shattering, and the fat cat was a little scared. Fat Orange first came to call me, then listened with his ears pricked up and alert. When I came back to my senses and went to look for him, I found that Fat Orange was hiding under the table.
The fat cat is almost 4 years old, and it came into my house in 2021 and has experienced almost the entire epidemic together. Hearing such a loud sound of firecrackers for the first time in a long time is the first year for him, and it is also a long time for us.
Offer incense and pray for blessings
It's been a long time since I went out to the temple at night to offer incense. The incense candles are all lined up and prepared, and there are not many people at midnight, so you can light the candles with peace of mind, light the incense, and burn the tin foil in the stove one by one.
Involuntarily hummed the familiar Green Tara mantra: "Hum." Big deal. It's a big deal. Degree. Stud. ”
When I hummed, I became aware of my ego again, and I felt that I was humming quite well. Silently reciting New Year's wishes, I also want nothing, but after all, I still ask for something.
Ordinary people like me still have desires and demands, and their desires are becoming more and more down-to-earth.
Fuquan Ancient Temple
The temple doesn't occupy a large area, so I rarely come here, but it's not my first time. Seeing that today's preparations are complete, the monks and staff are afraid that they are busy all night.
The temple is located on the coast of the East China Sea and was rebuilt in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573). In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1781), the main hall was built again, and the ancient bell in the temple was some years. There were originally many bhikshunis in the temple, and after liberation, they were successively restored to the laity. After 1978, the policy was implemented to return the temple property, and in 1993, it was officially returned to Fuquan Ancient Temple for use. In 1997, the management team of Fuquan Temple was formed by monks and laymen, and it was changed to a monk temple.
In February 2002, the new Jade Buddha Building was built. In 2010, it was completely renovated again, changing the mountain gate from west to south, and rebuilding the mountain gate hall.
Even the ancient ginkgo tree in winter is still the most attractive. Only the branches of the trees remained, and they still stood vigorously at the entrance of the temple.
If autumn comes, the yellow leaves of ginkgo biloba are in the ancient temple, revealing the vicissitudes of life, but also with vitality. The yellow leaves and the yellow walls of the temple complement each other. It sets off the ancient temple and beautifies the whole season.
New Year's wishes
The beginning of the annual cycle is impermanence that we cannot stop. And I still make my own wish every year of reincarnation, even if it is more than a year of tempering, even if it may not be fully realized, this wish is also with every day.
First, we are willing to learn from the wisdom of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign sages, whether it is recorded in books or transmitted intangible.
Second, what relatives and friends want will get, and what they get will go smoothly. May you be in good health both physically and mentally.
Third, we wish to increase our wealth and help others.
Fourth, the country and the people are safe and peaceful, and the society is peaceful.
Fifth, the cat fat family runs, and the orange fat can allow me to cut my nails and bathe smoothly.
Sixth, weight management and good health.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Did they all come true?
