First stop: Longju Temple, where Buddha Master’s disciple Tonghui Dharma Master entered nirvana and left a body that doesn’t rot, the body sarira. Tonghui Dharma Master’s disciple Xian Master is the current abbot.
Wenshu Yuan Monastery: This temple was very busy. It’s a well known temple located in the center of Chengdu. My mom used to go a lot.
Baoguang Temple: Many of Buddha Master’s disciples were cremated at this temple. There were many holy miracles during and after the cremation of these holy beings. Buddha Master also lived here for a few years, expounding Buddha Dharma and drawing as an artist.
Wuzhong Mountain — Jiewang Temple: Upon arriving at the foot of Wuzhong Mountain we were greeted by Jiewang Temple. Dharma Master Guozhang, previous abbot of Jiewang Temple and a disciple of Buddha Master, entered nirvana at this temple and attained the body sarira.
Wuzhong Mountain — Mingyue Temple: Next to the Mingyue Temple is the Mingyue Pool. I noticed that only when I chanted Buddha Master’s Buddha name the fish moved towards me, but it could just be that they think I’m here to feed them.
Gaotang Temple was where Yongding Dharma Master, a Great Bodhisattva, once stayed. For a very long time, Yongding Dharma Master practiced as a layperson. Yongding Dharma Master was then known as Xiangcheng Li (李相臣). Actually, the original name given by his father was Bingxun Li (李秉勋). Buddha Master has spoken about him multiple times in Dharma Discourses.
Last stop was the Master Wan Ko Yee Museum: This was the only such museum constructed while the honoree was still living. “Master Wan Ko Yee” was my Buddha Master’s name before being recognized and known as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
