Duobao Temple

Duobao Temple

Gaojian Township in Sanmen, Zhejiang Province, surrounded by mountains and deep forests, is a secluded place far away from the hustle and bustle. Among them, there is a magnificent ancient temple Duobao temple. The ancient temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was initially named "Longxiang courtyard". In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was renamed today, and once belonged to the lower courtyard of Guoqing temple in Tiantai Mountain. It was rebuilt twice in Qing Dynasty. By 1992, when master Zhimin was the abbot, only the broken temple and ruins were left. Min Gong led the public to walk a long way, Chongguang Mountain Gate, and built a new master hall, Daxiong hall, etc., which made Duobao temple a grand hall of Chinese Buddhism and famous at home and abroad.

According to the way of teaching in the jungle, the temple cultivates qualified monks who love the motherland, uphold the Dharma of the abbot, strictly observe the pure precepts, refine and stop observing, combine teaching with evidence, inherit the fine traditions of Buddhism, and can make practical contributions to the solemn territory and happiness. ——The tenet of Duobao Temple

geographical position

Although Duobao temple in Sanmen is built on the mountain, it is not deep and is surrounded by the earth. In the south, the main entrance is the noisy market, adjacent to the primary school in the East, facing Gaojian village across the stream in the west, and the Ningbo Taizhou Wenzhou Expressway in the north. One step out is the world of mortals, one step in is the rules and regulations; one side is the temptation of material desires, the other side is the study and cultivation of hardship, such an environment can undoubtedly temper a person's will and test a person's strength. Duobao Temple gives people association, enlightenment and sentiment. It can be said that the wind is moved by banners, and the environment is created by the heart.

Human history

Duobao temple is also mysterious. Its mystery is that it has a strict set of rules. All the monks wear three kinds of clothes according to the Buddha's rules. They eat every day, and most of them don't eat at noon. Monks don't talk about anything except chanting, practicing Zen and working. As a result, many of them have been practicing in one temple for several years and still don't know each other's name. There are also requirements for believers. Each pool in the temple is marked with specific uses. There are strict distinctions between the male and female in which pool they wash dishes, and which pool they wash vegetables in. The women must leave the temple in the evening and enter it when the sun rises in the morning. Qigong practitioners and outsiders are not allowed to enter the master hall. Smoking is not allowed in the temple. Even if you smoke in the patio or aisle, monks will stop you when they see you.

Famous scenic spot

The prosperity of the country and the prosperity of Buddhism. After years of reconstruction, Duobao temple has become more and more complete. But the most worthy to see are the master hall, the Sutra library and the relic tower.

Sutra Library

In the Sutra building, there is the largest Burmese white jade Guanyin Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the treasure of the temple.

Sarita

On the mountain to the right of the temple is the relic pagoda of the Supreme Master of Qing Dynasty. It is made of white jade. The style is the same as that of the memorial pagoda built by King Ashoka for Buddha, but the size is a little smaller.

Overview of temples

Shangyu Duobao temple is located in Baiguan street, Shangyu District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It is a unique place with mountains and rivers. There is Cao'e River in the front and Longshan mountain in the back. The temple is only one hundred meters away from the prosperous business district. Because of the Longshan barrier, it is quiet in the middle of the trouble and free from interference. It is like a paradise in the world. There are three ancient camphors in the temple, which are full of green. Only three or four people can embrace each other. The oldest tree is three or four hundred years old, which is more elegant.

Shangyu has been a nation of cultural relics since ancient times. As early as in ancient times, Emperor Shun avoided chaos and came here to educate, so Cao'e River was originally named Shun River. Shun met all the officials, so Baiguan town got its name. Cao'e, a filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty, cried along the river for seven days because her father was drowned. She was sincere and touching, so she changed the name of the river. Huijiao, Liang Dai, wrote biography of eminent monks, which has been handed down for a long time and has made great contributions to Buddhism. In the last century, Ma Yifu, a great master of Chinese culture, was a close friend of master Hongyi. He learned Confucianism and Buddhism, and was well-known for his erudition and profundity. All of them are Shangyu people, and there are so many of them. For a long time by the sages, Shangyu people are gentle and generous, advocating morality and courtesy.

The former site of the temple had two cultivation huts, Shangmao and Hongzhong. In 1999, in order to promote the construction of local religious culture, then Vice Mayor Chen yingniu, on behalf of Shangyu municipal government, invited master Shangzhi and master xiamin from duobaoshuo temple in Sanmen to come here. He integrated the original two small temples and planned to build a medium-sized Temple covering an area of 37 mu. In April 1999, Shangyu Municipal Bureau of ethnic and Religious Affairs approved the registration in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. In January 2007, the registration certificate for places of religious activities was issued. In November 2013, Shangyu was removed from the city and divided into districts, and the temple was renamed duobaoshuo temple in Shangyu district. The license issuing authority was the Bureau of ethnic and religious affairs of Shangyu District, Shaoxing City.

