In today's society, Buddhism and Taoism are mixed together, and people can't tell which is a Buddhist, which is a bodhisattva, which is a Taoist fairy and which is a Confucian master. As soon as they saw the temple, they began the so-called worship ceremony. Now we only talk about Buddhism. The earliest original teachings of Buddhism did not say that all beings are equal. Everyone has a Buddha in his heart, which is called compassion. More than kneeling on the ground is the worship and worship of the Buddha.

Guanghua Temple in Nanshan is the first of the three Buddhist demonstration temples in China, which was founded by Master Yuan Qian. As we all know, Master Hongyi first became a monk in Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou, and practiced Pure Land Sect. He once worshipped Master Yin Guang, the thirteenth ancestor of Pure Land Sect, as a teacher in Fayu Temple in Putuo Mountain. Later, Master Hongyi found that the "pure land" was impure, and impure phenomena often appeared among monks in society, such as those who ring bells for a living, and many people agreed with this situation.

In order to take Buddhism seriously, Master Hongyi put pressure on himself and decided to carry forward the Buddhism and rebuild the precepts as his own responsibility and change the dharma. Hony devoted himself to the study of Nanshan Laws, and wrote Four Points Laws, A Brief Introduction to Nanshan Laws at Home and Records of Nanshan Laws, which have been collected by Sanzang.

Speaking of legalism, its actual founder is Daoxuan in the Tang Dynasty. Because Daoxuan lived in Zhong Nanshan, he was called Nanshan Legalist School or Nanshan School. Named after its emphasis on learning and spreading precepts, it is one of the Buddhist sects in China. Everyone likes to add Nanshan in front of Guanghua Temple. In addition to Guanghua Temple, which is located in Fenghuang Mountain in Putian, it seems to have a lot to do with the Buddhist Sect of Buddhism pursued by monks.

The construction of Taoist style and style of study is the cornerstone of the prosperity and development of Taoist temple, and Master Yuan Qian was taught and influenced by the master. Therefore, the temple implements a strict discipline system for monks. It is also the temple where Fujian Buddhist College is located. Although its reputation is not as good as that of Nanputuo in Xiamen and Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, in the eyes of monks, Guanghua Temple is a pure Buddhist temple in the Han Dynasty and an institution of higher learning worthy of in-depth study.

Walking in the temple, you will carefully find that there is only one incense burner in front of each main hall, with a basket of incense beside it, and a warm reminder card that says: Please worship Buddha with three incense sticks. There are many rules and regulations, including not taking pictures of Bodhisattva. People will feel its uniqueness when they look at it. After the visit, you will feel the tranquility of Guanghua Temple, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, accompanied by pilgrims and monks. Although you can't see the crowded scene in front of Guandi Temple, there is only the sound of reading in a China youth class not far away, but you will feel inner peace and stability.

As we all know, Xinghua Mansion has eight points and eight points, which was praised by predecessors as "ten rooms and nine study rooms, and Longmen is half a day away". Zheng Sanxian Temple in the temple is a place to commemorate three famous Confucian brothers Lu Zheng, who built this temple on the ground. There is a plaque in the temple, which seems to prove that Xinghua House has a deep origin in promoting education from ancient times to the present. Looking at today's political arena, Putian officials are also the stars on the list.
