The Secret Land of Buddhism in Western Beijing】The Wonderful Story of the Thousand-Year-Old Stone Scriptures in Yunju Temple**

**【 Yunju Temple, hidden in the clouds of Fangshan, is a Buddhist holy place in the west of Beijing. It was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and has survived thousands of years. The temple houses the "Stone Scripture Great Wall" - more than 130,000 stone slabs with sutras, which are Buddhist treasures engraved by the ancients with a knife and a chisel, and can be called a world cultural wonder. Strolling through the ancient temple, the Tang pagoda stands tall, the ancient cypresses are majestic, and the sound of bells is lingering, as if traveling through time and space. The most shocking thing is the "Leiyin Cave" deep in the underground palace. The walls are inlaid with stone scriptures, and the inscribed regular script is vigorous and still clearly discernible after thousands of years. Legend has it that the Buddha's light vision appeared here, adding to the mystery. The stone path outside the temple is winding. Climbing up and looking far away, the mountains are green, as if it is a paradise. If you want to explore the ancient, Yunju Temple must be visited! Every brick and tile has a story, and every scripture and stone is full of emotions. Wait for you to experience this Zen and shock that spans thousands of years!
