Dear tourists
Welcome to Tianning Temple.
In his poem "Jiangnan Spring quatrains", Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty,said, "in the Southern Dynasties, 480 temples, how many buildings are in themisty rain.". Although he described Jinling at that time, in fact, there weremany temples and buildings in the eastern suburbs of Changzhou. With the changesof the times, many temples and Taoist temples have long been extinct. OnlyTianning Temple has been prosperous for more than 1300 years. She has manystrange and interesting things. If you want to know the details, please come tothe scene and listen to me one by one.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at this magnificent building complex of fanyulinpalace, which is the famous Tianning Temple. Together with Jinshan Temple inZhenjiang, Tiantong temple in Ningbo and Gaosi temple in Yangzhou, they areknown as the four great jungles in Southeast China. Next, please look at thefour characters of "Dragon City elephant religion" on the screen wall oppositethe mountain gate. This is inscribed by Emperor Qianlong. Longcheng is anothername for Changzhou. Xiangjiao refers to Buddhism. Now let's go to the temple ofheavenly kings to meet the four heavenly kings. The four heavenly kings,commonly known as the "four vajras", are the Dharma protectors of Buddhism.Wearing a green robe and holding a lute is called "the king of Oriental holdingstate"; wearing a green robe and holding a sword is "the king of Southerngrowth"; wearing a red robe and twining a dragon in the hand is "the king ofWestern wide eyes"; wearing a green robe and holding a treasure building in theright hand (commonly known as an umbrella), holding a silver rat in the lefthand is "the king of northern hearing".
They protect one side of the world from interference or infringement. Itsimage is basically consistent with the expression, magic and supernatural powerof magic sea, magic green, magic red and magic longevity described in Chapter 40of the classical novel Fengshen romance. The objects they hold in their handsare called "magic weapons", which are used to suppress demons and eliminate evilspirits, subdue hostility, and ensure the stability of the country and thepeople. Wind refers to the edge of the sword to protect all living beings; tunerefers to the pipa to educate and delight the people with music; rain refers tothe umbrella to subdue the demons; Shun refers to the dragon to maintainstability and protect world peace.
Stepping out of the Tianwang hall, it is a quadrangle courtyard in theshape of "Tian". The two Luohan halls are divided into four side halls: Manjusrihall, Puxian hall, Guanyin hall and dizang hall. These four Bodhisattvas aremolded into one temple, and each of them lives in its own temple, whichsymbolizes the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism: Mount Wutai in Shanxi,Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui.Therefore, Buddhist believers believe that those who have visited TianningTemple are like those who have visited the four great Foshan.
The Arhats in the eastern and Western chambers of the arhat hall aredivided into four rows, each of which is about one meter tall and covered ingold. Please pay attention: there are two distinguished guests in Luohan hall,Ji Dian and crazy monk.
Changzhou Tianning Temple also has two astronomical scientific instruments,which are unique in temples all over the world. It is placed on both sides ofthe Danlong Hall of the main hall. In the East, it looks like a stone tablet,standing vertically is called "face East-West sundial"; in the west, it lookslike a table, lying flat is called "plane sundial".
Now, please go to the most majestic Temple of Tianning Temple, Daxionghall. I don't want to elaborate. I just want to talk about the fivecharacteristics of the main hall: high, thick, many, strange and clever.
Now, please move to the back of the main hall and pay homage to the paintedsculpture Island Guanyin. This large group of painted sculptures is commonlyknown as "Wanghai Guanyin". The central figure of the group is Guanyin standingon the top of the group with bare feet. She holds Yang Zhijing's water bottle,which is filled with magic nectar to save people from all kinds of diseases,showing the demeanor of "universal salvation". On the left, the Dragon girl isstanding with the jewels in her hands; on the right, the boy of good fortune ispaying homage to Guanyin. On the left side of Guanyin is Manjusri Bodhisattvariding a green lion, and on the right side is Puxian Bodhisattva riding a whiteelephant. The highest place is the one meter high "Prince of snow mountain",which is the scene of Sakyamuni's six-year hard work on snow mountain.
Tianning Temple also has jade Buddha and bronze Buddha from Myanmar andThailand. It has a new releasing pool built in 1990. Now it has a 13 storeyTianning pagoda behind the temple. The chanting of Buddhist Chants by the monksof Tianning Temple was performed in Jinjing, which is also highly respected inHong Kong and Chinese Taiwan. All these show the status and prestige of Tianning Temple.I believe that her construction and development will keep pace with the timesand get better and better.

Maitreya was always smiling, and theincense was very strong, but it was not well guarded, so the temple wasdifficult to maintain. Weituo was extremely strict in external defense andinternal governance, so the incense was ignored. After the Buddha found out, heasked them to cooperate. One was responsible for external reception, One isresponsible for external defense and internal governance. At the beginning, hewas not willing to do so, but after a period of cooperation, the incense isstrong, the Buddhist temple is rich, and the Buddhism is promoted. From then on,he has been cooperating for a long time.
