The places close to Fawang Temple are all large bamboo forests. When people come here, their eyes are full of bamboo forests. Whenever monks pass by the vegetarian food, a bell sound faintly comes from the sky above the bamboo forest. Therefore, Fawang Temple is also called the Bamboo Forest Temple by people.

Someone said: This is the spiritual realm where the five hundred great arhats are stationed.

A monk came from the right area of ​​Shaanxi to pay homage to the holy traces left by Bodhidharma . On the way, he met a monk. On the way, he met a monk: I am a monk in Zhulin Temple. I have a document that I want to submit to Dianzu. As long as I hit the big tree next to the Buddhist temple, someone should come out to respond.

The monks of the Zhou Dynasty accepted the document and continued walking. When they reached the place where the monks said on the road, the trees were deep, and the bamboos were lush and there was no one to find to ask. So the monks of the Zhou Dynasty tried to knock on the big tree. A small walker came out and guided the monks of the Zhou Dynasty in. After walking hundreds of steps, they encountered a stone bridge. After crossing the bridge, they walked another hundred steps. The monks of the Zhou Dynasty saw a big Buddha land. The buildings in the Buddhist temple were golden and green, and dazzling.

The monk from Zhike came to greet him, and the monk showed the documents he had received to Zhike. Zhike monk said: Dian Zu happened to go to Brahma Savage Realm to attend the vegetarian meeting, and he would be back in a while.

Sitting for a long time, the monks were sitting in the sky, and saw more than a hundred monks, some were riding on flying cranes, some were riding on lions, and some were riding on dragons and phoenixes. The monks slowly descended from the sky.

The monk in the temple held a document and presented it to the monk Dianzu, and begged to live in the temple. The monk Dianzu firmly disagreed and ordered the young traveler to guide the monk Dianzu out of the temple.

The little walker guided the monk to follow the original path. When he reached the stone bridge, the walker pointed out a small path for the monk to let the monk go out by himself.

After watching the monk, he took a few steps. When he turned around, he saw the steep mountain walls of Chihiro high. There were towering trees under the walls, and the temple could not be found at all.
