高野山座落于海拔900公尺,是816年由空海(弘法大师)开创、作为真言宗总本山的门前町,共有117座寺院建筑。清晨薄雾会在街道间笼罩至早上8点;每座寺院都飘着袅袅香烟;身披袈裟的僧侣至今仍在清晨6点诵经,一如1200年来从未间断。你可以在寺院里过夜(宿坊),睡在榻榻米上、吃精进料理(僧侣素食),若清晨醒得早还能参加早课。这座门前町有两个核心:坛上伽蓝——拥有朱红宝塔的神圣寺院群,以及奥之院墓地——一条2公里长的参道,穿越500年古杉林,两侧是20万座墓冢。相传空海的肉身就长眠在此,永恒入定,并非死去,而是仍在等待。僧侣每天为他送饭两次。入夜后,1万座灯笼点亮参道,整片森林都弥漫着檀香的气味。高野山不是博物馆——这些都是仍在运作的寺院,僧侣在此修行、学习,维系着几世纪未曾改变的仪式。你住的是修行道场,不是饭店,这一点从那份寂静与纪律中就能感受到。
