����Tiantai Mountain Buddhist College one day

����Where they came from, why should he?

Tiantai Mountain Buddhist College is located in eastern Zhejiang mountain temple million years, surrounded by hills, very quiet environment. It was founded in 1999, founded by Zuting "has one thousand years of history, Buddhism Tiantai Guoqing temple". The existing branch (undergraduate) class learn monk, course of study of Buddhism of dozens of people, coupled with the master, teachers, staff and temple million years resident mage, nearly a hundred people.

According to receive my master, Tiantai Mountain school system for 3 years, during this period, in addition to the completion of learning monks and Buddhist history, the religion and the ancient Chinese and calligraphy classes, but also learn English language courses. After graduation, on a voluntary basis, learn the monks can back to the original monk temple, or choose to, can also be retained to study for master's degree.

Many monks in rhythm

During that memorable day, I learned monks and be together morning and night, left a lot of memories. Generally speaking, the Buddha college life is simple and orderly. Every day at 4 in the morning, there was a knock on the plate with the sound, the Buddha school day begins. At this time, I also often follow monks dressed up. No face, carrying a heavy photographic equipment, groping along the aisle to Buddha Institute bending hall shooting matin.

Because the Buddhist prayer time is in the morning, so people are not allowed to see in the world: if is a person from the public from cavity, the number of people beat Muyu, walking, tambourine, bells, the people and the chanting of sutras. Monks in the mages led, sometimes standing chanting, sometimes by the line around the Buddha, and Buddha information, and pray...... In the melodious sound, the hall was filled with a quiet and peaceful.

At five thirty, if the end, the monks to room with breakfast. After the meal is free of early reading time. Learn the monks or sweeping the courtyard, or organize personal health, until 8 am formal class. Buddhist part generally taught by the school master, the old professor emeritus in ancient Chinese and English employs Normal University. But for education is not a, experience different learn monk, in order to learn Buddhist doctrines and culture course is not an easy thing to do. Several times in the deep night, I also see there are still some monks learn to ask questions in English teacher dormitory.
