What are the temples on the hill? Where are the temples built? Why was it built on a hill?

Famen Temple, Shaanxi, Baoji, Fufeng.

Large temples, mostly built on hills, because of these points.

Most temples are built on mountains, because the ancients believed that this would bring them closer to the sky, so that they could absorb the aura between heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon.

Because the environment on the mountain is very quiet, it is convenient for monks to chant Buddhist sutras, and it is relatively safe to avoid natural disasters.

There are also temples built on the edge of the city, like the temple in Nanjing. It was built on the hill for the sake of purity, without worldly disturbances.

The main purpose is to climb high and look far away, monks and Taoists to practice, the environment is good, one is to worship God; the second is to welcome the gods; Third, it is spotless; fourth, immortality; Fifth, it can be isolated from the world. At the same time, it also enables the majority of believers to enter the empty door, lead them to be fascinating, open-minded, make people fascinated, and embody the unattainable and desirable artistic conception of fairyland.

Because the ancestors of monks and Taoists have passed down the concept of "birth". Therefore, their clothing and appearance are different from ordinary people, and temples and Taoist temples are also built away from the hustle and bustle. What I seek is a peaceful mood and state of mind.

Many famous mountains in China have Buddhist temples, temples, and temples built on the mountainside or on the top. In order to practice and cultivate Chinese Buddhism and Taoism, and to break away from the world, it is inevitable to find a place with few pedestrians, vehicles, and horses and build it"Mountain Temple"、"Doin"。

There is an old Chinese saying:"Explore the ancient temple in the deep mountains, and see the Buddha hall in Pingchuan"。The temple of Chinese Buddhism and the palace architecture of Taoism, its requirements are almost the same, all temples are built according to the ritual system, no matter how big the temple, it is necessary to build a very complete set of symmetrical buildings according to the ritual system, only different from the scale of the opening of each temple, the courtyard combination in the temple, etc., but there are still a lot of changes in the local treatment.

Because of many physical indicators and invisible magnetic field radiation, it is easy to enter a pure state when meditating, and there are few laypeople.

There are also many temples built in the city. The kind is for the convenience of believers to worship. It was built deep in the mountains for the purpose of choosing a quiet place for spiritual practice, away from the red dust, and in addition, the air and natural environment in the mountains are good, which is conducive to spiritual practice. In ancient times, some of them also tried to avoid disasters such as wars.

Large temples, mostly built on hills, because of these points.

Distance produces mystery, and mystery leads to admiration.

When China's Buddhism was respected by the regime, it was also built in the downtown area, such as Fayuan Temple, Daxiangguo Temple, White Horse Temple, etc., after the end of the monks chose to build temples in a clean place, of course, the site selection is to see the feng shui, the mountains and rivers linger, the place of green trees can not be in the town.

In addition, Chinese people generally enter temples to see through the red dust, but they have all ordinary thoughts, pure hearts and few desires, and choose places with few people to cultivate themselves.

"Five Lantern Huiyuan" records:

The monk of Wutai Mountain's Secret Demon Rock often holds a wooden branch, and every time he sees a monk come to worship, he forks his neck and says: "That demon sect you are a monk?" That Demon Sect Walks Your Feet? The Tao will die, and the Tao will die, and the Tao will die. Speed! Speed! "Apprentices are rarely right. ”

Today, the abbot of the secret temple interprets the auspicious master, his appearance is not good, he is silent, but there is a gully in his chest, and he is a knowledgeable man. How can the last school be like this? There is a reason for the end of learning. The name of the temple is "secret", and I will not say it again.

Wutai has the secret of the temple name, which is far away and rugged and difficult for people to recognize.

The sect is steep and large, and the wooden fork monk is not far behind.

Dharma has been coming for more than 1,000 years, and the Dharma veins have gradually broken like hanging wires.

May you have the right faith in the Bodhisattva and carry forward the Dharma for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Bow to the auspicious teacher.

In fact, a lot, I have been to Jiuhua Mountain, the front of the mountain is a tourist area, there are very few tourists in the back mountain, but there are a lot of ascetic monks in the ** temple penance. So you can go to the back mountain of Jiuhua Mountain to find it. (For example, Zhenru Temple, Luohan Dun Temple, etc., these two are still relatively close to the back mountain, and there is a little farther away).

In the book "Searching for Contemporary Chinese Hermits", it introduces many people who practice in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain and Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, most of them are ascetic, there are monks and Taoists, especially Zhongnan Mountain.

Presumption: Famous mountain scenic spots such as Wutai Mountain are actually in places where tourists go relatively little, and there should be temples in the deep mountains, where many secluded and ascetic practitioners are there.

I have been to Tongbai Mountain in Henan Province, and the mountains and rivers are good.

I heard that Zhongnan Mountain is also very good, I haven't been there.

Since it is a deep mountain and old forest, do you want to find the address on the Internet, even if someone knows, will it be a developed area, will there be a computer?
