The criterion for considering a temple is whether the incense in this temple is strong or not. With the continuous development, such as Lingyin Temple in Zhejiang, it has now become a scenic spot, and incense is indeed constant, but more tourists just come to play and burn incense, and few people come to burn incense for Lingyin Temple. However, there is such a temple in Zhejiang, which is called "Southeast Buddhist Country". Buddhism has a very high status, and tourists and monks are in an endless stream. Everyone comes here to burn incense, which is the most indispensable temple.

This temple is Tiantong Temple. Every day is filled with incense. Proposing marriage for money is a small scene. In temples, more monks or monks from other places or even abroad come here, not for other reasons, but for learning! Tiantong Temple, located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, has a history of 1700 years. It was built in the Western Jin Dynasty, and is one of the five famous Buddhist temples.

Zen Buddhism is also known as a Buddhist Sect, because it is a Sect that focuses on meditation, spiritual training, spiritual training, meditation and learning Buddhism from the heart. Different from other practitioners of Mahayana Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism, Zen mainly has no method of cultivating the mind, which is more like the charm of Taoism. Maybe it is really influenced by Taoism. Zen pays attention to epiphany, relies on its own thinking, specializes in Buddhism and walks out of its own way. This is Zen. Therefore, Zen has a far-reaching influence on later generations, so that many overseas Buddhists have been affected.

As a famous Zen temple, Tiantong Temple has been stationed by many monks since ancient times, and it still produces a steady stream of monks. These people are extremely proficient in Buddhism and accept the thinking of other foreign Zen disciples. Any Buddhist disciple is welcome to study here. It is also for this reason that Tiantong Temple is a rare temple in Zhejiang with free admission. Many people made a special trip to Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, just for Tiantong Temple, in order to get an epiphany and get inspiration.

In addition to Buddhism and Buddhist attainments, Tiantong Temple is also one of the five famous mountains of Zen, with extremely beautiful scenery. The whole temple covers an area of more than 76,400 square meters, with 999 temples, pavilions and residences, with a construction area of only 38,800 square meters. Other places are used in temples, or for retreat, or for planting plants, or for sightseeing and so on.

On the other hand, Taibai Mountain, where mountains overlap, has many peaks. It seems that the whole temple is wrapped up, left, right and left. Spring is lush and snowy everywhere in winter. If there are many tourists, strong incense and rising clouds in the temple, it will be like a fairyland.

Everything in Tiantong Temple is as old as ever. When you step into it, it's like stepping into an ancient temple with blue lanterns. In a trance, did these monks live in ancient times The trend of thought in Tiantong Temple is constant, just like writing a paper in our university. Up to now, the monks in Tiantong Temple are still studying Buddhism like a university and expressing their understanding of Zen. Maybe that's why so many people are willing to come here to worship.

Now Buddhism is impetuous, and few serious temples can be as sophisticated as before, not for profit, but for research and development. Perhaps it is Tiantong Temple that has not lost its tradition and can be recognized by Buddhism and nicknamed "Southeast Buddhist Country".
