The most unique temple in China, tickets for vegetarian meals are free, but such people are not allowed to enter

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

Buddhism originated in ancient India, and Sakyamuni followed thousands of people, and once attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Today, Buddhism has become one of the largest religions in the world, with tens of millions of adherents. Since the introduction of Buddhism into China, it has developed by leaps and bounds in China, and Buddhist temples are also spread all over the motherland, 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. Unlike other Buddhist temples that charge tickets and charge for incense, Donglin Temple has a purely Buddhist pursuit. Here, people can visit temples without tickets, and fast food can be tasted without spending money.

It is free to enter the temple, and it is free to eat fast food. Of course, such a good treatment cannot really be without any conditions. However, most people do not understand why this condition is passed down, and they do not know where it came from. They only know that there is a rule in the long history of Donglin Temple that has been passed down all the time, that is, tourists wearing short clothes and short sleeves are not allowed to enter. Although people who know this rule are not familiar with it, they are very happy to abide by 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 religious.

There are not many temples like this in China now. Those with a little reputation will charge tickets, and some temples are only operated commercially, all for the sake 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 pay homage to. 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.
