If you travel to Jiujiang, you will find there is a famous Buddhist temple in China, which is very famous. The temple is Toringi. Tuolin Temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 384 AD. Visitors can see the king's temple after entering the mountain gate, in which the bell tower and drum tower can be seen on its left and right sides.
Tolin Temple has a history of more than 1600 years, and it is still one of the Buddhist temples with the most incense and pilgrims since ancient times. The entire Tolin Temple was built with its back to Lushan Mountain. Because it covers a relatively large area, it is grand in scale whether it is the King's Hall, the Ursa Major Hall or the Piandian Hall. Among them, in Tolingi, you can see many lotus ponds, among which the Qinglian Tower is the most spectacular.
Especially during the Fa Conference, you will find that the number of believers in Buddhist temples will increase. Most of these people come from all corners of the country, and some believers even come here by plane or high-speed rail from other cities to worship Buddha, or just to eat Buddhist food. Tolin Temple is a big temple, so visitors can choose to eat and live in it, but the rules in the temple must also be observed.
To fast in the temple, the monks, abbots and staff in the temple need to line up first, and then the staff in the temple are not allowed to talk during the meal. Moreover, the process of fast food has rules. You can't sit down casually, you must sit down in turn, and then each person carries two bowls, one for rice and the other for rice. If you eat, the staff in the temple will take turns to fill the meal. Among them, the main meaning is to educate the world to save food, while in temples, monks only eat two meals a day and don't eat at night.
Toringi's incense has been very strong, and people come at any time. In addition, Lushan City, where Tolin Temple is located, has a particularly tall Lindong Buddha, which is also a place where tourists love to punch in. The Giant Buddha is about 48 meters high, including 48 tons of gold. It can be said that it is the highest Amitabha Buddha in China and even in the world.
Walking in Toringi, we sometimes see some small animals, such as cute kittens. These kittens don't seem to be afraid of people, and sometimes they even like to rub up when they meet tourists. They look lovely. This scene is just similar to the Buddhist concept of equality of all beings. Friends, do you know Tolin Temple? Have you ever eaten vegetarian food here?
