Walking into Shan Hua Temple | Here, I caught an entire winter of tranquility

Tripped by the light of Shan Hua Temple The Buddha statues inside the hall are bathed in golden radiance Even the breath becomes lighter Shadows of the red walls sway gently The wind brushes past the hems of clothes Time moves slowly here So slow you can hear the sound of time passing No need to rush the itinerary Just stand outside the hall and bask in the sun Watch the light and shadows flow through the folds of the Buddha’s robes The heart feels softened by the temple’s incense Even thoughts are too lazy to branch out 📍Shanxi Datong · Shan Hua Temple (Tip: The temple is quiet with few people, and the afternoon light carries a warm tone, making photos look like they are soaked in old times)
