Speaking of Buddhism, I believe most people will think of Bodhisattvas. As we all know, Buddhism is not a traditional religion in China, but in some Western places, India is regarded as the birthplace of Buddhism, and India is also trying hard to create this cultural atmosphere.
When did Buddhism emerge in our country? According to historical data, Buddhism has been spread to our country in in the Han Dynasty. After a long period of time and its development, Buddhist temples in China have now spread throughout the country. As a pure land of Buddhism, temples are originally a pure land, but due to the rapid development of tourism and commerce, many temples are shrouded in a strong commercial atmosphere. But what I want to talk about now is the only free temple in the country. Where is it? This temple is located in Jiangxi Province, it is Donglin Temple .
In ancient China, this was the core of southern Buddhism. Even famous figures such as Tao Yuanming , Su Dongpo , Bai Juyi all have deep roots and profound cultural heritage with them, and have become one of the important temples in the country. The largest Buddha in Donglin Temple has spent billions of funds and used more than fifty kilograms of gold.
However, Donglin Temple does not charge any fees. Compared with those temples that focus on interests, Donglin Temple can better demonstrate the Buddhist truth that "everyone is equal". Whether poor or rich people can visit and burn incense for free here.
However, there is a kind of person who cannot enter, either wearing a T-shirt and a skirt, or intimate actions in the temple, which is strictly prohibited by the temple. But the editor believes that this kind of prohibition is also understandable, because this is the Pure Land of Buddhism, which can make the people peaceful and peaceful. I agree with this kind of prohibition. What do you think?
