I have benefited a lot from Qionglai Baihe Mountain ! Experience the wisdom of Buddhism
Helin Temple was founded in the Sui Dynasty, and was very prosperous during the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the first year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty (1228), it underwent large-scale repairs and expansion, and was renamed Helin Zen Temple. The Ming and Qing Dynasties have undergone several constructions, and the existing Daxiong Hall was rebuilt by the monks of the temple in the sixth year of Ming Tianshun (1462). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the existing temples have been renovated and are the places for Buddhist activities in Qionglai City.
The temple is beautifully renovated, the details are very perfect, especially the murals, which are so beautiful! It is really not easy to achieve such a peaceful and exquisite state, showing the soft and strong power of women, which is really touching...

Let go, think about the things that need patience from different dimensions, instead of wronging yourself and hiding emotions! I hope that when I encounter troubles, I can gradually use the wisdom of Buddhism to look at problems, Amitabha...
