There is a less famous temple on the northern foot of Lushan in Jiangxi, but it is called the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect of Chinese Buddhism. It is said that it was founded by Buddhist master Huiyuan in 386 AD in the Eastern Jin period, and it has a history of more than 1,600 years. And this temple is Donglin Temple .

Nowadays, many things are full of falsehood, and all kinds of fakes and defrauding money are emerging one after another. The development of Buddhism in temples is no exception. I believe everyone has also seen many fake monks on the Internet, robbing Buddhist believers of money under various names such as monk temples and Buddhism. And the Donglin Temple we are going to talk about today is called the stupidest temple. Then let’s see where it is stupid?

Tickets are not expensive, eat vegetarian food at will, China's "most willful" temples refuse to enter

Donglin Temple was built with the characteristics of integrating with the local natural forest landscape. When ancient monks built the building, the buildings were interdependent with the terrain and woods between the mountains and forests, making the entire Donglin Temple's architectural halls, Buddhist altars, and space complement each other.

The bell and drum tower and the service area are connected to each other to form a spatial whole. In Donglin Temple, you can feel the integration of Buddhist buildings among the mountains and forests, and the integration of Buddha and buildings with the mountains and forests. When the wind blows in the mountains, you can feel that you are like a building in Donglin Temple, or a tree or a Buddha, which can make you feel that you are in the scene and forget the troubles of the outside world.

The most famous attraction is that there is a clear spring in the temple, called Clever Spring. According to legend, the famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yin Zhongkan, visited the master. When the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that the mountains and forests were green and the springs were gurgling. He listened to Quanshui talking about poetry and songs, and had a fierce discussion and literary debate on "The Book of Changes".

Two people are in full swing. The master praised the general's debate, which was so surging. So this spring is named as the Smart Spring. Later, after hearing this, Emperor Taizong of Tang , he wrote a letter to the Donglin Temple by hand to write. With the name given by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Cangmingquan became even more famous all over the world.

Nowadays, in addition to worshiping Buddha devoutly, tourists like to come to Cangming Spring to drink a sip of spring water. hopes that they will be smarter and embody people's beautiful yearning.

After drinking the spring water, you can also go and see the Six Dynasties Pine. There is an ancient pine in front of the Sanxiao Hall in Donglin Temple. Legend has it that this was planted by Master Huiyuan himself. The ancient pine grows in a mixed manner, just like an old man guarding the temple in the mountains and forests. It is the same age as the temple and has a history of more than 1,600 years.

so it is also praised by tourists as the number one pineapple in Lushan. This pine tree also witnessed the growth of the temple and it is said that it has become human nature over time. According to legend, during the prosperous period of the temple, the ancient pine also grew lushly. If the temple did not develop well, the ancient pine also had sparse leaves. Does it sound very magical? The ancient pines must grow prosperously now, after all, there are endless people going to Donglin Temple.

It’s such a temple with outstanding people. How much does the ticket cost? The answer is that you don't have money. Yes. No money. This is why Donglin Temple is called the stupidest temple. Not only does it cost money, but there is also free vegetarian meal for tourists and worshippers.
