A living room in a temple in Zhejiang. On a long morning, several monks and masters chatted together. The tranquility and ethereality of the temple were surrounded by innocent and beautiful communication, and they talked about their interests and hobbies. Suddenly, a master said that he likes playing the piano and knows how to play a little. Once, he played happily at the entrance of the mall. At this time, another master said that there is a piano in our temple, which was donated by a kind lay Buddhist.

"Really? Then I'll try it out." The first monk immediately stood up and walked towards the piano on the second floor.

Because few monks in the temple can play the piano, the dust has accumulated on the piano for a long time, the master gently wiped off the dust on the piano, wiped the keys, and tried it out, and played the song "City of the Sky". He also used WeChat video to connect with the monks and masters in living hall . The master in the living room was very comfortable and at ease when he listened to this song. He didn't know the name and composer of the song, but he felt that the song was very good. The soothing melody is also suitable for the quiet style of the temple. This is a thousand-year-old temple. It has experienced wars and fires in history, but there are always monks who come here to rebuild the temple. Now the incense is very popular.

The master who plays the piano can only play this song and is not skilled, but he soon returned to the living room because there are many temple affairs in the living room. The master was still a little nervous about playing the piano. He felt that the temple might be playing classical Chinese instruments, such as guqin , and guzheng . But he likes playing the piano. The master next to him comforted him and said with a smile: "The temple should be more open. As long as the melody is soothing, positive, and pure and beautiful, you can play it in temple activities. The temple is essentially a mind-cultivation."

When the master was studying at China Buddhist Academy, he was once a member of the orchestra. His self-taught piano also performed in a concert hall in New York, USA on behalf of Chinese Buddhist musicians. Playing the piano is a kind of practice and a kind of life for him.
