Jin 'ao Mountain, five miles east of Chongming County, Shanghai, is located in Shou 'an Temple.

Shouan Temple, one of the four ancient temples, is located at the southern end of Jin 'ao Mountain. In the past, "Shouan Temple" was once known as "green hills outside the temple and pavilions in the green water". Later, due to the war and Japanese invasion, as well as man-made disasters and riots, the past grand occasion was destroyed. The existing Shouan Temple was rebuilt by 1983. There is a wonderful couplet at the door, which was inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu-"Long live the Tathagata and the Pure Land". In addition to the magnificent Hall of Heroes, the Three Temples and Tianwang Temple also have unique charm. There are also 16 Buddha statues, such as the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, and painted gold statues such as Tathagata III, Manjusri, Pu Xian and Daoguanyin. Among them, there is a giant jade reclining Buddha on the second floor of the west wing. It weighs 13 tons and is more than 6 meters long. It is the largest jade reclining Buddha in Shanghai. "

There are three iron Buddha statues of Tathagata III in the temple, all weighing several tons. In front of the main hall stands a big incense burner carved with dragons and painted with wind. Later, due to the war and Japanese invasion, as well as man-made disasters and riots, the former grand occasion was completely destroyed.

When Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, visited Shou 'an Temple, he wrote in calligraphy "Long live the Tathagata, long live the pure land." . There are inscriptions and literati Mo Bao in the temple, attracting tourists and pilgrims from all walks of life. On the day of Buddha's birthday, the temple is full of incense and red candles, pilgrims and tourists jostle shoulder to shoulder, and the temple is full of religious atmosphere. Over the past few years, Shouan Temple has received tourists from the United States, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places to worship. It also received a large number of compatriots from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao who returned to China for sightseeing and came to Bao Dao to seek roots and visit relatives. At that time, the abbot of the temple, Gan Dangshuai, served as a director of the Shanghai Buddhist Association and made immortal contributions to the reconstruction of Shou 'an Temple. In the past, the ancient temple "Shou 'an Temple" in Bao Dao, known as "green hills outside the temple and green waters in the pavilion", was just around the corner.

1983, three temples were rebuilt, and siddhattha gotama and colorful golden statues were rebuilt under the call of Master Guangyuan. Later, the magnificent Hall of Great Heroes was built, and sixteen Buddha statues, such as Tathagata, Manjusri, Pu Xian and Guanyin, were shaped on the island. It is planned to rebuild the abbot's room, Jinglou, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Gongde Hall, Release Pond and other buildings on the original site, which will be integrated with Jin 'ao Mountain and reflect the interest. It has been successfully built, and the current abbot is Master Juejue. Shou 'an Temple was founded in 709 AD (the third year of Tang Zhongzong Jinglong). At this time, after Xuanzang's death, the Buddha became a monk and practiced here. The temple was destroyed at the end of Yuan Dynasty (1368) and rebuilt in the fourth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (137 1), and the Yi people planted 3000 cypresses in Cao Kai. Xu applied for donation to build the Great Compassion Pavilion, and cast a bronze statue of Mazu to build Mazu Hall, which was later destroyed by a fire in the late Ming Dynasty (1644). By the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt under the auspices of Zen Master Wen, Yue Rong and Li Ting, and it was repaired and improved many times. There are two big characters "Buddha Capital" on the zhaobi in front of the temple. The temple gate is tall and solemn, resplendent and magnificent. There are three gold characters "Shouan Temple" hanging on the mountain gate, which is the book of Chengdu Magistrate's Office during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. The entrance to the mountain gate is the Heavenly King Hall, followed by a square inlaid with bluestone, and Maitreya Buddha (five meters high, stone carving) sits alone in the middle. Next to Maitreya Hall, there is a couplet that says, "Open your mouth and laugh at everything; A big belly can accommodate you, but no one can tolerate it. "Its two corridors are the Five Hundred Arhats Hall, and then the Great Buddha Hall. There is a plaque in the center of the hall, and Ananda and Ye Jia stand on both sides of the Buddha Sakyamuni. In front of the Dharma Hall, behind it is the Tibetan Scripture Building (the Tibetan Scripture in the temple 1076 volume, reaching 5048 volume at the peak), and on both sides are the East and West monasteries. On the left side of Daxiong Hall, there is a meditation hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, and there is also a hut that can accommodate monks and buddhist nun from all over China. Dongfang Zhang's room has a storage room, a fragrant kitchen, a dining room and a guest room. There are four Buddhist temples in the whole temple, which are rectangular and orderly, and the materials used are all wood and stone structures; The attic courtyard of the temple is beautiful and magnificent; The cornices of doors and windows, as well as columns, beams, beams and caissons, are more vivid than the scales of birds, animals and flowers extracted from paintings. The layout of the whole temple is based on the structure and scale of Dalin Temple in Nanchong. The pavilions overlap, the hall is deep, the roof is towering, the cornices are upturned, and it is lined with towering cypresses and tall bamboo forests, which is very majestic and solemn.

