Chapter 51 Where can I find the lost wild ginger flower? (49)

Perhaps because of autumn, I miss the wild ginger flowers in Dakengshan, Chiayi.At this time, the wild ginger flowers on the mountain should all be in bloom, right? When I close my eyes, I seem to see wild ginger flowers like white butterflies dancing in the autumn mountains. There is still a strong and fragrant fragrance in the air, but the stone steps leading to Lingyunyan to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva have lost autumn. I am climbing high. Common wild ginger flowers bloom in streams, ravines, and streams, but the field of wild ginger flowers is located on the mountainside of four to five hundred meters, which is the starting point for us to climb the 2,600 stone steps.Whenever the locomotive climbs up from the flat ground, passes through the cloud-shrouded mountain path, arrives at a few houses scattered like stars on the mountainside, and steps into the hiking trail behind the hut, when an excited heart is still jumping, it is covered with cicada wings. The winged wild ginger elf is already waving in the wind beside the trail.

Every time you climb a step higher, the fragrance of flowers becomes stronger like a layer.Unknowingly, the road has been more than halfway, and it is one step closer to Guanyin Bodhisattva.Looking back, the mountains are full of wild ginger flowers, and the green leaves are like small boats ready to sail. They are sending us up the mountain with the chaotic dream like a white butterfly. That wonderful mountaineering time flew away like a butterfly.After leaving the mountains, I was eager to find wild ginger flowers on another mountain, but except for Dakeng Mountain, wild ginger flowers only seemed to grow near the water.

Until I saw a small piece of wild ginger flower field on the nearby loess mound... the same autumn, the same green leaves and white flowers, the same tangy aroma, but it felt like something was missing.what!Many experiences in life will never come back, and old people will also never return.The wild ginger flowers on the hillside in autumn can only be found in memory. Every passing moment is unique, it is fleeting, if you don't notice and cherish it, it will slip by quietly before your eyes.And no matter how much you grasp it, it will become a thing of the past.No wonder the "Diamond Sutra" says: "The past heart cannot be obtained, the present heart cannot be obtained, and the future heart cannot be obtained." Which heart are you looking for? Maybe what I really miss is not the wild ginger flower on the mountain, but the lingering fragrance of the flower , Feel the mood of facing the mountains in autumn!It's just that both are equally impermanent and disillusioned.

"I view the worlds in the ten directions, like the tiny stars in the morning, and like the foam on the water, the clouds, thunder, lightning, and fire in summer, the flickering candles in the wind, like dreams, illusions, and unreal." The Buddha once described it in such a beautiful verse The nature of impermanence tells us that everything is in flux and there is no such thing as eternity. If you can always keep this teaching in mind, your heart will not be confused by feelings and emotions, and you will be able to reduce some emotions and pursuits—such as the passing wild ginger flower and the no longer light.
