What are the modes of transportation in Guangfo Temple?
Guangfu Temple, formerly known as Guangfujiao Temple and commonly known as East Temple, is located in Ming Dow Village, the northeast suburb of Hai 'an Town. The temple faces the Xintongyang Canal in the south, the tombs of Fengshan and Mr. Han in the southwest, the planned Fengshan Park covering tens of acres in the west, the beautiful Zishi Middle School in the northeast and the broad Fengshan Avenue in the east. In addition, the Fengshan stove, one of the top ten scenic spots in Hai 'an, the solemn morning bell and evening drum in the temple and the elegant and unique surrounding environment make Guangfu Temple an excellent place for feng shui in Hai 'an.
Guangfu Temple is located in the north of Hanfu, adjacent to its rest garden. According to historical records, the temple was first built by general Wei Chibaolin, son of Weichi Gong, Duke of Hubei Province, in the 20th year of Tang Zhenguan (646). Ding Jing was expanded in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt by Lushun, the magistrate of Zhejiang Province, in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. Together with the _ Tree Zen Forest (West Temple) in West Street, it is a famous jungle temple in Dongxiang, Taizhou. In 35 years of the Republic of China (1946), due to the war, some temples were demolished, but the Daxiong Hall still existed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was once the middle school library of Hai 'an County. In the 1980s, in order to strengthen the protection of ancient buildings, Hai 'an County People's Government announced the Daxiong Hall as a county-level cultural relics protection unit, and re-planned the new site for Guangfu Temple in 1992. At the same time, a huge sum of money was allocated to build Daxiong Hall by Wuxi Ancient Architecture Company. According to the principle of unified planning and design and phased implementation, this ancient temple will be rebuilt into a famous temple with considerable scale in central Jiangsu Province. The national religious policy has been implemented, and the freedom of religious belief of the broad masses of religious believers and Buddhist believers has been guaranteed.
The entrance to the rebuilt Guangfu Temple was inscribed by Zhao Puchu, the late president of the Chinese Buddhist Association and vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On the alunite, a gold-plated Chinese character shines, which is the treasure of the town temple. Wang Tianxiang, president of Hai 'an Buddhist Association, wrote "solemn land, happiness and affection" on the oblique khaki walls on both sides of the three gates of Buddhist monks, making the gates look solemn. There is a smiling Maitreya Buddha at the entrance of the mountain, and the column holds a couplet "How many famous people in mountains and rivers wake up at dusk and morning bell and call back the dreamer in the boundless sea of suffering through the sound of Buddha's name".
Stepping into Danyong, I saw the East Bell Tower and the West Drum Tower facing each other. The bell tower belongs to the Bodhisattva Dizang, and the drum tower belongs to the Bodhisattva Galand (that is, Guan Yunchang). The Bell Tower and Drum Tower were recommended by Yuan Yin, a master of Longhua Temple in Shanghai, and Chen Hanchu, a Hong Kong layman, donated 600,000 yuan to build them. The second entrance hall is the Heavenly King Hall, with Guanyin statue in the south and Wei Tuo statue as the protector on the back. On both sides are four tall and majestic kings, meaning "good weather". Chen Wanfen's family donated 300,000 yuan to build this temple.
Passing through Tianwangtang, a three-story ten thousand-year-old treasure stands in the center of the tunnel, simple and exquisite, which was cast by Shanxin Yao Jinbo family at 1996 with an investment of 80,000 yuan. Climbing the 8 steps, you will find the Daxiong Hall with upturned cornices and double roofs. This hall is square and covers an area of 250 square meters. The temple forehead comes from the late vice president of the National Buddhist Association, the president of the Jiangsu Buddhist Association and the abbot of Zhenjiang Jiaoshan Temple, Master Mingshan. There are 12 thick round wooden columns in the main hall, six of which are precious nanmu, and all the columns are padded with white stone drums. There are three saints in the center of the temple, including Buddha, Manjusri Bodhisattva in the east and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the west. There are eighteen arhats on both sides with different expressions. The calligraphy couplet with pillars in the main hall, "Hua Zang is solemn and immortal, and Kun Lu Xinghai feels at home everywhere in the dharma circle", was inscribed by Master Ming, the late vice president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and abbot of Shanghai Longhua Temple. There is a group portrait of "Island Guanyin" on the back of Hua Yan's three sages. Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva stood on Aoyu's head with a pure bottle of willow, and the clouds stirred the waves, rising into the air and turning around nine times. Hundreds of lifelike immortal Buddha statues are spread all over the island, gilded with gold and inlaid with jade, which shines brilliantly.
The fourth entrance is the Tibetan Scripture Building. The abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang wrote a plaque on the boat. There are many Buddhist scriptures stored upstairs, including a precious Tibetan sutra and a jade Buddha statue of Sakyamuni presented by Master Yongxing of Hong Kong West Temple. A row of wings on the east side set up a Jade Buddha Hall, dedicated to a reclining Buddha presented by Burmese Buddhists, as well as a Guanyin Hall, a Buddha chanting hall and guest rooms. In the west, there are the Dizang Hall, Gongde Hall, guest rooms and the office of Hai 'an Buddhist Association. In the northeast corner of the temple, a releasing pond, a winding bridge corridor and a pavilion in the pond with an area of about two mu of water surface have been excavated, and the greening of Chi Pan has been planned and constructed. To the south of the release pond, there is a three-in-one compartment with a five-view hall and a room for monks to eat and live. The whole temple is indeed an excellent place for Buddhist children to practice, and good men believe in women.
A famous monk was born in a temple. At that time, Miao Yi, Yan Guang, Shensi and other masters all worked as abbots in Guangfu Temple. Master Song Nian, the first-generation senior monk in Singapore and the former abbot of Bodhi Pavilion,/kloc-practiced here with Yimiao Yi when he was 0/6 years old. 1950 traveled to Malaysia and settled in Singapore. Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore visited Japan and presented Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Nakasone with the huge word "Shou" inscribed by Master Songnian.
