Hangzhou | Out of the world's tenderness, eight parts lie in the gods' love for mankind

⛩ Before the end of March, all tourist attractions in Hangzhou are free🆓, so I followed the trend to climb a mountain and visit a temple. On the way to Faxi Temple, I just passed by Jingci Temple, so I decided to check in at this popular photo spot. 📷 After entering through the main gate, head towards the main hall. Enter the main hall and exit from the back door, then follow the stairs upwards. When you reach the high point inside the hall, looking out from the inside is the popular photo angle. Viewing the Leifeng Pagoda through the carved wooden door has its unique charm, without the wide-angle compression of the image, it seems a bit less impressive. ✏️ Tourist spot: Jingci Temple 📍 Address: No. 56 Nanshan Road

Jingci Temple in Hangzhou, Zhejiang - It's a fate to meet when the flowers are in bloom

Jingci Temple, located on the south bank of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, opposite Leifeng Tower, is one of the four ancient temples in the history of West Lake and one of the famous temples in China. Because the bell in the temple is loud, the 'Evening Bell at Nanping' has become one of the 'Ten Scenes of West Lake'. The temple is located under Huirifeng of Nanping Mountain in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It was built in 954 AD by Qian Hongchu of Wuyue State for the Zen master Yongming, originally named Yongming Zen Temple; it was renamed Jingci Temple during the Southern Song Dynasty and built the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats.

I recommend young people to go to Jingci Temple for incense

For young people who choose to burn incense in addition to work and school, I recommend Hangzhou Jingci Temple, which is less crowded, convenient, and famous! Nowadays, the social pressure is high, burning incense and worshiping Buddha is not only for the middle-aged and elderly, young people are also very enthusiastic.

Because it is opposite the Leifeng Tower, you can take pictures of the Leifeng Tower from many angles, and the distant Leifeng Tower has become its borrowed scenery. When you enter Jingci Temple, you will hear the bell of 'Nanping Evening Bell'. My son and I went to ring the bell together. Ringing the bell, eliminating troubles, and increasing wisdom. There are seven halls inside Jingci Temple, of course, the most impressive one is Jigong Hall. The renovated Jigong Courtyard has become a separate household in the south of the Yangtze River, with a pool garden in front, surrounded by walls, and the well of 'Ancient Well Transporting Wood' inside. The current temple is fundraising for expansion and renovation, and my son and I each donated a brick for a total of 60 yuan. My son received many blessings in the temple, and also accumulated blessings for the whole family. After worshiping Buddha and turning the corner, I met a high monk, holding a censer in his hand, wearing a hat on his head, and a yellow cassock floating... I saluted the master Climbing to the fourth hall, there is a newly opened 'Jingci Calligraphy and Painting Institute', where some Buddhist art works are exhibited.

Come to the thousand-year-old royal temple and see the divine well where Ji Gong transported wood

The thousand-year-old ancient temple, Jingci Temple, where you can listen to the 'Evening Bell at Nanping' and watch the 'Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset', was built by King Qian Chu of Wuyue for the eminent monk Yongming Yanshou. He once used treasury money to release lives, and later became the first abbot of Jingci Temple. Emperor Gaozong of Song decreed to change the Shouning Temple to 'Jingci Zen Temple', which has the reputation of 'Jingci in the South, Lingyin in the North'. The foodie Su Shi once brought prostitutes to challenge the temple, and Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong personally wrote the temple plaque. The famous temple produces eminent monks. Qian Hongchu once followed the will of Yanshou Zen master to 'return to the Song Dynasty after death'. Hongshou Zen master was praised by the world for his indifference to princes and nobles. Master Lianchi first initiated the trend of releasing lives here. The twice abbot, Rujing Zen master, advocated 'transmitting the mind with the mind, seeing the nature and becoming a Buddha', and was revered as the thirteenth patriarch of the Soto sect, and the Japanese Soto sect regarded him as the original tenant. Here is the 'Evening Bell at Nanping' sung by Fei Yuqing in his song, the Gandhara Buddhist Art Exhibition, and the ancient well relics of Jigong's divine wood transportation at Tianmu. There are two wells dug by Shitien Hoxun Zen master with his Zen stick, the Yongming Pagoda courtyard that enshrines the relics of Yongming Yanshou master, and the Rujing Zen master's pagoda that was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty. Nanping Mountain is rich in limestone, and Ge Ridge is igneous rock. The two resonate together, long and light, hence the 'Evening Bell at Nanping' is listed as one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. The bell is cast with the 'Lotus Sutra' written by Zhao Puchu and others. The beginning of Buddhist statues originates from the throbbing of the mind and the dependence of the spirit. The earliest clay Buddha found in Han area is the Shan Ye Buddha in the seated niche style of the first year of Xiao Chang of Northern Wei, and the three Buddha statues made by Hu Zhengxing in the eighth year of Datong of Western Wei. The Tang envoy brought the Shan Ye clay offering Buddha into Kyoto, and Thailand developed Buddha amulets. The ancient Gandhara Buddhist sculpture is based on the elegance of ancient Greece and the compassion of ancient India. You can either concentrate on appreciating the posture of the statue, or close your mind to seek the Zen joy of Buddha nature, or be shocked by the changes of the statue, or sigh at the illusion of the body. Choose a sunny day, scoop water to bathe the Buddha, pray for a blessing charm, watch the guardian pigeons dance, and find the appearance of the thousand-year-old royal temple Jingci Temple in the years. The treasure of the temple, the 'Agarwood' incense offering, the stone carving of Huiri Peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, Dong Qichang's book 'Diamond Sutra', and the 'Jingci Temple Abbot's Song of Ancient Stele' stele written by Emperor Qianlong. Walk from the south mountain to the north mountain, the world of red incense is a cool country.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty often visited this temple and wrote a book: enough to be thought-provoking! And cast a bell that warns the world, that is, the now famous Zhongguan night clock, which has been placed on the bell tower of the Tibetan King Bodhisattva. The architecture of the entire temple is beautiful, atmospheric and solemn. The centuries-old trees in the temple are all over the top, especially the centuries-old toon! On the left side of the Daxiong Hall in the monastery is the ancient well of the legendary Jigong Living Buddha transporting trees. Of course, it is true that it is still to be verified. Opposite the ancient well is the Tibetan Classical Pavilion. Those who like Buddhism can go there to get the Buddhist scriptures they need to read. Jingci Temple is also a historical monument in the West Lake Scenic Area. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was very popular. When the Qing Emperor Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, he personally came here to practice Zen. Also inscribed for the back mountain here, which is another alias of the net Ci Temple "Nan Ping Evening Bell". Perhaps compared with Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple is not very famous. However, it is very basic for the historical monuments of the West Lake. The people's hearts have become so fresh and quiet. The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty often visited this temple and wrote one: enough to be thought-provoking.

After the snow, the West Lake in Hangzhou is wrapped in silver and looks like a fairyland. In the early spring, the West Lake Baidi, two rows of neatly weeping willows gave birth to green shoots. The lotus leaves are infinitely beautiful, the lotus flowers in the day are different, and the West Lake is like a summer. The autumn colors of the West Lake are getting better and better, like the paint bucket that God has overturned. In the late autumn, the West Lake is hidden between red and yellow. If you can climb the Leifeng Pagoda in the fall, look at the Jingci Temple in the south, and the West Lake in the north, I think this must be the most dazzling autumn in Hangzhou.
