Tianning Temple

Seeking success in the earliest monasteries in the founding era of Beijing has always liked to visit ancient temples everywhere, not because of religious belief, but because of the history and culture of the ancient monasteries, and the ancient buildings and quiet environment in the monasteries are also very attractive; But today, Tianning Temple is indeed "something to ask" - today is to seek career. They all say that the two monasteries in Beijing are the most spiritual, one is the Reclining Buddha Temple and the other is Tianning Temple. However, the Reclining Buddha Temple is because the name of the temple and the "offer" homonym. This is really far-fetched. The Reclining Buddha Temple was built in Tang Zhenguan. During the Tang Dynasty, English was far from popular today. When is the Buddha should also speak Sanskrit? And Tianning Temple blessing the cause is a long-standing saying, it is said that in the old times, the province into Beijing as an official or business, usually first to Tianning Temple worship Buddha to protect. Tianning Temple was built in the Yanxing period (471-476) of the Xiaowen Emperor of Northern Wei Dynasty, then called "Guanglin Temple", one of the oldest monasteries in Beijing, and there are the tallest secret brick towers in Beijing, built during the Liao Dynasty. During the Renshou period of the Sui Dynasty (602), the name of the Guanglin Temple was changed to the Temple of the Suiye Temple. It is rumored that the Emperor Wendi did not call the emperor. An Indian monk sent him a bag of Sheri. After he ascended to the throne of God, he was distributed to the 30 states of the Central Plains during the Renshou period to build a tower secret. Tianning Temple is one of them. The tower was first built as a wooden tower. During the Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty (712), the temple was renamed Tennoji, and the wooden tower built in the dynasty was destroyed. The Tianyi Emperor Tianqing in the Liao Dynasty was built from nine years to ten years (1119-1120), and the eight corners of the thirteen-story Sheli brick tower was built in the temple. It took ten months to build the tower. The shape of the tower was taken from the scripture of Huayanjing. The tower was built by the uncle of the emperor Yeluxury, which was later only called the emperor for three months. The tower became the only memorial to this short-lived dynasty. The Jin Dynasty Dingdu Beijing, that is, Jinzhongdu, Tennoji is the only big temple in the imperial city, so it was built more brilliantly in Jin Shizong and Jinzhangzong, and was renamed Dawan'an Temple. In the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Tianning Temple was destroyed in the army and fire with the luxurious Jinzhong, only the orphan tower. In the first year of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Ying ordered the reconstruction of the temple and the expansion of the temple. Yao Guangxiao retired and moved to Tianning Temple, living in the Zongshifu in the northwest corner of Tianning Temple. The Ming Xuande Decade (1435), the place officially changed its name to Tianning Temple, the Ming Zhengde Decade (1515), Jiajing three years (1524) two times to repair Tianning Temple, the end of the Ming Tianning Temple was destroyed. The tower collapsed in the early Qing Dynasty, and the Tianning Temple was rebuilt in Kangxi in 21 years (1682), and the Qing Qianlong in 21 years (1756) and 47 years (1782) were rebuilt twice. The scale of Tianning Temple is not large now. After the mountain gate hall, there are bell and drum towers on both sides, and the north is the reception hall. The temple is dedicated to the golden silk teak wood-based Amitabha reception statue. There is a Qianlong monument in front of the hall. This central location is a fragrant stove for incense. The incense is very strong. There are three pillars of incense here. Then to the temple to worship Buddha, by the way, scan the code to donate 66 yuan, the donation box stated that this is "for disaster relief"; after the temple is the tower courtyard.

One of the cold gate attractions in Beijing, if you don't see the introduction of the public account, you can't think of going, and you have almost all the big attractions to go, and finally I want to find a quiet place to walk. Tianning Temple has a long history and deep cultural heritage. The ancient tower is really amazing. There is a sense of solemnity after baptism after years. Every sculpture on the tower is worth savoring. It is a pity that the air became a bit bad in the second two days in Beijing, catkins flying all over the sky, nose and ears were itchy, plus the sultry weather, which was somewhat disappointing.

Tianning Temple, a temple in Xicheng District, Beijing, not far from the West Second Ring Road, there is Beijing West Railway Station nearby. The location of the temple is a bit remote, parking is not convenient, but the temple is full of incense, Amitabha.

[View] On the coldest day in Beijing, the sky is blue and the tiles are blue, the stone tower is particularly layered, quiet, and there are few people, so I can quietly watch the pagoda and listen to the sound of the wind bells. It has been a long time since I heard such a quiet sound. [Fun] Praying around the tower [Cost-effective] only need to make an appointment on the applet "Beijing Religious Place Reservation", free attractions.
