How fun is Xinchang Buddhist Temple? How much does the ticket to Xinchang Buddhist Temple cost?

My hometown is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, which can be regarded as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. You can see such a scene of small bridges and flowing water within a few steps outside, but this scene is normal for the Jiangnan area. What I want to introduce to you today is the Great Buddhist Temple in Xinchang, my hometown. Many people place their hopes here. My mother often took me there when I was a child, and I often took my mother there when I grew up.

The first time I went to the Great Buddha Temple, my parents rewarded me with 20 yuan. I came with the sister-in-law of a good friend of my parents. By the release pond, I rode a white horse to take photos and prayed with my hands in front of the Buddha.

A few years later, I was admitted to a high school in the county. I often walked several kilometers to enter the Great Buddha Temple from all directions.

The Dafo Temple is famous for its Big Buddha. It started during the Yonghe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a long history. It is the permanent spiritual sustenance and local pride of the villagers.

Every festival, many foreign tourist groups come here to visit. There are so many tourists, the incense is prosperous, and it is lively and grand.

The Big Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Reclining Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Thousand Buddhas, and Manjushri Bodhisattva respond to people's prayers, solemnly and kindly.

Bamboo groves, bird songs, trails, ancient trees, grottoes and leisure pools are soothing.

Now, my mother goes to the Buddhist Temple every month to burn incense and pray for us, while also keeping fit. Sometimes, her friends would even invite her to the Grand Buddha Temple to listen to them sing.

The Big Buddha, in the embrace of Qingshan, protects us with love.

In modern society, material desires are rampant, people are impetuous, and troubles abound.

It should be noted that Buddhism is not far away, and life should be light and simple.

Throughout the ages, Sancheng sages, with their wisdom and practice,

For us, they embody the true meaning of "everyone is empty and does not seek anything outside".

Ancient Principles and Methods

The road is paved with green stone slabs and has winding corridors along the mountain. One side of the winding corridor is a smooth stone wall, and the other side is a high palace wall. People's footsteps fall on the stone road in order, creating the rhythm of stones.

Free Living Pond

< p>The "release pool" is like a flawless jade, everything seems so peaceful and subtle. On the green willow stars, the branches are scattered, reflecting the ripples and blue waves, which is charming and charming.

Bieyuan

Cave

The waterfall falls from the sky with a drop of about 50 meters and is divided into seven levels. It symbolizes the long Buddhist culture.

Sitting at the bottom of the valley, looking at the surrounding wall sculptures and listening to the roar of the waterfall, is really a very pleasant thing.

At this moment, there is Zen in my heart and Zen in my eyes. I don't know why our predecessors were liberated, but when will we realize it.

Lotus Pond

There were also many petitioners standing on the lotus pond, unwilling to leave for a long time.

The lotus comes out of the mud without being stained, and it keeps itself clean. Buddhist teachings believe that the real world is a piece of filthy mud, while Buddhism allows people like Lotus to be free from pollution and achieve a peaceful and refined state.

The lotus pond and the clear water petals of the lotus seem to say that there is a Buddha in the heart, and the Buddha flows into the heart. May this lotus pond water wash away all your worries and your dusty journey.

Every once in a while, I will come with my mother. After I come, my mother will feel much better. I think it's ok. Everyone should have their own beliefs in their hearts, just like those Tibetan pilgrims who traveled to Tibet. As long as they have faith in their hearts, hope will always exist. At least in their eyes, such a world is beautiful. Isn't this a good thing? Mom can come out to exercise, breathe the fresh mountain air, and talk about her depression. I think it's pretty good.
