The birthplace of Pure Land Buddhism, Xuanzhong Temple.

We got up early and came to the thousand-year-old Xuanzhong Temple with a few friends. The gate was not open yet, and a few monks were sweeping the floor. We negotiated with the monks and they let us in. We cleaned the temple. Amitabha, the monks actually agreed. The temple gate opened, and an ancient atmosphere came oncoming. The halls are scattered and elegant. As the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect, the Sanskrit here is lingering, full of a sense of sacredness. The surrounding mountains and forests are surrounded by quietness. We swept the floor and admired it, as if we could touch the context of history and feel the unique charm of the thousand-year-old temple.
