Next to me is our driver, Master Zhang, whose bus number is 123456. We serve you these days. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. Changzhou, also known as "Longcheng", is one of the 13 cities under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, It is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, equidistant from Shanghai and Nanjing. It now governs Jintan and Liyang, and Wujin, Xinbei, Tianning, Zhonglou and Qishu. OK, now you can take a look at the city of Changzhou. We are now in Tianning district

　　The scenic spot we are visiting today is Tianning Temple, which enjoys the reputation of "the first jungle in the Southeast". The founder of Tianning Temple is Farong Zen master of Youqi temple in Niutoushan, Jinling. It was built in Zhenguan and Yonghui years of Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1300 years. During this period, it was built and destroyed repeatedly, and changed its name several times. Tianning Temple is the same as Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, min temple in Yangzhou and Zen temple in Tiantong temple in Ningbo. Tianning Temple is characterized by its majestic and magnificent temples, tall and solemn Buddha statues, gorgeous brick and wood carvings, and numerous famous monks. We are now at Tianning Temple. Please take your belongings and get off with me.

　　The four big characters on the screen wall opposite the gate of Tianning Temple were written by Qianlong himself when he went to Tianning Temple for the third time. Longcheng is another name for Changzhou. Xiangjiao refers to Buddhism. Elephant is a mascot in Buddhism. Sakyamuni's mother dreams of white elephant at night. After Sakyamuni ascended to heaven, his disciples carved the statue of Sakyamuni on wood in order to remember the Buddha and spread Buddhism, and enlightened monks and good men and women with the image of Buddha.

　　This is the gate of Tianning Temple, which is also the Mountain Gate in Buddhism. Why is it called Shanmen? Because most of the ancient temples were built in the quiet mountain forest, it is called Shanmen. But Zen Buddhism is also called wisdom, compassion and convenience. Please follow me to visit the temple.

　　These two stone tablets record the honor of Tianning Temple. They are 4A scenic spots, national intangible cultural heritage, national key temples and cultural relics protection units in Jiangsu Province.

　　Now we come to the temple of heavenly kings. These words were written by Zhao Puchu, former vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, former chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association and a famous contemporary calligrapher. On the top, there are brick carvings of wuermen, which were written by Feng Guifen, editor of the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty. What is the only way? According to the interpretation of the Sutra, there is no difference between the Buddha and all living beings. There is no difference between the present and the past. There is no difference between this world and other worlds. This one represents all the Dharma in the world, and all the Dharma in the world can be summed up in this one. This is the only Dharma

　　On the wall, the present Abbot inscribed Amitabha Buddha. Now please follow me into the palace of the heavenly king. Facing him is Maitreya Buddha. He is bared and smiling, which makes people feel kind and kind. This Buddha always has a compassionate heart. Maitreya is translated as Tzi, which is Maitreya's surname. His name is ayido, which is translated as incompetent victory, It's called the "Budai monk" who has a big stomach that can accommodate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world. When he opens his mouth, he laughs at the ridiculous people in the world. It means Maitreya Buddha. On both sides of the hall are the four heavenly kings who protect Buddhism. They are commonly known as the four vajras. Each one is 7.8 meters high, and the Shentai is 9.1 meters high, Holding a lute shows that he uses music to make all living beings happy and benefit. In the south, the growth of the heavenly king is to make all living beings grow. Holding a sword is to protect the Dharma from infringement. In the west, the heavenly king Guangmu often observes the world with his pure heavenly eye, and twines a dragon in his hand to make him convert to Buddhism for the benefit of the people, They hold umbrellas in their right hand and words in their left hand to protect all living beings and subdue demons. The objects in their hands are magic weapons. Ancient people thought that they could suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits, so as to ensure good weather and peace of the country. Please go inside. This is Wei Tuo. He is the gatekeeper of the temple, There is another interesting folk legend about Maitreya and Weituo: they used to be the head of a temple. Maitreya was always smiling, and the incense was very strong, but it was not well guarded, so the temple was difficult to maintain. Weituo was extremely strict in external defense and internal governance, so the incense was ignored. After the Buddha found out, he asked them to cooperate. One was responsible for external reception, One is responsible for external defense and internal governance. At the beginning, he was not willing to do so, but after a period of cooperation, the incense is strong, the Buddhist temple is rich, and the Buddhism is promoted. From then on, he has been cooperating for a long time.

