Why are we going on a pilgrimage? How blessed is the holy land for us?

When I was walking around the pagoda in Ta 'er Temple, I met an old Lama from Labrang Temple. Two days ago, he came to Beijing and told me: He has done three things in his life, chanting Buddhism and practicing, walking around the tower and closing the door. That sounds admirable! However, Zhong told his disciples that walking around the tower and chanting scriptures are not real practice. The real practice is to give up this world, that is, to really give up the greed for reincarnation in your heart! It seems that it is not enough to practice body and language alone, but also to practice more thoroughly in the center of the earth, that is, the unity of body, mouth and mind. The old Lama is very enthusiastic about the stupa with Todoroki, and I am very sincere to go to worship. I hope I can go on a pilgrimage if I have the opportunity. I have collected and accumulated many pictures, news and articles related to cultural relics. There are eight Buddha tooth relics in Lingguang Temple in Beijing alone, and two Buddha meat relics exist in Yunju Temple in Fangshan. I am most interested in the two Buddha tooth relics in the wooden pagoda in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province. (As for the Buddhist tooth relics, I heard that there are at least ten Buddhist teeth left in the world: those of Lingguang Temple in Beijing; A pair of Buddha's teeth in Sagata, Buddha's Palace Temple in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province, the Buddha's teeth in Wang Dafa Temple in Songshan County, Henan Province, the Buddha's teeth in Wannian Temple in Emei Mountain, Sichuan Province, the Buddha's teeth in Foguang Mountain in Taiwan Province and the Buddha's teeth in Kandy Temple in Sri Lanka. Relevant research experts said: suppose that all seven Buddha teeth left by Sakyamuni after making tea have been found. Then according to the scripture, at least three of them are fake Buddha teeth. ) There are the earliest relics on the top of the Buddha's head in qixia temple, the Buddha's finger relics in Anfamen Temple in Xi, the relics in Yun Qi Tower of Baima Temple in Luoyang before, and the relics in Baoguang Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan. I heard that they were the relics in Asoka Temple in Zhejiang, but I didn't go to worship them. I said I really wanted to worship every stupa, but King Ashoka used his divine power to set up 84,000 stupas all over the world to worship the Buddhist relics of Sakyamuni. According to the book, there are 19 places in China, and there are more places to worship abroad, so we will spend our whole life chasing worship, which is estimated to be endless. The Buddha's purpose in leaving us a relic is to let us accumulate blessings, let us know what the Buddha saw, realize what the Buddha saw and prove what the Buddha saw. Let's see that the Buddhist relics remember the Buddha, remember the Buddha's compassion, wisdom and merits, and follow the Buddha until they get the Buddha's fruit. Like his old man's house, they also left relics to benefit all beings. Once I went to worship Buddha, and everyone else went, except one brother who refused to go. He said: It is better to visit the Buddhist relics than to leave their own Buddhist relics after practice. Yes, brother Liu, isn't he? She vowed to be the best disciple of the guru, and she really did. She left a legacy! Once, a senior brother told me when walking around the tower in Ta 'er Temple: Many of us practitioners seek blessings, but we don't understand why we should be blessed. Why are we going on a pilgrimage? Buddha relics and holy places have blessed us, that's for sure, but will blessing alone make us become Buddhas? Don't! If we want our hearts to correspond to the Buddha devoutly and regard the guru as the corresponding Buddha, the guru is your heart, and all external appearances are expressed through the guru, then when the time is ripe, external blessing and internal unity will trigger enlightenment, which is the real blessing, and our inner enlightenment is the real complete blessing! ! ! At that time, the blessing was nothing more than nothing, just as the Buddha revealed that the heart was nothing more than nothing. The greatest blessing of true blessing is inner enlightenment! Oh! The guru is blessing me. When I walk around the tower, I hear and think. ...
