Marriage in four temples in China

The four major marriage proposal temples in China are Lingyin Temple, Hongluo Temple, Sansheng Temple and Guangji Temple.

Lingyin Temple 1

Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, facing the North Peak and Feilai Peak. Built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it covers an area of about 87,000 square meters. Lingyin Temple is mainly composed of the Heavenly King Hall, Fatang Hall and other halls as the central axis, with 500 Arhats Hall and the abbot building of Jigong Hall attached to both sides. Lingyin Temple, one of the famous ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River, was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 326). About 1700 years ago, it is the earliest famous temple in Hangzhou.

2. Hongluo Temple

Hongluo Temple is located in Huairou, and the folk saying is "male harmony, female red snail". Men pray best in Yonghe Palace, while women pray best in Hongluo Temple. Hongluo Temple was built in the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 338), 55 kilometers away from Beijing, with a total area of 800 hectares. Hongluo Temple not only has wonderful geographical environment and climatic conditions, but also contains profound historical accumulation. It can be said to be a "pure land Buddha country".

3. Sansheng Temple

Sansheng 'an Courtyard is located on the east side of the middle section of Heiyaochang Street. The "Buddha shines brightly" on the gable reminds people in the past that this should be a Buddhist temple, but unlike most temples, the entrance of the mountain faces south, east and west, which is quite distinctive. This temple was built 1000 years ago during the Song Renzong period, that is, Nanjing City in Liao Dynasty. There is a marriage tree in it, which is the most effective and has the name of "good marriage, three saints protect you".

4. Guangji Temple

Guangji Temple is located at No.25 Fuchengmennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. There are many precious cultural relics in the temple, such as the statues of Buddha III and eighteen arhats in the Ming Dynasty, the white marble platform built in the Kangxi period, and the bronze tripod in the Qianlong period. Guangji Temple is one of the famous "Inner Eight Temples" in Beijing. If you want to seek peach blossoms, this is a good place to go.

Matters needing attention in temple marriage

1. As the saying goes, sincerity is the spirit. When you go to a temple to get married, you should first pay attention to keeping a sincere and awe-inspiring heart and fasting in advance to get rid of the filthy breath and distractions in your heart.

2. When proposing marriage, you should tell the Bodhisattva in your heart what kind of person you are and what kind of marriage you want, and also explain that your wish will come back and come true after it is fulfilled, and pass it on to the Bodhisattva by worshipping Buddha and burning incense.

3. When you go home after worshipping the Bodhisattva, you should quietly copy the scriptures and recite them silently, and you will get your own good marriage.
