The Wine Bottle Cave酒瓶穴

Yesterday I came to inspect Yanshan Leizang Temple. This is a "wine bottle cave." Yanshan Leizang Temple is shaped like a "wine bottle." A wine bottle has many virtues — even after the wine is all drunk, the bottle can still be sold for money. Anyone who enters here becomes blissfully intoxicated — deeply absorbed in the wonder of it all. The wine inside the bottle is "water," and water is "wealth" — wealth comes naturally.

我昨天來看了嚴山雷藏寺，這是一個「酒瓶穴」。嚴山雷藏寺像個「酒瓶」一樣。「酒瓶」也有好處，就算酒都喝完了，瓶子還是可以賣錢。只要進到這裡來的人，統統都迷迷糊糊的，沉醉在其中；「酒瓶」裡面的「酒」，就是「水」，「水」就是「財」，錢自然就有。

In Esoteric Buddhism, wine is "nectar." Anyone with a karmic connection who enters the wine bottle cave of Yanshan Leizang Temple is like drinking nectar — receiving the Dharma and becoming blissfully absorbed. At such a moment, it is as the Heart Sutra teaches: "No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind..." Understanding this truth, you need not keep your eyes too wide open. Each person lives within the wine bottle — and all is well.

密教說的「酒」是「甘露」。只要有緣的一進來就飲了「甘露」，得了密法，就迷迷糊糊，就如同心經裡面所說的，「無眼耳鼻舌身意，無色聲香味觸法…」這道理只要你明白了以後，你不要睜開眼睛，每個人都活在酒瓶裡面。

The Temple Mandala殊勝壇城

Yanshan Leizang Temple's mandala and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all most magnificent — the Seven World-Honouring Buddhas, the Eight Principal Deities and Dharma Protectors; as well as the Hall of the Lotus Prince, the Kalachakra Hall, the Medicine Buddha Hall, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Hall, the Yamantaka Hall, and the Red Dzambhala Hall — each deity most magnificent. Behind is the Ksitigarbha Hall, and in the future there will also be a Vidyaraja Hall. To practise here is to achieve realisation.

嚴山雷藏寺的壇城及佛菩薩都非常莊嚴，有七佛世尊、八大本尊及護法；還有蓮花童子殿、時輪金剛殿、藥師佛殿、千手觀音殿、大威德金剛殿、紅財神殿，每一尊都非常莊嚴，後面有地藏殿，未來還有明王殿，在這裡修行，一定成就。
