"When science climbed to the top of the mountain, it found that theology had been waiting there long ago." Longquan Temple under Fenghuang Ridge in Beijing is a true portrayal of this sentence. This temple can be said to be a gathering of "eminent monks". Here we have a doctorate in the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, , Tsinghua , nuclear and thermal physics, Tsinghua , fluid mechanics , and , , , , Philosophy Department of Peking University, which can be called the 985 and 211 temples, and the branch temples of "Tsinghua Peking University". Many people come here because of this to see the style of the great monks, including many celebrities. This celebrity includes Xiaolong .
rumor before the founding of WeChat, Zhang Xiaolong was in a difficult situation due to some problems in the program code and was very distressed. He came to Longquan Temple to relax and find inspiration. Zhang Xiaolong wrote the program code here, but encountered a bottleneck again. He angrily crumpled the paper of the program code into a ball and threw it on the ground. When he returned from relaxing, he found that the program code paper was placed on the desk and had modified several errors. Therefore, Zhang Xiaolong suddenly realized that he created the WeChat software. This sounds like a modern version of the story of the Sweeping Monk. Regardless of the authenticity, this story does make Longquan Temple famous to a higher level. Next, we will introduce several monks from Longquan Temple. Each of their stories is a movie. Their education was once talked about by people, but when they entered the monks, they were isolated from the world of fame and fortune. What kind of quiet state do these existences, like dazzling stars in the secular world, look like a state of peace in the temple? Have you reached the spiritual world they pursue?
Master Xianqing - Tsinghua Thermal Physics Doctor: Before becoming a monk, he was commonly known as Zhang Qingguang. His family was a simple rural person. Zhang Qingguang was arranged in the middle of his family. There was an older brother on the top and a younger sister on the bottom. Zhang Qingguang was the best at studying. The family could not afford to go to college at home, so his brother and sister both voluntarily dropped out of school, allowing the second son who was the best to continue his studies. He did not let his family down and was admitted to a doctorate in Tsinghua University. His father, who had been frugal all his life, held a big school banquet in the village. After graduating from Tsinghua University with a doctorate, Zhang Qingguang found a high-paying job, and he had an excellent girlfriend at that time, and he had reached the point of discussing marriage. My father was very proud and felt that Guangzong Yaozu's life was worth it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingguang had worked for a while and chose to become a monk. He first told his girlfriend about this idea, but his girlfriend couldn't understand it. In order to better understand his girlfriend, he also started to learn Buddhism. After learning Buddhism, his girlfriend no longer stopped him.
Zhang Qingguang did not tell his parents that when they found out, his son was already Master Xianqing. My parents collapsed for a while and came to stop them or even kneel down for a long time. However, in the face of great faith, everything is futile. Xianqing felt that since he wanted to practice, he must "abandon his relatives and give up his love." It is precisely because Zhang Qingguang insisted on his choice that Master Xianqing existed. He liberated his soul in the world and became the self he wanted to be the most. Now his parents have accepted him as a monk. He has visited the temple many times and stayed for a while every time he comes. For nearly half a month, Master Xianqing accompanied him throughout the whole process and took good care of him. In Xianqing's view, this is an eternal "debt repayment" process, just the repayment of the monks, and the creditor is no longer just his parents, but also the parents of everyone in the world. His ex-girlfriend is already married and her husband is also a Buddhist. The couple also visited him at Longquan Temple.
Xianwei Master - Chinese Academy of Sciences PhD in Biophysics: Biophysics, the law of all things, perhaps because the heights are too cold, Xiwei Master needs higher levels of satisfaction in ethereal places. Because of his professional knowledge, he has been studying the fate of life, and science still cannot explain his exploration of life. In his past 20 years of education, his ideals have always been changing. From scientists to entrepreneurs, from entrepreneurs to politicians, he has not found the answer. After learning Buddhism, Master Xianwei felt that he had finally found a convincing explanation for the system of life, so he stepped into another door of life without hesitation: the empty door. Master Xianwei believed that this decision was not difficult for him, and he said it was like enrolling in school.
"Enrollment Ceremony" was in Longquan Temple in Beijing. After repentance, he received the initiation and shaved his hair. From then on, "love forever and forever loses blessings and wisdom." His classmates and friends were not surprised that he became a monk, because they knew that all his thoughts were all going deep into the ultimate question at once. He had more awe for life and seemed to be more suitable for becoming a monk, so he could understand that he chose to convert to religion as his destination. Master Xianwei in the temple is dedicated to Buddha and experience the spiritual realm of life. Nowadays, the wise and powerful are very simple, and they hardly show up. They are completely in an enlightenment and stay silently in Longquan Temple to make their own contributions.
