Lake water 2000 years strange between arid desert

Crescent Lake - Heaven in the desert desert

Crescent Lake is a Chinese version of Nguyet Nha Tuyen, a crescent-shaped freshwater lake located in an oasis of the Gobi Desert , 5 km south of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, China. This lake contains pure water, about 218 m long, 54 m wide.

Nguyet Nha Tuyen (or Crescent) lasts for at least 2000 years, but is disappearing due to the overgrowth of agriculture.

It is unthinkable that this small paradise in the desert has existed for 2,000 years now, there must be some meaning.

' There are many beautiful legends about the formation of this lake, but in fact, the most important reason is its terrain. The land here is relatively lower than in other places, so it is suitable for storing water. In addition, the study revealed that with this special crescent shape, the layers of sand falling from the surrounding sand dunes will be returned to the nearby sand dunes. Thus, the sand beaches do not fill the lake. This unusual earthquake helps the dunes and lakes remain harmonious and almost paradoxical, 'wrote Nice Art Life.

The story about the origin of Ho Nguyet Nha in Dunhuang:

In Dunhuang, Gansu Province, the land is very fertile. There are two tribes here. At first they lived together very harmoniously, but then continued to fight each other. At that time, humans were quite barbaric due to low moral standards. If they kill the enemy, they will eat their enemy meat. After that, to educate them, a Taoist with powerful supernatural power descended from heaven. After learning how to live as human beings, they began to develop. This Taoist teaches people how to cherish life and live more civilized. Unfortunately, many people do not want to follow his teachings and want to harm him.

After more than two years, this Taoist realized that the people in these two tribes really lacked compassion. He seriously warned them one afternoon: 'A very serious thing is about to happen here, and the barbarians must be punished for their actions. The whole area will turn into a big desert. ' Most of them ignored this, and even threw stones at him. Only a few children knew that he was a Divine Fairy . These children knelt down and said they would listen to his instructions. The Taoist smiled and told them: 'Now everyone will continue the tribal life, and I will take you to a zone. distant area tonight. No matter what happens, just stay there and think about me, then everything will be fine. Remember to keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will reveal your natural nature, and will die like the rest of the tribe . '

That night, a large sandstorm emerged and the whole area quickly flooded in the sea of ​​sand. The barbarians screamed and gradually sank in the sea of ​​sand. Everything was over, and only the endless desert remained as if nothing had happened there. When the Taoist saw this scene, he burst into tears. What can you do? It was their choice, because they could not cherish themselves.

When the sun rises the next morning, the children wake up. They were extremely surprised when they saw the desert. After gathering, they started crying. The Taoist asked why they cried. They said they cried for those who were too barbaric and did not listen to him, and eventually suffered a tragic end - buried in sand. The Taoist was touched by their knowledge and believed that they could teach. coax. Perhaps God wants to encourage these children - where their tears fall, there are green grass growing there. No matter how strong the wind is, the green grass still stands. After that, the children began meditating with the Taoist master.

After a short time, the Taoist realized that the children needed food, but the desert was too wide, there was no water and nothing to eat. The Taoist decided that he would use gods to create food, but heaven forbade him to do it. The higher-level fairy said: 'The desert appears due to the decline in human moral standards. If people want to cultivate here, they must be steadfast and have strong faith in him . '

The Taoist understands that children need to express their gratitude to heaven by their own actions, he told his disciples: ' I will leave for a short time to solve some fish problems. and you must cultivate diligently. Don't let go! ', and then he disappeared. At first, the children were very determined, but after that, some started starving and went out to find food. When lost in sandstorms, they are buried in sand. Some like to play, forget cultivation and die in the desert. There was only one child, always thinking about cultivation, belittling difficult circumstances and having strong faith in his teacher.

One day, when he was very hungry and thirsty, he felt the wind and sand were about to bury himself. Even when his eyes and nose were covered with sand, he still sat there. He thought only about a master's sentence: 'Cultivate diligently and don't let go! 'Gradually, his lips became dry and cracked, his body nearly lost water. He thought: 'Regardless of what happens, we must cultivate, even if we lose our lives. My teacher is right, how happy it is to be able to understand the principles of this life, and we should not ask for anything else . '

In the most crucial moment between life and death, this child does not think about it and loses. He showed a strong belief. At the same time, a giant white goddess appeared in the sky. She was deeply touched and smiled in the human realm. Seeing the crescent moon, she waved, and a crescent-shaped lake with cool water appeared before the boy. When she waved a few times, green trees, fish ponds with ducks swimming appeared. At that time, the Taoist returned. He smiled at the child and said: ' Son, I have passed many tests. You have attained the righteousness and have left a good example for the future person. Everything will continue here, and the crescent lake will never run out, unless the moral standards of people slump greatly. Then it will gradually run out. This lake is a reminder for people. Now I will return to heaven and be there for a while, then I will be reincarnated in different places at different times. Because I have witnessed this, I should write them down when Dafa is transmitted in humanity, and when the evil forces test Dafa '.

Ho Nguyet Nha exists as a wake-up call: When people no longer deserve to be a person, God will truly destroy them, and only good will can save them, and only cultivate New training can help them get rid of suffering. Consistent cultivation can really shake the Earth and Earth. Later, more cultivators and even temples have appeared around this lake. The pure Ho Nguyet Nha is still there, when people have gradually come to understand the purpose of being human.
