Introduction of Lingyin Temple Scenic Spot
Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located at the foot of Lingyin Mountain in the west of West Lake. The quiet environment in the temple is the earliest famous temple in Hangzhou, which has preserved many exquisite cultural relics of different dynasties. This is the place where Jigong became a monk. It is said that prayer is very effective, pilgrims come to worship Buddha, and people pray in an endless stream every day.
After 1700 years of wind and rain, Lingyin Temple has become a treasure house of history and culture: The Monument to Yunlin Temple inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty hangs on the Tianwang Temple; The stone pagodas in front of Ursa Major Hall and Tianwang Hall are the remains of Wu Yueshi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The relics in the temple are precious treasures such as the ancient Bayeux Sutra, the gilded Buddha statue in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Diamond Sutra in Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty, and the carved dragon in Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Lingyin Temple is also a temple where Taoist priests of Jigong became monks. A Buddha statue, a broken fan in the right hand, a rosary in the left hand, and a right foot resting on the altar dedicated to the Taoist Zen master's temple, is the statue of Jigong.
Lingyin Temple is backed by Beifeng and faces Feilai Peak. Although Feilai Peak is not high, there are many grotesque caves on the mountain, and there are more than 340 Buddhist grottoes statues since the Five Dynasties. It is a rare artistic treasure in ancient grottoes in southern China. Temples are full of incense all year round, especially in the first day, the tenth five-year plan or the heyday of Buddhism. Good men and women come from all directions. A sea of people.
