Guangji Temple—lush greenery and ancient temple

🌿Guangji Temple is located at the intersection of Fuchengmennei Street and Xisida Street in Xicheng District, Beijing. Its full name is "Chujian Hongci Guangji Temple," and it is the location of the Chinese Buddhist Association. It has a history of over 1,000 years. Guangji Temple is not large, but it is quiet and peaceful. The temple is surrounded by ancient trees and lush greenery. Despite being located in a bustling city, it has a unique and independent style. In the stillness, it silently benefits all beings in the world, which is probably the result of the Buddhist Association's influence. The temple has two courtyards. Usually, there are not many visitors, but devout believers gather to listen to lectures in the Buddha hall. I also met a young monk who was quietly sweeping the temple. Out of respect, I didn't take his picture, but many tourists were moved by his dedication. The Buddhist spirit of compassion and generosity is best interpreted in the lush courtyard of Guangji Temple. If you are a Buddhist believer, Guangji Temple is a must-visit. If you are an ordinary tourist, Guangji Temple will bring you a peaceful haven in the bustling city.
