This article looks at Toringi from the perspective of tourists.

When traveling to Jiujiang, at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain, there is a famous Buddhist temple in China, which is very, very famous. This is the Tolin Temple in Jiujiang.

In the 9th year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (384), Tolin Temple was founded by Hui Yuan in Lindong, and Hui Yuan founded Pure Land Sect here. Entering the mountain gate is the King Temple, with a bell tower and a drum tower on the left and right. Because of the visit from June 5438 +2020 10, many buildings in the temple are still being improved. Even so, there are still many believers.

Tolin Temple has a history of 1600 years, and it is still one of the most prosperous Buddhist temples. Pure Land Sect specializes in Amitabha, the founder of Western Elysium. Pure land Sect is one of the great Han Buddhism in 10, also known as Lotus Sect. Amitabha holds lotus flowers, and is also one of the more believers in Buddhism.

The entire Tolin Temple is backed by the southern foot of Lushan Mountain and faces the censer peak, covering a huge area. Whether it is the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, or some partial halls, the scale is very grand. Lotus ponds can be seen everywhere in Toringi, especially the Violet Tower.

Because it just happened to catch up with the Fa Conference, there were many believers in the Buddhist temple, all from all corners of the country. Many believers flew from other provinces and high-speed trains to worship Buddha and fast. Tolin Temple is a relatively large temple, so they can stay in the temple for more than 7 days, eat and live in the temple, and the rules in the temple must be observed.

This is also my first time to attend a formal temple lent. First of all, the monks, abbots and staff in the temple finished fasting, and then the believers lined up in turn to use fasting, keeping silent during the period. There are rules for fasting etiquette. After sitting down in turn, one person has two bowls, one bowl holds vegetables and one bowl holds rice, and the workers take turns to hold rice. If it's not enough, push the bowl to the edge of the table, put your finger into the bowl, more or less, and rinse the dishes with boiling water after eating. Drink it all at once and never waste it.

Therefore, enjoying a vegetarian meal in Turin is definitely a great experience in life. Even tourists should abide by the etiquette rules of Buddhist temples. It is not easy to know a grain of rice, and after eating it, I am moved to convert. Monks only have two meals a day and don't eat at night.

Not far from Toringi, there is also a Selingi. Sairinji and Torinji are only 100 meters apart, but it is a Buddhist temple suitable for retreat. At present, there are only monks inside. Torinji fragrance is undoubtedly the most exuberant. In Lushan City, where Tolin Temple is located, there is also a giant Buddha in Lindong, which is 48 meters high and covered with 48 tons of gold. It is the highest Amitabha Buddha in the world, and the Buddhist temple where Lindong Buddha is located is also a large-scale temple.

In Tolin Temple, there are many small animals, people and animals, living in harmony, in line with the Buddhist concept of equality of all beings.
