Wutai Mountain Spring checks in at Beijing Fayuan Temple

💧Wutai Mountain Spring💦 checks in ✔️ at Beijing Fayuan Temple 📍No. 7, Fayuan Temple Front Street, Xicheng District, Beijing Visit the millennium-old Fayuan Temple before the May Day holiday It rained yesterday, and today the road is crowded with people The temple is still quiet, making the trip worthwhile This year I missed the blooming period of lilacs and crabapples Fayuan Temple, originally named Minzhong Temple, was built for a hundred thousand loyal martyrs Inside the temple, the Hua Yan Three Saints and the Thousand-Handed Guanyin are worshipped There are also many exquisite ritual instruments to photograph The scale is not large, but it has witnessed many historical moments Having gone through the 'Wuzong's persecution of Buddhism' and the An Lushan Rebellion It is still preserved, and many righteous men have been exonerated here For example, Yuan Chonghuan from the late Ming Dynasty, Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong from the late Qing Dynasty Inside the Mahavira Hall, there is a plaque written by Emperor Qianlong, 'The True Source of the Dharma Sea' A million precepts are all 'flowing'; only a sincere heart is the 'source' At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperors Qin and Hui were also imprisoned here by the Jurchens The latter, while being held in Wuguocheng, Wrote the most desperate seven-character quatrain in history: 'All night the west wind breaks the door, desolate and lonely inn with a dim lamp. Looking back at the home mountain three thousand miles away, eyes fail to see any geese flying in the southern sky.' Fayuan Temple, half of Chinese history, is not without its tragic colors