　　Please follow me. There are four side halls on the left and right of Tianwang hall and Daxiong hall. Manjusri hall, Puxian hall, Guanyin hall and dizang hall. They are Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, so it was difficult for Buddhist monks to visit four famous mountains in their life. Buddhist monks believe that if they have visited Tianning Temple, they can visit four famous mountains. On both sides is Luohan hall. We are going to dongluohan hall now. Look at the broom and fire bucket in the hands of this crazy monk. In the play, Qin Hui asked: why don't you have a hole in your fire bucket? The crazy monk replied that you can't have a hole, otherwise you will have an affair with a foreign country. Why is your broom new? It's obviously a lazy monk. The crazy monk replied: my broom is not used to sweep the floor, but to sweep away the treacherous officials. Qin Hui was stunned by this crazy monk. Later generations worship him not because he is an immortal, but because he is not afraid of power.

　　Please look at the walls on both sides. There are 518 images of arhat brick carvings on them. It was engraved in the 3rd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. During the ten years of turmoil, people covered it with lime, and it was only until now that it was completely preserved. Look at these two stone slabs. Does anyone know what they can do? By the way, they are used to measure seasons and time. They are called sundials (GUIs). These two pieces are the Qing Dynasty sundials which combine astronomical science, archaeological research and practical use. What should be explained is that the original two pieces, one was destroyed by the Japanese aggressors, and the other was blurred because of its long history. The present one is a copy of the original temple in 1991 after careful survey and design by researchers of Shanghai Observatory.

　　In front of us is the great hall. These four characters were written by Fei Nianci, a calligrapher in Changzhou and editor of the Imperial Academy during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. Daxiong is a Buddhist disciple's honorific name for Sakyamuni's supreme morality and boundless power. The moral is that the greatest warrior has boundless power. Now let's go inside and have a look. There are three great Buddhas in the center of the hall. In the middle of the hall is Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. Sakyamuni was born in the 5th century BC, 14 years earlier than Confucius in China. His original name is Siddhartha and his surname is Qiao Damo. Sakyamuni was later honored by Buddhists. Sakyamuni is the name of the race, which means sage. It means sage of the Sakyamuni nationality. He was the crown prince of ancient India's PI Kingdom, but he was not satisfied with it. When he saw the farmers sweating and whipping the cattle to plow in the hot sun, he felt the heaviness of life. When he saw the old man walking hard, he felt the pity of the old man. When he saw the pale patient, he felt the pain of illness. When he saw the mourners crying, he felt the sorrow of death Cool. How to get rid of life, old age, illness and death, he thought hard. At 29, he ran away from home. He studied meditation with a famous teacher in the mountains, and then practiced asceticism alone for six years. Later, he sat in meditation under a bodhi tree and thought hard about the method of liberation. Finally, in the early morning of the eighth day of December, Siddhartha finally overcame his last worries, gained complete consciousness, and became a great wisdom Buddha. He called the doctrines he created Buddhism. He spread Buddhism for 45 years, accepted many disciples, and nirvana at the age of 80.

　　To the East is the pharmacist Buddha in the eastern world. Ancient Chinese not only paid attention to life, but also death. Therefore, people hope to rely on the ability of the pharmacist Buddha to achieve the purpose of eliminating disasters and prolonging life. He holds the Falu in his left hand, which symbolizes that the doctrine of Buddha is like the Falu. Amitabha in the west is the master of the Western Paradise. No matter when and where, men and women, old and young, just reciting "amitabha in Nanwu (MO)" can eliminate the disaster. He holds the golden platform, which means that after all living beings die, his golden platform will be connected to the Western Paradise.

　　Standing on both sides of Sakyamuni are two of the top ten disciples. The elder on the left is called Kaya. He studied Buddhism with the Buddha and was the favorite disciple of the Buddha. After the death of the Buddha, Kaya gained the leading position of Buddhism. The young one on the right is called Ananda, which means happy or joyful. It is said that it is the hall of Buddha. He has a very good memory and profound knowledge. After the death of Kaya, Ananda became a Buddhist leader.

