The mirror is not a stage.
There's nothing,
Where is the dust?
This passage is taken from four famous sayings of Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. Every time you read it, you will be suddenly enlightened. In this world, things will inevitably disturb your mood. When you are confused, you might as well slow down, find a quiet place and listen to your inner voice. This time, my friends and I specially came to Xinxing County, Yunfu, the hometown of the Sixth Ancestor, and experienced a journey of Zen cultivation in the first Zen culture theme hotel in South China. Just named "China Natural Oxygen Bar", you can enjoy hundreds of billions of negative ions here.
Buddha said: all living beings have Buddha nature, but Zen is everywhere in the world. Zen Spring Resort Hotel is located in Longshan Scenic Area, Xinxing County, Guangdong Province, adjacent to Guoen Temple, surrounded by natural rivers in the west, surrounded by mountains and dotted with hot springs, and rich in human history and natural landscape resources.
I was shocked when I walked into the lobby. All solid wood adopts the architectural style of "straight up and straight down" and the traditional tenon-mortise structure in China. The overall design is magnificent! It's amazing without a nail.
The throne placed in the lobby is the kind of scene that can only be seen in TV dramas at ordinary times, just like fine works of art. It is said that they are all lobular rosewood imported from India, and the collection edition of the Forbidden City is worth 80 million yuan. Sit down and look at those carvings. All the details are amazing.
After checking in at the front desk, you can rest in the guest room. Pushing open the door of the room, the view is excellent, the antique Chinese style is full of Cantonese Zen.
Equipped with a full set of old mahogany furniture, the materials are extremely luxurious and exquisite.
The bathroom is dry and wet, and everything is available. The shape of toiletries is also very unique, especially the shape of gourd, and the aroma is particularly good.
On the desk of the guest room, there is also the introduction of the Six Ancestors Tanjing and some meditation projects. I felt good after reading it, so I specially made an appointment for the next day's "one-day meditation" to meditate.
From the guest room to the hotel garden, everything is picturesque, brick by brick, grass by tree, which contains infinite Zen breath and can really relax and rest the soul.
Strolling here, I also met a Zen dance master who was cultivating himself, as if he were absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and collecting the essence of everything. I can't help but stop because of the moving picture. He danced to the music by the lake for a while, and all kinds of difficult movements were easy. Later, we chatted and learned that my little brother had been here for a few days to take a holiday retreat. In addition to his enthusiasm, he specially took us around the surrounding environment.
The landscape and stone scenery you see are planted with Japanese black pine, with dark green needles and evergreen seasons. The trees are quaint and can be seen all year round. Because Guangdong pays special attention to geomantic omen, landscape and stone scenery are arranged behind the reception desk, which not only enriches the landscape, but also means "backing the mountain".
The "three noes" next to it are "don't look, don't listen, don't talk", and don't look, don't listen, don't talk, which is the idea of "closing your eyes, covering your ears and keeping silent" advocated by Buddhism. The Three Buddhas are not only handicrafts, but also the realm of Buddhism detachment. This also shows that people should be less selfish and cautious. If everyone can achieve the "three noes", there will be less right and wrong and more harmony.
The opposite bodhi tree, over 200 years old, was transplanted from the deep forests of India. In Buddhism, bodhi tree is called "sacred tree", which means consciousness and wisdom. It is used to describe people waking up from a dream, suddenly enlightened, suddenly enlightened and reaching an extraordinary state.
Go on, you can see a huge crystal stone from Brazil. Its crystal cylinder has horizontal stripes and looks like a big diamond. Under the sunlight, the crystal is crystal clear, and its crystal face shines like jade. It is a rare stone, known as the "king of crystals". Pure natural gem-level "Crystal King" is extremely rare, commonly known as "the stone of energy" and "the stone of wealth". It is a symbol of auspiciousness and dignity, used to ward off evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, get rid of diseases, keep peace and make money.
Of course, the mahogany exhibition hall of the hotel must be visited, which can be an eye-opener! The porch is the Yunlong throne made of lobular rosewood, which is very domineering and meticulous. The whole mahogany exhibition hall is basically displayed in the form of living room, dining room, study and bedroom.
The Sixth Ancestor Hall behind the lobby will be dedicated to the Buddha statue of Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor, and it is also the place for the exclusive meditation project "Passing Lights and Making Wishes".
The recreation center is equipped with a tennis court, swimming pools for adults and children, a gym, a yoga room and a Tai Chi practice room.
The indoor luxury swimming pool located in the recreation center is low-key and luxurious, unique and firm. Like the hotel lobby, the whole swimming pool adopts the traditional tenon-mortise structure in China, and the wooden structure of the whole swimming pool is all connected by the concave-convex combination of tenon and mortise, without using any nails.
When sunlight shines on the water through the roof, the reflected light is also particularly beautiful.
The hydrophilic platform behind the meditation hall is a good place to enjoy the cool and practice yoga.
Longshan Lake in the backyard is an artificial lake with a water level much higher than that of Zen Buddhism. Walking in Zen is like walking in water, full of artistic conception.
Shi Die Waterfall is also a man-made landscape not to be missed, dotted with green plants and mosses, with pleasant scenery.
