Butterfly unexpectedly also longevity, let butterfly spend 600 years? I have been to the butterfly symbol we lived after the fall, the butterfly will sound the trail next summer, the butterfly larvae will become a butterfly, once again appeared in front of people, and the ancient Chinese have summer insects lack ice language saying, but have long to 600 years of butterfly legend, what is going on?
Things happened in August 12, 1963. This day, monks in the life of elder, I do not know to clean up the closed for several hundred years in the basement. The basement of the thick dust has a few inches, feet step on, it makes the dusty, dark basement, more dark.
A monk named Cheng light, desperate to walk forward the dust, suddenly, his feet met something, looked down, turned out to be a large wooden box. He shouted: "I found the baby!" he shouted this, everyone gathered a look, the original is a box made of bronze, about 80 cm high, 120 cm long, 60 cm wide, box engraved with many solemn statues. Originally kept the little monks frolic, see the Buddha, constantly read "Amitabha", did not dare to trouble.
We got the box onto the hall all flurry and confusion, up to 108 years of age the elders of the master trembling walked to the front of the chest looked to say: "the box is filled with the body by a monk of the temple, are likely to have become a mummy." Several elders together to discuss, open or not open. Consensus is, open, but be careful not to offend the senior monk body of law.
The box is open, and there was a mummy, wearing a red robe from Phnom Penh, the elders should be above the level of the monk. He kept some papers around him. The little monk take out the document to read the elders. The original box monk is the third generation of the temple Abbot master ming. The document, first knelt, monks also knelt down for a time, "Amitabha" voices in the hall rang. The abbot went to the box, the box and found a silver box, he put out a small box, say to you: "Ming master is 600 years ago the senior monks, this small box may put his handwriting, please the teacher to open it."
The elders came to go, in two little monk's help, opened the small box. When he opened the box, even from the inside to fly out of a black and yellow butterfly, and around the temple monk was amazed to see flying outside of the temple.
To see this scene, the abbot monk hands together, say: "good, good, apotheosis!" the elders said: "all things are empty!" the younger monk mouth, although also in reading "Amitabha", but in my heart whispered: "what is going on. The box? Has been closed for 600 years, how will the living butterfly flew out from the inside?"
Some people think that the butterfly could not survive 600 years, probably from the larvae drill into the box of the small crack, and hatch into a butterfly.
