Chengdu, Sichuan | Daci Temple Embroidered Orchid Path: The Exquisite Beauty of Traditional Embroidery Walking along the Daci Temple Embroidered Orchid Path, you'll discover not only the tranquility and Buddhist atmosphere of the ancient temple, but also a unique attraction rich in cultural charm: the Embroidery Gallery. The embroidery works on display are exquisitely crafted. Some depict flowers, birds, and landscapes, with distinct layers of color and gossamer-fine stitching; others depict ladies and auspicious animals, with vivid expressions and flowing lines. These works vividly showcase the traditional Sichuan embroidery craftsmanship. In addition to hanging paintings and screens, there are also small embroidered sachets, brocade bookmarks, and brocade boxes, integrating ancient crafts into everyday life. Each piece is like silk thread transformed into ink, time woven into fabric, evoking the allure of "the universe between needle and thread, the poetic spirit within silk."

Daci Temple

Chengdu, Sichuan | Daci Temple Commemorates Xuanzang, the Master's Original Aspiration in the Western Journey to Seek the Dharma Chengdu's Daci Temple is renowned not only for its millennia-old temple, but also for a great monk: Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang became a Buddhist monk here as a young boy. The temple's halls and bells bear witness to his earliest years of practice. Years later, he embarked on a perilous journey westward, enduring 81 trials and tribulations, ultimately bringing Buddhist scriptures back to China, achieving a pinnacle in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Today, within Daci Temple, a memorial dedicated to Xuanzang is established, showcasing the master's unwavering vows and unwavering pursuit of the Dharma through statues, inscriptions, and exhibits. Visitors standing before Xuanzang's statue, hands clasped together, are filled with reverence: a courage that transcends life and death, and a sincere pursuit of Buddhist truth. Xuanzang's legacy to Daci Temple is not only a history of his monastic life, but also a symbol of his original aspiration. The temple thus becomes a place where compassion, steadfastness, and the pursuit of the Dharma converge. For believers, visiting here is not only a way to pay homage to the Buddha but also an opportunity to learn from the master's resolve and perseverance. The Chengdu Daci Temple x Xuanzang Memorial Ceremony demonstrates that the light of the Dharma has been preserved for millennia precisely because of the tireless dedication of generations of practitioners.