Liuzu Temple is the largest single-family villa in the hotel, belonging to the presidential suite, covering an area of 2,380 square meters, and all supporting furniture is made of lobular rosewood. And the supporting facilities are very complete. * * * There are 7 rooms, 5 foam pools and an independent private swimming pool, and it is equipped with living room, meeting room, study, ktv, kitchen, dining room and spa.
It is said that this bed alone is worth tens of millions.
The living room is called the mirror room. In ancient times, it was said that the furniture in the living room was made of lobular rosewood. The collection value of a throne is equivalent to a Ferrari sports car, which is very precious.
It's already evening after visiting the hotel, so it's best to put on a bathing suit and take a dip in Zen Spring, which is also the best way to keep fit in winter.
The hotel hot spring area has a unique and extremely rare hot spring resource in Guangdong Province-sulfur high-temperature mineral spring, which is rich in trace elements and can play a good health care role for human body. There are 25 special bubble pools, which can be enjoyed as much as in the forest, and the floating dust can be washed away quietly. ...
Every afternoon, there are staff members who meditate and dance yoga here. They are gentle and calm, and the years are quiet. ...
It is also an extremely enjoyable thing to take a bath in large and small bath pools, so that your body can relax little by little and enjoy the gift of nature. After soaking in hot springs, you can go to the rest area on the second floor to enjoy free snacks, tea and fruits.
Put on plain clothes the next day and you can experience the inner energy brought by "one-day meditation" in the hotel. In the first class, I learned Buddhist etiquette. With a sincere heart, listening to the sharing of the master of Guoen Temple for an hour will give me a new understanding of life.
In the afternoon, I will go to the meditation hall to meditate. The space here can accommodate up to 20 people at a time. If you are a person to experience, you don't need to make an appointment, you can enter after taking off your shoes; The other is to relax with the music rhythm and the guidance of the tutor under the guidance of the tutor, and then enter meditation. This is a charging item, and you need to make an appointment at the front desk in advance.
After meditation, you can go to the regularly open scripture-copying room and copy a copy of Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra by yourself. Whether it is collected at home or enshrined in front of the statue of the six ancestors, it is a matter of infinite merit and good luck.
Before copying, you need to clean your hands, wipe your hands and incense to show your solemnity. Language is not allowed in the process of copying, and all actions need to be slowed down. ...
There are exquisite pens and brushes on the desk to meet the different writing requirements of the guests. Each book is equivalent to reading the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra for ten times.
Zen Heart Zhai is a place for exclusive enjoyment of "Zen Tea Ceremony" and "Over-the-Hall Zhai Banquet" in meditation programs. The fasting banquet in the hall is a simplified form of fasting banquet based on the fasting banquet in the temple. It embodies five Buddhist concepts: gratitude and cherish blessings, compassion and equality, contentment and frugality, introspection and environmental protection.
Zen tea is regularly opened every afternoon, in the form of a fee, each 38 yuan. It is also very pleasant to come here to drink tea, chat with friends and share the bits and pieces of life.
Besides Zen tea, you can also learn about the empty drum and feel the most ethereal sound in the world. Empty drum corresponds to the five elements of "Jin Mu fire and water" and connects the five internal organs of "spleen, lung, liver, heart and kidney". When you meditate or sit still, empty everything and gently knock on the door, which will make people automatically enter an extremely quiet state in an instant.
In the evening, you can experience the blinking light, line up under the bodhi tree according to the master's instructions, pass the light to the sixth ancestral temple to make a wish, and listen to the sound of wooden fish moving slowly.
Each lotus lantern carries a person's wish to pray, and finally floats away with the water of Longshan Lake. ...
I have always heard that the incense in Guo 'en Temple is very strong and the blessing is very effective. On the third day of arriving at the hotel, I went to worship with my friends specially. Guo 'en Temple was founded in 683 AD by Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and it was also the place where the master died.
The temple was built on the mountain, and it still retains the architectural characteristics of the temples in the Tang Dynasty, and has the Lingnan architectural style because of its careful layout. The environment in the temple is quiet, and the incense has almost never stopped for thousands of years. It is a good choice to worship Buddha and pray.
Be sure to go to the top of the mountain after worshipping Buddha. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for sunbathing. The air is really good.
Naturally, a relaxing journey is indispensable for tasting local specialties!
Let's start with the breakfast in this hotel. Both Chinese and western dishes can satisfy the picky taste buds on the tip of the tongue.
Rice rolls and raw porridge made in the restaurant are worth a try, which are nutritious and delicious.
There are all kinds of Guangdong morning tea that can be eaten here.
Baiweiyuan Chinese Restaurant is mainly composed of original fresh emerging farm dishes, Yunfu regional specialties and healthy series dishes. It adopts the strategy of fine cooking of coarse dishes and pure natural seasoning, with traditional Cantonese cuisine as the mainstay, Shunde cuisine and Hunan cuisine as the supplement.
Recommend some special dishes that I think are good for your reference.

Ji bo Wei San shui ku fish

If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time in life.
If one day, you feel tired and want to find a quiet place, you might as well come to the Zen Spring to understand the true meaning of meditation, feel the realm of one flower, one world, one leaf and one bodhi, get rid of worldly troubles and get inner peace.
