Taiwan trip What’s special about Fo Guang Shan

The highlight of this trip is Fo Guang Shan. Although I am not a religious believer, I have always believed that religion is actually the earliest and most profound experimental position of psychology. How to make religion better accept its own believers as the times develop is a very interesting topic. And this Buddhist pure land far away from the busy city seems to be making a good display. Because it not only has stunning architecture and grand scale in the traditional sense, but also embodies the core message of "getting close to people" - using technology to increase interaction and using interaction to promote Buddhism. In the view of the founder, Master Hsing Yun, Buddhism should not always be righteous and aloof like in the past, but should go to the world, be kind to others, and be happy with others. So in Fo Guang Shan, you can see Starbucks as soon as you enter. The Buddhist songs played are also full of contemporary feeling. Even the little monk dolls are cute. This is repackaging an ancient religion with the idea of ​​building a theme park, and it can also be done. To be pure and peaceful, not noisy or noisy, it is worth learning. 
