Faxi Temple | A single sentence awakens so many people

Young people, between working and advancing, of course choose to offer incense! Hangzhou's two most famous temples → Lingyin Temple (career/almighty) Faxi Temple (peace/marriage) The two temples are very close to each other, and you can visit them together. If you're just taking pictures and strolling around, Faxi Temple is even more recommended. Compared to Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple, it doesn't have a large flow of people, but it's very popular with young people nowadays. It's said that most people who come to Faxi Temple are seeking marriage blessings. The temple architecture is very distinctive, with yellow walls and green tiles. Faxi Temple became popular for photo check-ins, with many internet-famous spots that really make it easy to take great pictures. 'Do not seek externally'—how many people have been awakened by these four words? 'Do not seek externally' certainly means not to seek external ways, but more importantly, it means to 'seek' within one's own heart, to wish to do all good deeds, to wish to eliminate all evil, to strive to improve one's cultivation, and to accumulate one's own blessings. Copywriting share: Sincerity brings spirituality. A prayerful wish will come true. -At Faxi Temple on Mount Tianzhu, Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done! May all go smoothly without mishap, and may all wishes be fulfilled. -A pure land, three sticks of incense. -Do not seek externally, but seek from the heart. -Do not seek externally, happiness is in Faxi. -May the gods favor you, and may all be joyful. In the early morning, enter the ancient temple, as the first rays of sun shine upon the tall forest. -Between working and advancing, chose to offer incense. A thousand scenes are like illusions, stepping into the monastery to worship with incense. -Seeking the divine in the mountains and tea seas, amidst the ups and downs of the world, one desires the joy of Faxi. -Green water and green mountains in search of ancient temples, morning bells and evening drums ferry the mortal heart. -When you can't rely on yourself anymore, you can only rely on the blessings of the heavens! -Yellow walls and grey tiles, red silk prayers, all are the silent heart of the empty mountain. -I asked the Bodhisattva why we met, the Bodhisattva said it was fate, it was destined. I asked the Buddha if we were fated, the Buddha said we were not, I asked for fate, the Buddha said it costs money. -I light high incense to honor the gods, to quell the unrest in my heart, before the gods there's no lack of three sticks of incense, in life there's more than a myriad of sorrows, I wish to express the autumn wind's parting sentiment, to scatter the unrest in my heart. Ticket price: Buy on-site for 10r and get three sticks of incense Time: 6:00-18:00 Transportation: Take the bus → Mount Tianzhu·Faxi Temple Warm tips: Photography: No photography inside the hall and of the Buddha statues! Dress: New Chinese style/Cheongsam/Hanfu/plain colors are more photogenic Don't dress too revealingly (short skirts, shorts, tank tops), if you do, you'll need to wear an apron! Etiquette: Do not step on the threshold, do not make noise inside the temple! Companions: Faxi Temple only supports rightful relationships, couples who go might break up. Mosquito prevention: Faxi Temple has lush vegetation, be sure to bring mosquito spray or floral water, otherwise, you'll end up like me, with several bites! Weather: Although there are forests for shade, it's still very hot and sunny, and it might rain, so it's best to bring an umbrella according to the weather.
