静安寺
�
今天天气不错,我跟老公溜达到静安寺,静安寺是城中寺,为了让人们在这纷扰世道里借助佛力,静安寺正在大举扩建中,新雕刻的木楼,花岗岩梯阶和室刻衬托着银佛,香樟木观音和白玉释迦牟尼这三个镇寺之宝使这原本很破旧的寺庙有望重振香火。
�
静安寺名字起得好,心静才能得安康。当善男信女们走到大佛前双手合十地跪下,凝视她的眼睛,念念有词,不管是为谁人和为啥事无非都是为了静和安。
�
三个佛中,香樟木观音最自然也最接地气。扑面而来的是香樟木散发出自然的香味,这香味的浓度足以让信众们从世俗中自然地超脱出来,哪怕超脱几分钟也好。观音在上,当你仰视她的时候你改变了平日里平视的视角,你的心态跟着变换了坐标,你会问自己从哪里来,想想自己会到哪里去这件事。观音的目光是温和并坚定的,温和到你会感到佛的体恤,坚定到你离开佛时脚步不再蹒跚。
�
我不禁想起北京雍和宫里的大佛。三十五年前当我还是个十六岁的大学生,我第一次触到那尊大佛的目光时,我的膝就自然地跪下来了,人对佛存敬畏之心实际上是对自己的尊重。年轻的孩子们有机会早点见到佛是个好事。
�
那座缅甸玉做的玉佛面部线条很柔美,饰物飘逸,身材现代,佛脸上的花纹让我联想到玉的精神,一块好玉,并不是无暇的,这块并非纯白的玉佛给人丰满的感觉。这玉的花纹使佛更有人性。
�
相对来说银佛就有点那个,想必是因为金子太贵了,要造大佛就造不起,所以用银子做,一用就是十五吨哪。银的颜色跟金的颜色很不同,跟寺的格调也不太协调。记得京都有个银阁寺。忘记里面的佛是不是银的了。佛不是靠其体积普度众生的。
�
当人们走出热闹的久光百货,肯定能闻到静安的香火味道。情也好愿也罢你会想到佛,但愿因为此念,三聚氰胺和毒胶囊的营生会少点。