　　There are 20 Bodhisattvas on both sides of the main hall. They are the guardians of Buddhism. Please see, the child next to the "ghost son and Virgin Mary" is the son of the ghost mother. It is said that the ghost mother has many sons, but he is cruel in nature and loves to eat other people's children. When the Buddha knew about it, he hid his son and inspired him to compare his heart with his heart. Love other people's children like your own. Later, he abandoned the evil and promoted the good, and took his children to convert to Buddhism. This means that the Buddha is compassionate and has boundless power. He can teach and reform all the evil people.

　　Now we see 127 colored statues, up to 13 meters high. Standing barefoot at the top of the table, Guanyin holds a willow water purification bottle filled with magic nectar to save people from all kinds of diseases. It shows the style of "universal salvation". On the left is Dragon Girl, on the right is shancai boy. Above Guanyin is the king of Tibetans. The highest place on the island is the prince of snow mountain. It is the scene of Sakyamuni's six years of hard training. He squats barebacked and knees. Because he doesn't eat fireworks, he is as thin as wood. He relies on the White Ape to offer fruit and the elk to offer milk, which reflects his extraordinary training.

　　Now let's visit the Jade Buddha Hall, which was invited back by Myanmar. This Reclining Buddha is 5.3 meters long and weighs 12 tons. It is the image of the Buddha when he was 80 years old in Nirvana. Other Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas can only stand or sit. Only Sakyamuni can have reclining statues. This kind of horizontal position is called "auspicious reclining". The Buddha statues on the walls are presented by Taiwan friendship temple.

　　Here is the three treasures hall. Buddhism, Dharma and monks are the three treasures of the temple. On the first floor, monks meditate and recite Zen. On the second floor, there is the Sutra library. On the third floor, there is the Wanfo tower. Behind it is the Tianning pagoda, which is known as "the first Pagoda in China". You can visit it if you are interested. The tour of Tianning Temple ends here. Thank you!

　　"Tianning Temple, according to the victory of the upper reaches of Sanwu, creates a grand view and outstanding structure, and stands as the first garden in Southeast China.". In the Ming Dynasty, a story of rebuilding Tianning Temple once commented on Changzhou, a famous stone temple with a history of thousands of years at home and abroad.

　　Tianning Temple is located in the East WaiZhi street of Changzhou, an industrial star city rising in recent years. It was first built in the Yonghui period of Tang Dynasty (650-655), when only "more than ten couplets were built"; Tianfu temple was officially built in the Tianfu period of Tang Dynasty (901-904), and then it was renamed Wanshou Chongning temple; in the Zhenghe first year of Northern Song Dynasty (1111), the emperor ordered it to be named Tianning Temple; during this period, it was renamed Guangxiao temple and chongfenghui Daochang; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Tianning Temple, and it is still in use today.

　　Tianning Temple is famous for its "big temple, big Bodhisattva". There are more than 800 monks at most. The whole temple has more than 400 halls, pavilions and other large and small buildings, covering an area of more than 130 mu. The whole temple building forms a quadrangle courtyard with national style. The main halls that have been restored now are Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, Jingang hall, Puxian hall, Manjusri hall, Guanyin hall and Luohan hall. The main hall has double eaves and nine ridges, with a height of about 33 meters and a width of more than 26 meters.

　　The attraction of Tianning Temple to tourists at home and abroad is the artistic charm of the five hundred Arhats in the arhat hall. They sit in four rows. Each one is about 1 meter high. Each arhat has a different look. His eyes are vivid. His joy, anger, worry and joy all come out from his heart. Spring is real and natural, just like a living person. On the west wall outside the main hall, there are 500 Arhats carved in stone, which are of high artistic value. Their rubbings are widely spread abroad. The big leather drum and antique bronze bell in the main hall are also very distinctive in the temple. The bell is 2.5 meters high, 1.8 meters in diameter, and weighs more than 4 tons.

Dear tourists

　　Welcome to Tianning Temple.

