Shanghai Jade Buddha Temple

The Jade Buddha Temple is one of Shanghai's most important temples, enjoying enduring popularity and widespread worship. It boasts a great location in the city center, convenient transportation, and nearby parking for those driving. The ambiance is pleasant, spacious, and elegant. There's also a vegetarian restaurant, which is quite large, but customers are expected to find their own seats. The vegetarian noodles and mooncakes are also quite delicious.

Walking into Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple, it seems to have stepped into a pure land in a busy city. The monastery, named for its service to two Jade Buddhas, was founded in Qingguangxu eight years (1882), and was created by Putuo Mountain Huigen mage after returning to Myanmar from Myanmar. Stepping into the temple, the first to see the Temple of the Tenno, the four major Tennos in the temple are powerful and majestic, and the Hufaweeduo holds a diamond, which is solemn. Along the central axis, it is the Grand Palace of the Great Hall. The temple is dedicated to the three golden Buddhas. The solemnity of the law is awe-inspiring. The most shocking is the Jade Buddha Building. The Jade Buddha sitting upstairs is carved from a whole piece of white jade, high1.95 meters, weighing about a ton, the surface is covered with gold foil, and the stone is set, which is the treasure of the town temple. The Jade Buddha has a kind face and a serene appearance, as if talking about a hundred years of peace and peace. The Jade Buddha Temple is not only a holy place for Buddhism, but also a place of spiritual habitat. Here, people can copy scriptures and feel the peace and tranquility of their hearts. This century-old temple attracts countless followers and tourists with its deep historical heritage and unique Buddhist culture.

Buy cultural and creative products! Personally, I think the cultural and creative products on the right hand side of the entrance are the best!!! Although it is indeed not cheap, there is no admission fee and incense and flower coupons. People like me don’t buy incense or anything else, so buying some cultural and creative products can be considered a disguised merit, hahahaha~ The perspective formed by the caisson + ceiling + Buddha statue in the main hall is great~ There is a jade Buddha in the last courtyard, and the temple is named after it, so it is worth seeing. The temple cat is also cute. Although it ignores us, it has cultural and creative products~

[tips]You can visit for free and worship Buddha. You can donate money in cash or scan the QR code on WeChat. There is a QR code on the front of the box for money. It is so up-to-date, so you don't need to carry cash with you. [Recommendation] It is free, no tickets are required, and the place is not small. It is cost-effective and you can worship Buddha and pray for blessings. There are many halls here, and each building is connected by corridors, so you won't get wet in the rain🌧. It happened to rain on the day I went there. I saw the rain under the eaves falling through the lotus-shaped decorations, which felt ingenious. In addition, I went there before the college entrance examination, and I found that there were rituals inside to pray for the candidates. It was amazing. [tips]I found that there were not only many Chinese people, but also many foreigners who came to visit.

Near New Year's Day, my mother was busy preparing the New Year's merchandise and asked me to take my niece to the Jade Buddha Zen Temple to worship Tai-year-old, because her relatives just committed Tai-year-old this year. And I would like to go with Xie Tai-yen just a year ago. [Geographical Environment] The Jade Buddha Zen Temple is located on the Anyuan Road. It is named for its worship of the Jade Buddha. It is also called the Jade Buddha Zen Temple because it belongs to the Linji Law System of Zen and practices Zen Law. Metro Line 13 is accessible by bus. The Buddha worship should be sincere. We started early in the morning. It was only 7:20 when we arrived at the Jade Buddha Zen Temple. The gate of the temple was not opened. But many pilgrims had queued up consciously at the ticket office. We also joined the queue in order. While waiting, my half-understood aunt temporarily imparted some Buddha worship knowledge to the little girl. Perfume vouchers and Baitai-year-old travelling paper treasures must be paid for by themselves, not by others. When you enter a temple, you must not step on the threshold, step over it, make no noise, point at the Bodhisattva treasure, acquiesce in your heart, and then kneel respectfully on the Pu Tuan and kowtow three times. At 8 o'clock, tickets began to be sold. Everyone bought tickets in turn and checked them into the temple. The Advanced Heavenly King Hall worships the Four Heavenly Kings, Maitreya Bodhisattva and Veluva Bodhisattva. Then go to Guanyin Hall and Daxiong Palace in turn. In the incense burning area, each person has his own information after he has invited the paper treasures to be shipped. Then she helped her niece to open her Tai-year-old paper jewelry, which contained a box of sandalwood, various charms and an amulet. Ignite this sandalwood tree and pray to all Bodhisattvas for your blessings. Then open the amulet and read it three times. Put the amulet back with you. Then go to the incense burner to incinerate the old paper treasure. Watch the little girl do it step by step respectfully according to the procedure I taught. I hope she'll be out of breath this year, with good luck, prosperous finances and good health! [Xie Tai-ye] Actually, it's similar to the procedure of worship Tai-ye, but in the end, the amulet accompanying him for one year should be burned together with the paper treasure of Tai-ye. We really need to pay tribute to Tai-ye, for one year's protection, for a bright town house, for disaster relief and disaster relief. And pray for the new year, everything goes smoothly and all wishes come true. After completing the most important ceremony of worshipping (thanking) Tai-year-old, I took my nieces and nephews to the Jade Buddha Hall to see the treasures of the town temple and the statue of Sakyamuni sitting on the Buddha. The gold foil and the inlaid gemstones on the Buddha's body were dazzling. There are sleeping Buddha halls, sniffing sandalwood in the nose, in the temple can let the soul get a little pure, and then go around the Buddha kneel worship. The Jade Buddha Zen Temple in the bustling city is a place where good men and women come to pray for their gods. Their hearts are fragrant and they need to do good deeds in connection with each other.
