The Buddhist religion of the Yi people south of the General Buddha Temple of Xishuangbanna is not to be missed, and the Mahayana Buddhism taught in our Central Plains region is different in the interpretation of Dharma. Of course, the biggest difference I can feel when I wait for the vulgar people is from the temple built by the believers, a golden and magnificent, a red wall and green tile; a accession to the world, a hidden mountain forest; a faith in Sakya, a Buddha for all beings. 🌸 The General Buddha Temple was built in 615 AD and has a history of more than 1400 years. The founder is two high monks from Myanmar. It is one of the first big Buddha temples built in the territory after the introduction of South-Chinese Buddhism into Xishuangbanna. To understand the spread of Nanxan Buddhism in China, then the Zongfo Temple is a place that must be punched in 🙉. 🌈 Zongfo Temple is the highest-grade Buddhist temple in Xishuangbanna. According to the introduction before the temple, the name of the total Buddhist temple is Wabaji, 👍 "wa" means the temple, ✌️ "ba" means the forest, 👌 "ji" means the Buddha once spent 25 rains in Jitalin to the abbreviation of the Lonely Garden. ❄️ So "Wabaji" means: a beautiful and quiet forest road like Jitalin to the Lonely Garden. The origin of the name of the General Buddha Temple was Zhao Puchu, then president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, on June 18, 1990, when he visited the Nanchuan Buddhism work in Xishuangbanna, he was nominated for "Wabaji" as: Xishuangbanna General Buddha Temple 😏. 🙈 The magnificent General Buddha Temple we see today is naturally not the original Wabaji. For historical reasons, the General Buddha Temple has been completely destroyed. It was built once in 1989, rebuilt in 2009, and a grand switch ceremony was held on December 12, 2012. The newly built General Buddha Temple fully integrates the architectural characteristics and decorative arts of the Yi people, and also shows the concept of Buddhism in the South. It is not only a law to the world, but also one of the important Buddhist colleges in the upper ministry of Buddhism. ⚠️ Zongfo Temple Tour Guide: 🌇 Address: No. 18 Baji Road, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province 🏫 Open Hour: 8:00-17:00💰 Fee: Free 👉 Tour Time: 1 hour