　　In his poem "Jiangnan Spring quatrains", Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said, "in the Southern Dynasties, 480 temples, how many buildings are in the misty rain.". Although he described Jinling at that time, in fact, there were many temples and buildings in the eastern suburbs of Changzhou. With the changes of the times, many temples and Taoist temples have long been extinct. Only Tianning Temple has been prosperous for more than 1300 years. She has many strange and interesting things. If you want to know the details, please come to the scene and listen to me one by one.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, look at this magnificent building complex of fanyulin palace, which is the famous Tianning Temple. Together with Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Tiantong temple in Ningbo and Gaosi temple in Yangzhou, they are known as the four great jungles in Southeast China. Next, please look at the four characters of "Dragon City elephant religion" on the screen wall opposite the mountain gate. This is inscribed by Emperor Qianlong. Longcheng is another name for Changzhou. Xiangjiao refers to Buddhism. Now let's go to the temple of heavenly kings to meet the four heavenly kings. The four heavenly kings, commonly known as the "four vajras", are the Dharma protectors of Buddhism. Wearing a green robe and holding a lute is called "the king of Oriental holding state"; wearing a green robe and holding a sword is "the king of Southern growth"; wearing a red robe and twining a dragon in the hand is "the king of Western wide eyes"; wearing a green robe and holding a treasure building in the right hand (commonly known as an umbrella), holding a silver rat in the left hand is "the king of northern hearing".

　　They protect one side of the world from interference or infringement. Its image is basically consistent with the expression, magic and supernatural power of magic sea, magic green, magic red and magic longevity described in Chapter 40 of the classical novel Fengshen romance. The objects they hold in their hands are called "magic weapons", which are used to suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits, subdue hostility, and ensure the stability of the country and the people. Wind refers to the edge of the sword to protect all living beings; tune refers to the pipa to educate and delight the people with music; rain refers to the umbrella to subdue the demons; Shun refers to the dragon to maintain stability and protect world peace.

　　Stepping out of the Tianwang hall, it is a quadrangle courtyard in the shape of "Tian". The two Luohan halls are divided into four side halls: Manjusri hall, Puxian hall, Guanyin hall and dizang hall. These four Bodhisattvas are molded into one temple, and each of them lives in its own temple, which symbolizes the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism: Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. Therefore, Buddhist believers believe that those who have visited Tianning Temple are like those who have visited the four great Foshan.

　　The Arhats in the eastern and Western chambers of the arhat hall are divided into four rows, each of which is about one meter tall and covered in gold. Please pay attention: there are two distinguished guests in Luohan hall, Ji Dian and crazy monk.

　　Changzhou Tianning Temple also has two astronomical scientific instruments, which are unique in temples all over the world. It is placed on both sides of the Danlong Hall of the main hall. In the East, it looks like a stone tablet, standing vertically is called "face East-West sundial"; in the west, it looks like a table, lying flat is called "plane sundial".

　　Now, please go to the most majestic Temple of Tianning Temple, Daxiong hall. I don't want to elaborate. I just want to talk about the five characteristics of the main hall: high, thick, many, strange and clever.

　　Now, please move to the back of the main hall and pay homage to the painted sculpture Island Guanyin. This large group of painted sculptures is commonly known as "Wanghai Guanyin". The central figure of the group is Guanyin standing on the top of the group with bare feet. She holds Yang Zhijing's water bottle, which is filled with magic nectar to save people from all kinds of diseases, showing the demeanor of "universal salvation". On the left, the Dragon girl is standing with the jewels in her hands; on the right, the boy of good fortune is paying homage to Guanyin. On the left side of Guanyin is Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a green lion, and on the right side is Puxian Bodhisattva riding a white elephant. The highest place is the one meter high "Prince of snow mountain", which is the scene of Sakyamuni's six-year hard work on snow mountain.

　　Tianning Temple also has jade Buddha and bronze Buddha from Myanmar and Thailand. It has a new releasing pool built in 1990. Now it has a 13 storey Tianning pagoda behind the temple. The chanting of Buddhist Chants by the monks of Tianning Temple was performed in Jinjing, which is also highly respected in Hong Kong and Taiwan. All these show the status and prestige of Tianning Temple. I believe that her construction and development will keep pace with the times and get better and better. You are welcome to come again next time with your friends and relatives!