Please follow me. There are four side halls on the left and right ofTianwang hall and Daxiong hall. Manjusri hall, Puxian hall, Guanyin hall anddizang hall. They are Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuoin Zhejiang and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. In ancient times, transportation wasinconvenient, so it was difficult for Buddhist monks to visit four famousmountains in their life. Buddhist monks believe that if they have visitedTianning Temple, they can visit four famous mountains. On both sides is Luohanhall. We are going to dongluohan hall now. Look at the broom and fire bucket inthe hands of this crazy monk. In the play, Qin Hui asked: why don't you have ahole in your fire bucket? The crazy monk replied that you can't have a hole,otherwise you will have an affair with a foreign country. Why is your broom new?It's obviously a lazy monk. The crazy monk replied: my broom is not used tosweep the floor, but to sweep away the treacherous officials. Qin Hui wasstunned by this crazy monk. Later generations worship him not because he is animmortal, but because he is not afraid of power.
Please look at the walls on both sides. There are 518 images of arhat brickcarvings on them. It was engraved in the 3rd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty.During the ten years of turmoil, people covered it with lime, and it was onlyuntil now that it was completely preserved. Look at these two stone slabs. Doesanyone know what they can do? By the way, they are used to measure seasons andtime. They are called sundials (GUIs). These two pieces are the Qing Dynastysundials which combine astronomical science, archaeological research andpractical use. What should be explained is that the original two pieces, one wasdestroyed by the Japanese aggressors, and the other was blurred because of itslong history. The present one is a copy of the original temple in 1991 aftercareful survey and design by researchers of Shanghai Observatory.
In front of us is the great hall. These four characters were written by FeiNianci, a calligrapher in Changzhou and editor of the Imperial Academy duringthe reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. Daxiong is a Buddhistdisciple's honorific name for Sakyamuni's supreme morality and boundless power.The moral is that the greatest warrior has boundless power. Now let's go insideand have a look. There are three great Buddhas in the center of the hall. In themiddle of the hall is Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. Sakyamuni was born inthe 5th century BC, 14 years earlier than Confucius in China. His original nameis Siddhartha and his surname is Qiao Damo. Sakyamuni was later honored byBuddhists. Sakyamuni is the name of the race, which means sage. It means sage ofthe Sakyamuni nationality. He was the crown prince of ancient India's PIKingdom, but he was not satisfied with it. When he saw the farmers sweating andwhipping the cattle to plow in the hot sun, he felt the heaviness of life. Whenhe saw the old man walking hard, he felt the pity of the old man. When he sawthe pale patient, he felt the pain of illness. When he saw the mourners crying,he felt the sorrow of death Cool. How to get rid of life, old age, illness anddeath, he thought hard. At 29, he ran away from home. He studied meditation witha famous teacher in the mountains, and then practiced asceticism alone for sixyears. Later, he sat in meditation under a bodhi tree and thought hard about themethod of liberation. Finally, in the early morning of the eighth day ofDecember, Siddhartha finally overcame his last worries, gained completeconsciousness, and became a great wisdom Buddha. He called the doctrines hecreated Buddhism. He spread Buddhism for 45 years, accepted many disciples, andnirvana at the age of 80.
To the East is the pharmacist Buddha in the eastern world. Ancient Chinesenot only paid attention to life, but also death. Therefore, people hope to relyon the ability of the pharmacist Buddha to achieve the purpose of eliminatingdisasters and prolonging life. He holds the Falun in his left hand, whichsymbolizes that the doctrine of Buddha is like the Falun. Amitabha in the westis the master of the Western Paradise. No matter when and where, men and women,old and young, just reciting "amitabha in Nanwu (MO)" can eliminate thedisaster. He holds the golden platform, which means that after all living beingsdie, his golden platform will be connected to the Western Paradise.
Standing on both sides of Sakyamuni are two of the top ten disciples. Theelder on the left is called Kaya. He studied Buddhism with the Buddha and wasthe favorite disciple of the Buddha. After the death of the Buddha, Kaya gainedthe leading position of Buddhism. The young one on the right is called Ananda,which means happy or joyful. It is said that it is the hall of Buddha. He has avery good memory and profound knowledge. After the death of Kaya, Ananda becamea Buddhist leader.
There are 20 Bodhisattvas on both sides of the main hall. They are theguardians of Buddhism. Please see, the child next to the "ghost son and VirginMary" is the son of the ghost mother. It is said that the ghost mother has manysons, but he is cruel in nature and loves to eat other people's children. Whenthe Buddha knew about it, he hid his son and inspired him to compare his heartwith his heart. Love other people's children like your own. Later, he abandonedthe evil and promoted the good, and took his children to convert to Buddhism.This means that the Buddha is compassionate and has boundless power. He canteach and reform all the evil people.
Now we see 127 colored statues, up to 13 meters high. Standing barefoot atthe top of the table, Guanyin holds a willow water purification bottle filledwith magic nectar to save people from all kinds of diseases. It shows the styleof "universal salvation". On the left is Dragon Girl, on the right is shancaiboy. Above Guanyin is the king of Tibetans. The highest place on the island isthe prince of snow mountain. It is the scene of Sakyamuni's six years of hardtraining. He squats barebacked and knees. Because he doesn't eat fireworks, heis as thin as wood. He relies on the White Ape to offer fruit and the elk tooffer milk, which reflects his extraordinary training.
Now let's visit the Jade Buddha Hall, which was invited back by Myanmar.This Reclining Buddha is 5.3 meters long and weighs 12 tons. It is the image ofthe Buddha when he was 80 years old in Nirvana. Other Buddha statues andBodhisattvas can only stand or sit. Only Sakyamuni can have reclining statues.This kind of horizontal position is called "auspicious reclining". The Buddhastatues on the walls are presented by Chinese Taiwan friendship temple.
