Where is the nun in China? Do all the nuns in it need haircuts?

? In Buddhist culture, men need to shave their heads and women need to become monks. This should be the so-called equality of all beings. However, the temple where women live as monks has its own name-a nun.

Where do you know about nuns? Is it the TV series "Queen of the Palace"? Zhen Xuan, in her heyday, was forced to go to a nun for a retreat for various reasons shortly after giving birth to her child. Remember the wonderful jade in A Dream of Red Mansions? She is a Taoist, but she is different, because she takes her hair to practice in a nun's place, just to clear her heart and relieve her illness.

But just through these, how much do you know about real nuns? They can let you know more.

The first is Pushou Temple, one of the temples in Wutai Mountain. It can be said to be the lowest-key and most mysterious place in this temple group. Approaching it, you can feel its grandeur, but you can also feel its coldness and nobility, as if it were so sacred. It tells the world everywhere that the story behind it, brick by brick, is the precipitation of the story.

It is not only a temple, but also a lecture hall for spreading Buddhist culture, because it is a nationally recognized Buddhist college, the luminary Buddhist College and even the largest women's Buddhist college in Asia. All kinds of education about Buddhism will be carried out here to train more Buddhist monks.

Because as a college, it is very rigorous. Only when it is necessary to hold some dharma meetings or invite others will outsiders enter, otherwise its door will be closed. Away from the worldly prosperity, they devote themselves to practice here and walk and bow down on the long road.

They devote themselves to practice here, and they will cultivate their minds like the ancients, and they will also learn a lot of knowledge like today's students. Many people find it mysterious. Actually, it's more or less mysterious. After all, not everyone can enter here.

The other is Baiguo Xinglong Temple in the northeast. This temple was built in 1995. Now, in addition to some halls dedicated to Buddha statues, there are many rooms serving Buddhism. At the same time, many guest rooms have been built in recent ten years, so it is a rare place to read Buddhism.

Anyone who practices medicine here must abide by the timetable here. He has detailed arrangements from getting up to early fasting to chanting Buddha and then going to bed, but he must recite the Buddha's name for eight hours every day and listen to the scriptures for eight hours, which is quite strict. This is probably one of the reasons why it is famous, which can be understood as dedication.

It is also not open to the public, because in order to avoid the monks in the temple being disturbed by outsiders who are not influenced by Buddhism, Buddhist believers can go in and pay homage. It was not built for the world to visit, so it is reasonable not to make it public.

Everyone is familiar with Buddhism and Shaolin Temple, but few people are familiar with such buddhist nun, but they are also part of Buddhist culture. Although mysterious, it is also very common. In fact, like male monks, they are all devout in their own beliefs.

However, these two places belong to the undisclosed type. If you are curious, it seems that you can only look at them from a distance.
