It is the Taihe hall in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Dacheng hall in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, and the Tianfu hall in the Dai Temple in Taishan. Taihe hall was built in 1420, 411 years later than Tianfu hall. Dacheng hall was built without examination. According to historical records, it was moved to the present site when it was overhauled in 1021. In 1104 A.D., Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, took the meaning of "Confucius is jidacheng" from Mencius and issued an edict to change it into "Dacheng hall", 12 years later than Tianfu hall.

I'd like to tell you that there is a grandmother in our house who wants to get married and talk about marriage." 2. Chapter 66 of the strange situation witnessed in 20 years: "so as soon as you enter the door, I will know that you are here for something. That's why we have to go to the three treasures hall. " (3) in Ming Dynasty Feng Menglong's "warning to the world · white lady always lives in Leifeng Tower", the white lady says: "if you don't go to the three treasures hall, what are you going to do?" 4. In ancient India, various religions sent their families to practice in the woods where people were rarely seen, and the bhikkhs of primitive Buddhism were no exception. Therefore, the earliest Buddhist monasteries are called "alanruo", which are also translated as "alanruo" and "alanroka", which are translated as "Jungle", "quiet place", "free place", "far away place", "no dispute place", "empty home", etc., which refer to the quiet open space in the forest far away from the village. "On great wisdom" says: "monks get together in the jungle." With the "bamboo forest house" and "only garden house", some monks began to move into the house, so the Buddhist monastery was called "Kalan", which means "the garden where the monks live". The combination of Sanskrit and Chinese can be translated as "monastery" or "monastery", which is later called the Buddhist temple by the Han people. the main building of a Buddhist temple is the Buddha Hall where the Buddha statues are kept. Because the "three treasures" of Buddhism, Dharma and monk are the three elements of Buddhism, the "three treasures hall" has become the synonym of the Buddha Hall. Buddhist temples in India, with the pagoda as the center, build temples and monasteries around the pagoda. In the early Han Dynasty, the layout of Buddhist temples imitated the style of Indian Buddhism, combined with the tradition of layout of main buildings along the central axis in Han Dynasty, the pagoda and the temple were equally important, and the temple was built behind the pagoda. The Sui and Tang Dynasties inherited the layout form of the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, set the central axis, and took the Buddha Hall as the main building of the Buddhist temple, forming a courtyard pattern. The pagoda was often built next to the Buddhist temple, and became a "tower courtyard". in the minds of Buddhist believers in the Han Dynasty, the "three treasures hall" is a very sacred place, which can't go out and in at will. It is in this sense that the idiom "nothing goes without going to the temple of three treasures" comes into being. It is used to mean that nothing goes without going to the door.

allusion

As the saying goes, "nothing goes without going to the three treasures hall", it means that nothing goes without going to the door. As long as you go to the door, you have to ask for something. Buddhism refers to Buddhism, Dharma and monk as three treasures. The Buddhist preaches the Dharma, but the monk keeps it. The three have a sacred relationship with each other. Generally speaking, Buddhism refers to people who have great knowledge and awareness; Dharma refers to the doctrines of Buddhism; monk refers to people who inherit and preach doctrines. Of course, the hall where the three treasures are located is the hall of three treasures, which is the place where the Buddhists come to the stage to do things, "Daxiong hall"; the Buddhist scriptures and Classics Collection House, "Sutra collection building"; and the monk's "tranquil Zen room" of "Yan Xi" (that is, monks and other monks want to sleep) ". These three places are quiet and noble places for Buddhism, which are the customs of a country with a strong Buddhist tradition. according to the etiquette, what happened before we should go to Sanbao hall? On the first and the fifteenth day of the new year, we must go to pray for the Buddha and the scriptures; on the new year and the festival, we must go to pray for the heaven; on war, famine, weddings and funerals, birthdays, illness He always asks God to worship Buddha and must go; rituals, rituals and soul calls need to worship Buddha and offer incense and invite monks out of the temple, and he also has to go to the temple when he recovers, gets an exam, and gives birth to a son and a daughter It can be seen that if nothing happens, who will go to the "three treasures hall" to harass? "three treasures" is a Buddhist term, which means that Buddhists respect and support the three treasures of Buddha, magic weapon and monk. "Dharma" refers to the Dharma and truth preached to people according to the Buddha's understanding; and "monk" refers to the monk group who practices Dharma. All of these are important factors for all living beings to attain enlightenment. Therefore, Buddhists are called three treasures. The "treasure" of the three treasures is a metaphor, which is used to show the virtues of Buddha, Dharma and monk. The possession of gold and silver, pearls, agate and other worldly treasures can make our material life free from want; relying on the worldly treasures such as Buddha, Dharma and monk can free us from the cycle of life and death and spiritual suffering. "Three treasures hall" generally refers to the general Buddha Hall. People's respect and admiration for the three treasures makes the Buddha Hall a very sacred place. Apart from praying, worshiping and other related religious activities, ordinary people can't enter and play at will. Therefore, the idiom "nothing goes without going to the three treasures hall" is used to describe that nothing comes without going to the door.

significance

The idiom "everything goes without going to the temple of three treasures" reflects that ordinary people always come to the temple of Buddha for something. But instead of embracing Buddhism temporarily, why don't you convert to the three treasures and ask for help, so that you can get rid of the sufferings through the power of faith? Three treasures, like the compass of all living beings, can guide us to a safe haven in the vast sea of people. Conversion to the three treasures and constant recitation of the three treasures can make us rely on the merit of the three treasures. By this way, we can be born and die, bravely go through the bitter sea, return to our true self, and return to our real home. With the three treasures as our support, we can have safe parents. Not only let us find a place to settle down in this world, but also let us have a home in the future!
