Introduction to Wuhan Lianxi Temple Is Lianxi Temple fun?

Wuhan Lianxi Temple is a hidden nun with a long history and cultural background. It is a famous local Buddhist education base in Wuhan, attracting many Buddhist scholars from surrounding areas to study and exchange. This is an elegant and unique ethnic attraction. Below is a detailed introduction to Wuhan Lianxi Temple.

Yanhua University was established, and the Buddhist University continues to this day.

The history of Lianxi Temple was not only glorious in the feudal era, but also created many far-reaching traditions after the Republic of China. In 1928, under the auspices of a physical fitness master, Lianxi Temple raised funds to establish the famous Huayan University. During the school's run, famous teachers from various countries were often invited to give lectures on Buddhism, creating a strong Buddhist atmosphere.

From 1928 to 1931, Yanhua University in Lianxi Temple trained 30 disciples all over the world. It was the highest Buddhist institution in China at that time and was once known as the "Whampoa" of Buddhism. .

Lianxi Temple Yanhua University was founded more than 90 years ago. In fact, after the founding of New China, Lianxi Temple kept a low profile for a long time, and the situation did not improve until the reform and opening up.

In addition to large-scale renovations of the temple, Lianxi Temple restarted Buddhist education after the 1990s with the proposal and support of the host at the time. First, two Love Taoist training courses were opened in 1987, and then the Wuchang Buddhist College was restored in 1994. The previous training class was renamed as the Zhongni Department of Wuchang Buddhist College. After 2000, Lianxi Temple established a Dharma Assembly and became an institution of higher learning for Buddhism.

An ancient temple built in an old alley, the largest Buddhist temple in the city.

The address of Lianxi Temple is next to Xiongchu Avenue in the Second Ring Road of the city today, at the intersection of Xiongchu Avenue, Tingzi Bridge Road and Lianxi Road.

Although it is a downtown area, it is also an old alley area in the old city. There are many old buildings in the area with a high density between them. Additionally, old infrastructure gives the area a distinctly shabby look.

But compared with the old appearance of other residential buildings, the bright golden walls of Lianxi Temple are very conspicuous. It comes in through the alley and is suddenly built right in front of you. There is a sense of time and space confusion. There is also the Lianxi Temple community around the temple, which shows that the temple has a long history.

At present, Lianxi Temple has not vigorously promoted tourism, and its location is slightly hidden, so its popularity in the eyes of the general public is limited.

To the public, it is a temple with a hall and meditation room. The structure is rigorous and the layout is reasonable, but in fact, Lianxi Temple is not an ordinary temple. It is now the largest nun training temple in Wuhan. In recent years, Lianxi Temple has also held many Dharma conferences, which have a great influence in the industry.

The transportation to Lianxi Temple is very convenient, because it is located in the urban area of ??Wuhan, and the bus and subway are basically seamlessly connected. If you want to drive by yourself, go to the Second Ring Road after entering Wuhan and then exit at Dingziqiao Road.

After 2013, Lianxi Temple underwent large-scale renovations again, and the related buildings were revived. The editor went there once around 2014, but did not go in. I don't know why. According to friends, in addition to the buildings, there are several towering trees in the temple, all of which are more than 300 years old. They should not be found in the urban area.

Xiongchu Avenue outside Lianxi Hutong was actually quite wide before the BRT was built. At least you can find the temple gate in the alley by walking back and forth.

After the completion of the BRT, the viaduct completely blocked the view of the road, and the traffic volume on both sides of the road was significantly reduced. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient to take a detour from Dingziqiao Road and Lianxi 4th Road.
