The Origin of Tong Yuan in Kunming City, Yunnan Province

1: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, a temple in the mountain, and a big monk in the temple ..." This is a popular nursery rhyme. If you put "Tong Yuan" in it, it will become "Once upon a time there was a Tongyuan Mountain, a Yuantong Temple in the mountain, and a Tong Yuan monk in the temple ..." It is also appropriate to use this to describe many famous temples in China. There is a Tong Yuan in Coral Township, Shanghang County. It is also interesting to explore its origin.

2. Tongyuan Mountain in Coral Town was not originally called as such by local people, but was called "Barrel Mountain" according to its shape. In other words, the whole mountain looks like a barrel, and the hills surrounded by trees are like pieces of barrel boards, naturally forming a barrel bottom-a small basin.

There is nothing wrong with the title of "Tongyuan Mountain", but how did it evolve into "Tongyuan Mountain"? Tong Yuan, a monk, explained that "Tong Yuan" is one of the 32 names of Guanyin, also known as "Master Tong Yuan". So "Yuantong Temple" is usually a temple dedicated to Guanyin. Buddhism calls avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Compassionate Bodhisattva, which has multiple incarnations. As long as the suffering beings recite their names, Guanyin Bodhisattva will "watch their voices" and immediately go to the rescue, so it is very popular among believers. Therefore, "Tong Yuan" has become a universal title. There is no Yuantong Temple in Tong Yuan. Later, a monk thought it was a good place for "Tong Yuan Dojo", so he raised money from his followers. Soon, the Dojo was built and named Yuantong Temple.

4. The name "Tong Yuan" is a bit vulgar. It turns out that people call it convention, but "Tongyuan Mountain" is just right? The mountain is not high, but the fairy is famous? Since the establishment of Yuantong Temple on the mountain, more and more people have come here to worship, and naturally there is the name of Tong Yuan. The sound of "Tong" and "Tong" is similar, and the name of "Tong Yuan" is more aura, so "Tongyuanshan" is used instead of "Tongyuanshan".
