Fajing Temple

Fajing temple, formerly known as zhongtianzhu temple, is located in the west of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. There are three Tianzhu temples between Tianzhu Mountain and Lingyin Temple.

Brief introduction to temples

From the gate of Lingyin Temple to the south, to the north of Baiyun peak, it is called shangtianzhu temple. In the north of Jiliu peak, it is called zhongtianzhu temple. At the foot of Feilai peak, it is called Tianzhu temple. Santianzhu temple is based on the worship of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Tianzhu is the Buddhist kingdom of Hangzhou in history, and the three temples in Tianzhu are full of incense. During the Yuan Dynasty (1328-1330), Daxin, a monk of zhongtianzhu temple, won the favor of Muer, a picture poster of yuanwenzong. The name of the temple was changed to "Tianli Yongzuo Temple". Who knows "Yongzuo" is not "forever". In the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, zhongtianzhu also did not escape the disaster of destroying the temple and dispersing monks. The middle part is about 1 li away from the upper part. The temple was first built in the Sui Dynasty and was named chongshouyuan in the Wu and Yue dynasties. It seems to be particularly favored by the emperors of all dynasties: the Northern Song Dynasty granted it the name of "Tianning Wanshou Yongzuo Temple". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong granted the statue of Buddha to be placed in the Huayan Pavilion in the temple, and the temple was expanded. In the Ming Dynasty, it was granted the title of "zhongtianzhu Temple". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor ningzong was listed as the first of the five mountains and ten temples of Zen. In addition, it was renamed Tianli Yongzuo temple in Yuan Dynasty and Fajing temple in Qing Dynasty. There is a sutra Pavilion in the temple, which was destroyed by fire in 1947.

Zhongtianzhu was separated from xiatianzhu and became an independent court. At that time, shangtianzhu had come from behind, but zhongtianzhu was still isolated between shangtianzhu and xiatianzhu. In order to be on an equal footing with the upper and lower Tianzhu, the monks of zhongtianzhu Temple held their breath and tried to find the right time. Finally, after the "manifesting" of morichitian, they had another chance to receive officials to pray for rain. Fortunately, praying for rain came to an "effective" end. Since then, zhongtianzhu temple has also been looked at with great admiration. When Huayan pavilion was built, its reputation and status became even more prominent, becoming a majestic temple on the lake. After the reconstruction of Hongwu Temple (1368-1398) in Ming Dynasty, it was named "zhongtianzhu Temple". In Zhengde (1506-1521), the temple was destroyed again. In the 25th year of Jiajing reign (1546), monk Huiyong and others raised money for reconstruction, and the original Houmin hall was rebuilt into the Baiyi Guanyin hall.

Zhongtianzhu's twelve scenes chant, written by huisong, a poet monk in the Northern Song Dynasty, has left the beautiful scenery inside and outside the ancient temple to posterity. For example, the thousand year old old ancient idea says: the thousand year old rock head is green and dense, and the former treasure palm was the only bosom friend.

Where is the putuan sitting? Where is the monk. It is said that when Baozhang first came, he often sat on a huge rock and said that this rock was called "qiansui rock" by later generations, and the rock was behind the temple. Another example is "Seven Star pond moon": the name of Beidou is linked to the shape of marsh, and its source is Tianhe Qing. The night is cool, the autumn sky is clear, and the ice soul is peaceful. Qixingtan is located in front of the main hall of zhongtianzhu temple. It is connected with seven clear springs and looks like the Big Dipper. Another example is "Yongqing bamboo wave": lang (Wang + GaN) is clear and green in water, sometimes sweeping the land and blowing with strong wind. The front of the window is rolling up and down, so don't be afraid of the Dragon carp in the forest. "Yongqing" is yongqingwu, just opposite zhongtianzhu temple. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a couplet in the hall of zhongtianzhu, which was easy to understand, cold and sarcastic. The couplet was: when we conclude a good fortune, it is not only in a stick of fragrance, but also in a few Buddhist names; you can have all the good fruits in your heart, and naturally grow osmanthus fruit in autumn and orchid bud in spring. Today, the Buddhist gate of zhongtianzhu temple has been reopened and religious activities have resumed. In addition to pilgrims who are mainly elderly women, there are also tourists who come to visit the temple.
