Shenshui Lianting, a Zen homestay in the famous Buddhist mountain in the west of Beijing.

✔Last weekend, I went to Yunju Temple to pray for blessings and chose to stay at Shenshui Lianting to empty myself. ✔Shenshui Lianting Located in Shenshuiyu Village, deep in Shangfang Mountain, Hancun Town, Fangshan District, West Beijing ✔My favorite is that there is a place to write here. The "indoor birch tree" is one of the design features. There is also a yoga room. There are regular singing bowl healing activities. The room has floor-to-ceiling windows. ✔You can sit and watch the beautiful scenery in the mountains and see the "Reclining Buddha" in the distance. When you come here, listen to the store manager's talk and become interested in the Buddhist culture of Shangfang Mountain. Shangfang Mountain is the first famous Buddhist mountain in Beijing. ✔Since the Eastern Wei Dynasty, monks have chosen to build temples here to promote the Dharma. After more than a thousand years of changes, Shangfang Mountain has gradually become a well-known Buddhist mountain in the southwest of Beijing and is regarded as a sacred place. There are currently 72 temples and ruins in the park, the most famous of which is the Doulv Temple of the Sui Dynasty. ✔Yao Guangxiao, a politician, Buddhist scholar, and writer of the Ming Dynasty, assisted Zhu Di in moving the capital to Beijing and planned the layout of Beijing. After Zhu Di became emperor, what he thought of was not to fight for merit and invite pets, but to go back to the Buddha Hall to complete his practice career. So Zhu Di made him the biggest monk, and gave him the ancient Xiangguang Temple in Dahanji, Fangshan as a villa. At this time, Yao Guangxiao saw that Nanhua Yanlin was quiet and next to Shangfang Mountain, and he rebuilt this temple as a hermit. Nanhua Yan became the first temple to restore incense among many Huayan temples in the Ming Dynasty. ✔The architectural decoration style of Shenshui Lianting is naturally influenced by Buddhist culture. In many spaces, you can see the embodiment of Buddhist culture: the statue of Guanyin, the curtain of the statue of Sakyamuni, the lotus-shaped incense burner, etc. There are also some naturally formed in the mountains, such as Ganoderma-shaped wooden stakes, stones, etc.
