When their conversation did not go well, Damo crossed the river on a reed. Passing through the Mufu Mountain, he saw a stone cave and took a brief rest there, which is why it was later named the Damo Ancient Cave.

I stood before the ancient Damo Cave, filled with reverence and curiosity. This ancient cave, located on the hillside of Mount Mufu in Nanjing, is said to be the place where Bodhidharma, the patriarch of Zen Buddhism, once practiced. I followed the steep mountain path, winding my way up, and finally arrived at the entrance to the Damo Cave. The cave's entrance hung high, as if it were a portal to another world. I stepped carefully into the cave, and a cool breeze greeted me, invigorating my spirit. Inside the cave, rocks jutted out in disarray, and the stone walls were covered with moss and mottled traces, as if narrating the vicissitudes of time. I looked up to see the high cave ceiling, where a sliver of light from a crevice shone down, illuminating a corner of the cave. Under that faint light, I seemed to see the figure of Bodhidharma, the patriarch, practicing diligently within the cave. I continued along the small path inside the cave, and a statue of Bodhidharma appeared before me. He was draped in a kasaya, holding prayer beads, with his eyes slightly closed and a serene expression on his face. At that moment, I felt as if I could sense his inner peace and wisdom. As I moved deeper into the cave, I discovered that the interior was complex, with many stalactites and stalagmites forming a unique landscape. I couldn't help but marvel at nature's craftsmanship, capable of creating such a wondrous topography. In the ancient Damo Cave, time seemed to stand still. I was immersed in the ancient history and religious atmosphere, feeling a tranquility that was cut off from the world. There was no noise or disturbance from the outside, only inner peace and contemplation of life. When I left the Damo Cave, my heart was filled with emotion and respect. This ancient cave has witnessed the inheritance and development of Buddhist culture, and it has prompted me to think more deeply about life. With respect for Bodhidharma, I set off on my way home, hoping to bring this tranquility and wisdom back into my everyday life.

Nanjing's autumn is slow and short, but it is also more beautiful because of its brevity. I even get confused sometimes. There are so many beautiful places, which one should I shoot first today? Someone asked me why I like taking photos so much? I especially like taking photos of scenery. Because I can walk with nature, immerse myself in the healing power of nature and feel all the beauty of this world. In fact, this small forest was discovered by accident when I went to Yanziji to take pictures of the Bodhidharma Cave. It is not very conspicuous. It is in front of the gate of the scenic area, at the foot of Mufu Mountain. You can't find it unless you look for it deliberately. Looking up at the trees is a beautiful feeling As the wind blows by, you can smell the leaves, hear the birds singing, and see the colors of autumn. Yes, all that's missing is a girl in a white dress appearing in the picture Specific location: A very obvious path at the entrance of the Damo Cave parking lot
