Xi'an City walk must check-in at Xingshan Temple

In the previous article, I mentioned the Daxingshan Temple, located in the Xiaozhai business district, it is a quiet place in the bustling city. The whole street is great for shopping, with markets, various coffee shops and food, dessert shops and Ji Sugar Water Shop (Xiaozhai Shop)'s coffee double skin milk is good, Hand Island Sushi (Xiaozhai Shop)'s various sushi are good, and the classic pizza from the shop next door, Florence·Classic Oven Pizza (Xiaozhai Shop) shop's tuna pizza... Speaking of Daxingshan Temple, it is the ancestral home of Esoteric Buddhism, it seems to have been built in the Sui Dynasty, and has been renovated many times to its current appearance. The first time I went in was in 2013 when I just started college, at that time it was everywhere in ruins, only two wax plum trees were blooming in winter, the fragrance was refreshing. Later I went there many times and found that the plants planted here are very interesting, wisteria in spring and summer (thousand-year-old tree), osmanthus in summer, red spider lily in early autumn, persimmon tree in deep autumn, and wax plum in winter. My mother has some Buddhist connections, she accidentally found this place, she said that she accidentally entered the monks' rest area, a slightly fat monk holding a potato and eggplant rice in his hand did not rush her when she was lost, but laughed and asked her if she had eaten, and invited her to go to the dining hall to eat. She told me that it's okay to go there more often, it can calm down. So I developed a habit, every time I'm upset or don't know what to do, I go there. The more I learned, the more I found that this temple is not simple, it has been insisting on translating scriptures for so many years, it is one of the few temples in the country with translation qualifications. This time I went there, I specifically asked for a peace and health pendant for a friend who is not in good health, hoping to bless her.
