Zhaojue Temple in Chengdu | It is said to be the most effective first Zen temple in western Sichuan!

I heard that young people like to visit temples now, so we must keep up with the pace. I like the feeling of being alert and peaceful when I step into the temple with a strong incense. Here you can clearly feel the power of faith and the awe of life. Although it is located in the downtown area, you can also feel the feeling of 'everything is a new environment in the empty mountain' when the Sanskrit is lingering. 👏🏻 Temple Entry Instructions ⬆️ Lighting incense: The lit incense should not be brought into the main hall. Hold the tail of the incense with your left hand, shake it lightly after lighting it, and don't blow it with your mouth. ⬆️ Holding incense: The four fingers of the right hand are stacked on the left hand, and the thumbs of both hands are opposite. The index finger and middle finger hold the body of the incense, and the tail of the incense rests against the thumb. ⬆️ Offering incense: The head is slightly drooping, and the eyes are level with the Buddha statue. Raise the incense with both hands to be level with the eyebrows. Pray devoutly in your heart, bow three times. Then insert the incense into the incense burner. ⬆️ When expressing your intentions to Buddha, you can bring some cash. 🙅🏻 Other points to note: 1️⃣ You can get 21 incense sticks for free at the entrance of the temple, because there are 7 places to burn incense in the temple, 3 sticks at one place. It is forbidden to bring outside incense in the temple, so there is no need to buy it outside the temple. 2️⃣ The temple and the zoo are connected.
