The most unique temple in China, tickets and meals are free, but this kind of people are not allowed to enter

One flower one world, one leaf one Bodhi. There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are also rich and colorful things. It is these people and things that make up our wonderful world. Religion is an indispensable component of today's society. People gain faith in religious activities and make their spiritual life more full and fulfilling. In history, all kinds of religious buildings and religious culture are the rich cultural heritage left by the predecessors to future generations. Next, I will introduce a very unique Buddhist temple.

Buddhism originated in ancient India, and Sakyamuni followed thousands of times, and enlightened under the bodhi tree. Today, Buddhism has become one of the largest religions in the world, with tens of millions of believers. Since Buddhism was introduced into China, it has made considerable progress in China, and Buddhist temples have spread all over the country, each with its own characteristics.

The temple I want to talk about today is Donglin Temple. Donglin Temple is located on the east side of Xilin Temple in Jiangxi Province. It has a unique location and a beautiful environment. Unlike other Buddhist temples that charge tickets and charge for incense, Donglin Temple has a pure pursuit of Buddhism. Here, people can visit temples without tickets, and taste vegetarian meals without spending money.

It is free to enter the temple, and it is also free to eat vegetarian meals. Of course, such a good treatment cannot really be without conditions. However, most people don't understand the reason for this condition, and they don't know where it came from. They only know that Donglin Temple has a regulation that has been handed down in the long history, that is, tourists wearing short clothes and short sleeves are not allowed to enter. People who know this rule are willing to abide by it even though they don't understand it, because obeying the rule is to show respect to the Buddha. Therefore, even in the hot summer, people still wear long clothes and long sleeves to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, which is very pious.

Now there are not many temples like this in China. Those with a little bit of fame have to charge entrance fees, and some temples are only commercially operated for the sole purpose of making money. Nowadays, it is rare to have a Buddhist holy place that can not forget the original intention and is free for us to visit and admire. We should cherish it even more. Although the area of ​​Donglin Temple is not particularly large, as long as there is sincerity, the Buddha will definitely be able to hear our inner voice.