Buddhist statues are exquisite and vivid. The four heavenly kings in Dawang Temple are several meters tall, each holding a pipa sword, a snake, an umbrella and a silver mouse. Staring at it with glaring eyes, drawing gold, grotesque, making people respect it; The cloth-bag monk in Maitreya Temple was very pregnant. The tourists reached out and touched him, but he smiled. This cherry tree and Tibetan Buddha statue were planted and built in 2005 by Mr. Hattori, president of Hong Wen Industrial Co., Ltd. in Tokyo. Since 1990, Guanghui Industry has accepted 22 trainees from China to study environmental analysis technology in Japan for more than one year. The students are mainly distributed on both sides of the Yangtze River valley, and have made great contributions to China's environmental protection after returning home.

This charity was initiated by Mr. Hattori Long before the first reunion, and was planted with the assistance of Yang Jiansheng, a student from Shanghai. Yu Yingzhou (Chongming), a cherry tree species, symbolizes Sino-Japanese friendship and the healthy development of environmental protection in China. At the same time, we pray for Tibetan Bodhisattva to protect human safety and advocate all living beings to protect human ecological environment. It is also a gathering place for industrial trainees and a memorial place for environmental protection research. Because it is karma, I would like to record it as inspiration. (Bing Xu, Chunyue only thinks)

Shouan Temple in the Northern Wei Dynasty welcomed Sakyamuni Buddha.

Wenxin Pavilion is located behind the Jade Buddha Building, at the four corners of the pyramid roof. The so-called "good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and there will eventually be gods." The moral of the pavilion is to warn newcomers to ask themselves first, not to be good or evil. Karma is not bad. As long as the heart of heaven thinks of hell, if he has good thoughts, he will not have evil thoughts.

Siddhartha Gautama, an iron ore and rock sculpture of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is enshrined in Wenxin Pavilion. The picture was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Cao in Shanghai. Stone statues are dark red and copper. It is 2 meters high, 1. 1.5 meters wide and weighs 1.5 tons ... The Buddha stands up, his left hand hangs down, and his heart is sealed with a wish, indicating that all the wishes of all sentient beings have been met. Put your right hand on your chest and seal it with fearlessness, indicating that the fear of all sentient beings can be lifted. The head dress has a spiral hairstyle, and the cassock wears shoulder-length cassock. The pattern of the cassock is trough-shaped, thin and close-fitting, giving people a dignified, generous, solemn and kind beauty as a whole. There is a mighty bodhisattva on the left and right, and scripture is engraved on the pedestal. There is a flame pattern on the back of the back, and three-dimensional thousand Buddha pictures are carved on both sides and back. This kind of Buddha statue has a long history and is the first Buddha statue in the history of Buddhist statues. According to Agama, in ancient India in the 6th century BC, Sakyamuni Buddha was the mother of Moyev, and he would die for 33 days. At that time, Udayana was afraid that the Buddha would be thirsty after he left, so he let the Buddha stand by and ordered outstanding craftsmen in the country to carve a statue of the Buddha with cow head wood carvings and sandalwood according to the Buddha's reflection in the water. Because the Buddha statue is carved with ebony, it is called "ebony Buddha statue", and because it was initiated by ancient Indian Udayana and carved by craftsmen, it is also called "Udayana statue". Due to its long history, this stone statue has been damaged and weathered. In Shouan Temple, you can drink tea in the hall in front of Luohan Hall under the shadow of Yimei, and you can also go to the Dharma Hall to listen to the scriptures. Shouan Temple Dojo comes down in one continuous line with Mazu and Bazu Zen Hall (called Mazu Dojo). Because Mazu fully implemented the characteristics of Zen in specific daily life, broke through the narcissism and burnout of practitioners, and brought Zen to reality, the practical goal of Zen is not asceticism, but an extremely optimistic "happy life", which is highly respected by Japanese Buddhist circles because of the organic combination of wisdom and life. The vegetarian food in Shouan Temple is also famous. You can go to Wuguantang to fast at noon. The five senses hall is on the left side of the ancient temple, spacious and bright, and can accommodate 300 people to enter the lent at the same time. If you are lucky enough to catch up with Sakyamuni's enlightenment day on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, you can taste the famous and unique Laba porridge in Shou 'an Temple. This kind of porridge was originally cooked for the Buddha, but it was also provided to believers and tourists on this day. Temple monks cook walnuts, peanuts, pine nuts, lactic acid bacteria, persimmons, chestnuts, dates, glutinous rice and soybeans. With brown sugar, it's delicious. Master Tang Sentence will definitely advise you to eat three bowls in a row to avoid three disasters and eight difficulties.

After dinner, you can visit the temple again and look at the inscriptions, plaques, couplets, and inscriptions by celebrities of all ages. For example, China's calligraphy gave this chapter in the Tang Dynasty, Zi Guang Lu was written by Dr. Quan Dexing, and Mazu Taming was written by Guangdong political scholar Luohan Li in the Qing Dynasty. The inscriptions inscribed by calligraphers in past dynasties, such as the reappearance of Lingshan, the fragrant clouds, the homology of clothes and bowls, the solemnity of raising a bodhisattva, the smile of a flower, the mustard seed, and the revelation of the truth in the garden, all contain endless Zen machines and profound meanings.

The "North Temple Night Bell" is a wonderful sight. The prayer bell in the temple starts at dusk, and crows fly around the temple. "The bell has spread to three thousand worlds, and Buddhism has spread to hundreds of millions of countries." In this case, your heart will actually be in the meaning of a wonderful conversation. 1.
