Hangzhou has a surprisingly large number of temples since ancient times and is a famous Buddhist holy place. Many people also call Hangzhou the "Buddhist Country in the South of the Yangtze River". During the Wu and Yue periods, more than a hundred pagodas had been built in Hangzhou. It was indeed a good place for literati to write travel notes and impressions.
Whether you take refuge or observe the precepts, you need to firmly believe in cause and effect, practice mindfulness, and persevere. Without unwavering determination, it may be difficult to achieve results. The Vinaya Sect is one of the sects with the most stringent precepts among Buddhists. Master Hongyi walked towards the dangerous peaks and persevered, eventually becoming the eleventh ancestor. I think this experience is enough to influence the younger generation. Regardless of whether they are religious or not, maintaining the qualities of self-discipline, self-improvement, cherishing blessings, and frugality will benefit them throughout their lives.
The book excerpts some historical materials from the letters between Master Hongyi and his relatives and friends. Even ordinary and trivial matters can be harvested by careful reading, which shows the author's extensive contacts and his character in life.
