Summary
DescriptionTHE ABBOT.jpg |
中文(繁體):1849年,廣東省城(廣州)華林寺住持祇園和尚奉詔始建總面積為1364平方米的五百羅漢堂,除供奉三寶佛外,還陳列著神態各異的泥塑五百羅漢像,成為當時外國攝影師鏡頭的焦點。但湯姆遜卻把鏡頭對準了這裡住持的私人庭院,他介紹,這位住持大半生時間都隱居在這裡,他很喜歡養花,其中有一株盛開的睡蓮。 English: John Thomson: OR Chief Priest of this temple. About three years ago, when I paid my first visit to this establishment, in company with a native gentleman from the Canton Customs Office, I was introduced to this Abbot- He received us with great courtesy, conducted us to his private apartments, and there refreshed us with tea-cakes and fruit. The rooms he occupied were enclosed by a high wall, and approached through a granite-paved inner quadrangle, adorned with a variety of rare and beautiful flowers. Conspicuous among the latter was a splendid specimen of the Sacred Lotus, in full bloom, and growing in an ornamental tank, on whose surface floated many other brilliantly green aquatic plants. The old gentleman had spent half his lifetime in this secluded place, and was greatly devoted to his flowers, discoursing on their beauty with an eloquent fondness, and expressing his delight to discover in a foreigner kindred sentiments of admiration. The furniture of the apartments consisted of chairs of skilfully carved black wood, one or two tables, and a shrine of the same material ; while a number of well- executed drawings, hung about the white walls, displayed a simple taste and refinement in keeping with the surroundings of their proprietor's secluded life. Two years afterwards I visited the temple again, and executed the photograph here represented. On the second occasion I met with the same kind hospitality at the hands of the Abbot and the priests in his care— a hospitality which, with one exception, I enjoyed in all the Buddhist establishments I visited throughout my travels in China. |
