Pray for good fortune at Yonghe Temple this Spring Festival (detailed guide included)

It's Spring Festival again! 🧧 Every year on the first day of the lunar new year, tens of thousands of people line up at Yonghe Temple to be the first to burn incense. I want to be the first this year, and wish for a promotion and a raise in the new year! 🚶‍♀️Route Try not to go back the way you came, and plan your route in advance. Entrance ticket check ▶️ Dharma Circulation Office ▶️ Get free incense at the incense gift office ▶️ Zhaotai Gate ▶️ Yonghe Gate Hall (good luck) ▶️ Imperial Stele Pavilion ▶️ Lecture Hall (peace) ▶️ Yonghe Temple Hall (wealth) ▶️ Kalachakra Hall (good luck) ▶️ Yongyou Hall (ward off evil spirits and disasters) ▶️ Consecration Room (west side of Yongyou Hall) ▶️ Dharma Wheel Hall (career) ▶️ West Hall (study) ▶️ Wanfuge Pavilion (good luck and peace in the front hall, marriage and children in the back hall) ▶️ Medicine Master Hall (health) ▶️ Exit through the small door on the west side ✅About making a wish 1️⃣ 3 sticks of incense each time, the free incense is more than enough. If you don't use it all, you can put it in the recycling bin at the exit; 2️⃣ Light the incense once, if there is a flame, shake it out with your hand; 3️⃣ Burn incense in front of the hall, worship inside the hall, and don't enter through the middle door; 4️⃣ Wish speech: introduce yourself (name, date of birth, etc.) + wish + vow [be as detailed as possible, no substitutions!] ✅Dharma Circulation Office There are three Dharma Circulation Offices in Yonghe Temple. The first is on the west side of the entrance, and you don't need a ticket to buy things there. The second is next to Zhaotai Gate, the largest one in Yonghe Temple. The third is on the west side of Yongyou Hall, next to the consecration room. I always buy a bracelet when I come here, but today I found a great gift called "Yonghe Xi Tea" 👉 "happiness from heaven", so I quickly bought a few boxes to take home to my family and friends. 🍀🍀
