Donglin Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Donglin Temple is located at the west foot of Lushan Mountain. It is the birthplace of Jingshizong. It was founded by Huiyuan, a famous oriental monk in the Jin Dynasty, in the ninth year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (384 AD), more than 1,600 years ago. It is connected by rafters and towers, with bright colors and blue reflections. "Its scale is huge, and it is called the residence of ten thousand monks." It is one of the eight great places of Buddhism in China. In the Tang Dynasty, Donglin Temple was very prosperous. The monk Jingjianzhen traveled east to Japan to teach and teach, and the teachings of Huiyuan and Donglin were also introduced to Japan. It is said that Japan's "East Forest Religion" originated from this. In history, Donglin Temple has made contributions to the cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and Nepal, China and India, and China and Japan. The south of the temple is surrounded by thousands of green screens, and there is a clear stream in front of the temple. Huxi detours to the west, and there is a stone arch bridge across the creek. This is the place where the story of "Three Smiles in Tiger Creek", which is a favorite in the cultural history of our country, happened - "Huxi Bridge". Crossing the Huxi Bridge and heading north for about 100 meters is the first mountain gate of Donglin Temple. The stone inscription "Jinjian Donglin Temple" is hung upright on the mountain gate. On the west hill of Donglin Temple, there is the tomb pagoda of Huiyuan, the ancestor of the "Pure Land Sect" of Eastern Buddhism - "Lychee Pagoda". Countless literati and writers have left famous articles in Donglin Temple and Xilin Temple, such as Bai Juyi's chanting "Donglin Temple, White Lotus" and Lu You's "Inscription on the West Forest Wall". Donglin Temple is one of the founding places of Pure Land Buddhism on a much larger scale. Xilin Temple was once abandoned, but now it has been rebuilt except for the Thousand Buddha Pagoda. When you go to Donglin Temple, you must go to the smart spring behind the temple to drink the smart spring water, and climb the tower of the back mountain.

At the foot of Lushan Mountain, it is the least commercial temple I have ever seen, and must like it! There are free books and lectures!
Very suitable for coming with friends on weekends, have a happy weekend! I also recommend everyone to come.
Donglin Temple is an important Buddhist temple. The ancestral court of Jingtu Zong. The Big Buddha can be seen from a long distance. It is recommended to go to Lushan to see it. The tickets are free. No one will make you donate. It is all voluntary. There is no ticket to go in and visit. There are many temples at the foot of the mountain. Many Bodhisattvas and Luohan are very comprehensive. If you want to see the Big Buddha, you can go up the mountain. If you go up, please take the stone steps and leave the wooden steps to the monks. You can walk to the corridor on the left for fear of the sun. There is also a free place to ask for visas halfway up the mountain.