The architectural style of the temple is unique. On the central axis of the temple, there are four halls, namely, three gates (Maitreya hall and Dharma protection Hall), Mahatma hall, master Hall (including pharmacist hall and chanting Hall) and Sutra collection building. The wing rooms on both sides are the monk's house (including the Abbot's building), the guest hall, the temple and the bell and Drum Tower. Among them, the main hall is the most magnificent, with a height of 37 meters and an area of 800 square meters. It is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha and his two disciples. The statue of the master is nine meters high, and the statue of the second disciple is seven meters high.

This temple is a grand temple. Daban ruozong was founded by the eminent monk Neng Haishi in the 20th century in China. According to the Daban ruozong, it carried forward the perfect and pure Buddhism. There are many Taoist schools in Sichuan and Shanxi. This temple and Sanmen duobaoshuo temple are the main temples in the south of the Yangtze River. In his early years, master Zhimin, the abbot, followed master Haigong for more than ten years and got the essence of his general rufa. At the beginning of the nineties of the last century, he began to devote himself to the construction of Taoist temples and the cultivation of monks. At present, there are more than 40 monks living in the temple. They participate in the labor and curriculum study of various departments of the temple (called Liaokou) every day. They practice both blessing and wisdom, and strive to become qualified monks with real ability and practical learning, strict adherence to the precepts, refined cultivation and sufficient teaching evidence. In addition, there are more than 100 permanent residents from all over the world, and Peifu can study.

Under the leadership of master min Gong, the abbot, duobaoshuo temple was built with three treasures, strict commandments, Buddhist dharma, and interest. On the one hand, he actively promoted Buddhism and made good use of life, taught conversion, five commandments and eight fasting to the Buddhist monks, and regularly held activities such as chanting Buddhist scriptures, lecturing and copying Buddhist scriptures. On the other hand, we should carry out public welfare charity, actively respond to the call of the state in case of earthquake and other disasters, and generously donate money and materials to relief the victims. Adhering to the original intention of Buddhism, we insist that we do not make profits from Buddhist activities and do not charge tickets. In the past 20 years since its establishment, Duobao temple has won a good reputation in the Buddhist community, and is famous for its law holding and Dharma holding Daochang.

Former host

Master Qingding is one of the top ten Buddhist monks in China. Zheng Quanshan was born in 1903. His life is full of legend. He graduated from the infantry division of the first phase of the Huangpu Military Academy and rose from a junior officer to a major general of the Kuomintang. In 1941, dissatisfied with the Kuomintang's negative Anti Japanese policy, Zheng Quanshan abandoned his wife and other daughters, became a monk in anger, and later entered the family of master Nenghai, the 13th generation of Tantric master. Gaojian was the hometown of the Qing Dynasty's Supreme Master. Now, the pagoda of the guru stands on the top of the mountain of his hometown. It is a great comfort to watch the mountains and rivers of his hometown day after day and year after year and witness the great changes of his hometown.

Repeatedly salute, right around three turns, to express infinite respect for the guru. The pagoda, hidden by green trees, appears silent and empty under the blue sky and white clouds. The white hada, tied to the tree, dances in the wind, indicating a happy future.

Current chair

Master Zhimin, the abbot, takes precepts as the foundation, sets wisdom as well as wisdom, pays equal attention to learning and cultivation, goes deep into Sanzang, and has the ability to argue without hindrance. He is a rare Buddhist treasure admired by both man and nature.

The master has been engaged in Sangha education for a long time. He has established a systematic and rigorous teaching method based on the theory of giving up everything and taking the order of Tao as the practice. He has cultivated a number of monks who can continue the wisdom of Buddhism, and made Duobao temple a Buddhist feast and a Taoist Center for ten directions to hear the wind and return.

The master continued to publish the theory of Xianmi Sutra while preaching and preaching. In order to make it easy for the students and scholars to understand and share the Dharma benefits, the guru, regardless of his age and infirmity, collected extensive citations, annotated the classics, compiled the notes into a book and printed them for circulation. Some of them have also been delivered to Shanghai ancient books publishing house for public distribution, making the audience wider. His compassionate heart can be learned from both human and nature.

If there are eminent monks, there must be Dharma followers, and if there are Dharma followers, there must be Taoist temples. The ancient temple inscribed by Zhao Puchu's Dade with plaques of "duobaoshuo Temple" and "master hall" has become a model for Buddhism to strengthen its own construction. Now, it is planned to build a great hall, which will be a magic weapon. I hope that the ten good faith will help me along with the fate, share the Dharma benefits, and build a tall Dharma building!
