Enjoy the beauty of flowers with a mind free of distractions! When the magnolia flowers meet the ancient Qingliang Temple of a thousand years

►Why must the mind be free of distractions? Because the Wurumendu Gate in the Qingliangshan Park's Qingliang Temple was inscribed by Master Haili, who hoped that people would practice 'non-discrimination,' not denying the objective differences that exist in all things, not to harbor subjective preferences or aversions, to learn equality, to understand harmony, to be non-discriminatory, non-attached, without arising thoughts or moving notions, to protect their own pure and wondrously clear mind! A simple concept that may require a lifetime of practice! ►This single white magnolia is uniquely beautiful ▪The spring of the Dragon year was rather cold, and many parks have had their blooming seasons delayed, including Qingliangshan Park. Currently, only the camellias at Zhumapo and the magnolias in Qingliang Temple are in full bloom ▪We entered from the north gate, passed the back door of Chongzheng Academy, and saw a lush white magnolia standing out among the surrounding buildings from the road descending from Ginkgo Valley. It was truly stunning ▪Two magnolias are planted in the courtyard of the Wurumendu Gate, and the taller one looks like a heart shape from an aerial view, so beautiful! The courtyard is not very large, but you can find angles to take pictures of the magnolia from 360 degrees. The abbot sits quietly by the doorway, watching the flowers bloom and fall. No wonder the vegetation in the temple grows so well, because it's peaceful! ▪The temple is currently expanding the Mahavira Hall, and it is estimated that in a year's time, this place will become another center for pilgrims ►Admission: Free, you can enter from either the east or north gate, but the east gate is a bit closer to Qingliang Temple