Zenxing Master - PhD in Fluid Mechanics of Tsinghua University, is one of the earliest veterans to participate in the reconstruction of Longquan Temple and the supervisory institute of Longquan Temple. Master Chanxing divided his life for more than 40 years into four stages. The first stage is called play and enjoyment, the second stage is called academic success, the third stage is called dedication to others, and the fourth stage is to transcend oneself. The first two stages are the pursuit before learning Buddhism, and the last two stages are the pursuit after learning Buddhism.
Master Chanxing was born in 1974 in an intellectual family in Shijiazhuang. His parents dote on him very much. He spent his entire childhood enjoying fun. The second stage refers to his academic pursuit. He was admitted to Tsinghua Ph.D. When he was in his senior year, his health became very poor and he became very thin. It was also from that time that his interest in scientific research plummeted and his target direction was lost, and he was exposed to Buddhism at this time. After resolving the troubles, life suddenly became easier. Although I have been studying for many years in the past, life is actually a very narrow life. There are no others, only myself, and I have never thought about others. Therefore, I have never experienced the joy of giving for others, nor have I experienced the joy of arisen in my heart.
After learning Buddhism, I started to learn to give to others and do good deeds, and my heart opened. It was also from that time that my health became better and better. Master Chanxing said that from the perspective of Buddhism, I no longer have this body, but instead have to others. I will do good deeds, and my blessings will continue to grow, my karma will be eliminated, and my illness will naturally get better. This also allowed Master Chanxing to experience the truth of Buddhism and became more confident that the path of becoming a monk would definitely be able to follow.
Master Xianyu - Department of Mathematics of Peking University, Liu Zhiyu Since childhood, he has been regarded as a rare mathematical genius and a superb IQ. He has won the mathematics competition championship many times and was admitted to the mathematics department of Peking University. However, after going to college, Liu Zhiyu gradually lost interest in mathematics. He said that he liked mathematics when he was a child because it was a challenging intellectual game. However, when mathematics became a machine for competition, mathematics was meaningless to him. Coupled with day-to-day mechanical training, his eye disease worsened. At this time, he met a senior sister who studied Buddhism. Buddhism allowed his drifting spirit to rest for a long time, and his long-term loneliness found a place to stay. In 2010, 22-year-old Liu Zhiyu graduated from Peking University and received an admission notice from MIT , a full scholarship of US$70,000 a year. The visa has been obtained and the luggage has been packed, but at this time Liu Zhiyu decided not to go abroad to become a monk!
This decision made his parents seriously ill. His father was a middle school physics teacher. The students in the class said that the teacher's hair turned white overnight. Liu Zhiyu's arrival brought the reputation of Longquan Temple to its peak. When many people thought that this mathematical genius would become an monk, , Liu Zhiyu did not choose to stay in Buddhism. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2022, Liu Zhiyu decided to return to secular life and took up a psychological institution in May. The industry he is engaged in now has nothing to do with mathematics, but rather studies psychology in depth. This seems to be similar to Buddhism. It is both tending to comfort emotions, which is considered to explore the scientific principles of the human spirit on another path.
Master Xianqi - Tsinghua Engineering Doctor: He comes from a high-level family, and he has been Tsinghua Affiliated Primary School , affiliated high school, Tsinghua undergraduate and doctoral degree. After graduating from a doctorate, he encountered religion and was innocent and devoted himself to it.He has the heart to serve the country and educate the people in his heart. Once he believes that religion is feasible, he will do his best. After the movie " No Questions about West and East " was released, Master Xianqi also watched it. It is a story about Tsinghua University students sacrificing their lives to serve their country during the country's difficulties. Master Xianqi burst into tears in front of the screen. Master Xianqi was the first among them to follow his master to Longquan Temple. For more than 20 years, he has managed Longquan Temple in an orderly manner, and can even be compared with the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple. He made an indelible contribution to the reconstruction of Longquan Temple.
Master Xianqi is a recognized teacher by later generations and a well-deserved role model among his disciples. He was loyal to his master, and he could be said to be his right-hand man. He worked day and night and devoted himself to his master's various careers, such as taking a lay Buddhist to compile and edit a hundred blog books for his master. With one word from the master, he can fight to the death. Although Master Xianqi is tall and tall, he is as simple as a child. It is precisely this sincere and insufficiency that has made him deeply trapped in the future tragedy. I didn't expect that the master I worshipped was the biggest disaster in Buddhism. He found that the temple was not a pure land and could not tolerate his feelings. At present, Master Xianqi has returned to secular life and has been married and has children.
