[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Zhongtianzhu Fajing Buddhist Temple (Updated Jun)

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Fajing Temple in Hangzhou offers a rare and serene escape. Located at 112 Tianzhu Road in Xihu District, nestled between Fajing Temple and Faxi Temple, it is recognized as the foremost Zen temple of the Southern Song Dynasty. Upon entering the temple, visitors are greeted by the unique female-bodied Maitreya Bodhisattva statue in the Hall of Heavenly Kings. Behind it stands the distinctive statue of Marici, featuring three faces, eight arms, and a pig-headed human form. The 12-meter-tall, 48-armed Guanyin statue in the Hall of Universal Salvation exudes solemnity, with a hidden surprise of an eleven-faced Guanyin on its side. In the Mahavira Hall, a Guanyin statue carved from a single piece of Vietnamese agarwood emits a faint sandalwood fragrance. Visitors can also touch the bamboo mat relief on the back, symbolizing "blessings through touch." The temple is open to the public for free. It is recommended to arrive before 9 a.m. to avoid crowds and enjoy the morning light casting shadows of bamboo on the yellow walls. The temple is easily accessible via public transportation: take Metro Line 3 to Huanglongdong Station, transfer to Bus 1314, and alight at "Zhongtianzhu" Station, followed by a 3-minute walk. For those driving, parking is available at the "Santianzhu" parking lot, though spaces are limited. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, immerse yourself in Zen tranquility, and enjoy a peaceful and harmonious Dragon Boat Festival.

Shocking❗️The early Tang Dynasty murals in Cave 220 of the Mogao Grottoes hidden in the Hangzhou temple |||It’s really hard to believe Inside the Yuantong Hall of Fajing Zen Temple in Zhongtianzhu, Hangzhou Dunhuang Cave 220 actually contains the "most beautiful legendary cave" The colorful murals of the early Tang Dynasty I watch it immersively It's really shocking Mr. Xie Chengshui from Dunhuang After five years Based on the murals in Cave 220 of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Magnified four times to complete the drawing Reflecting the broad mind and prosperous scene of the founding of the Tang Dynasty Unveiling the curtain of the prosperous Tang Dynasty Important points: Rear wall: P1-P2 This is a variation of the Vimalakīrti Sutra, drawn based on the Vimalakirti Sutra. Vimalakīrti held the tail of the croaker in his hand and sat on his knees in the tent, leaning forward with his eyebrows slightly raised and his mouth slightly open, as if he was having a heated debate. Right wall: P3-P5 This is a version of the Medicine Master Sutra, drawn based on the "Buddha Speaks of the Medicine Master Tathagata's Original Vow Sutra". The main body is the Seven Buddhas of the Pure Land, the Medicine Master of the East, and the eight great Bodhisattvas stand on the left and right. There is a huge dance and music scene in front of the Medicine Buddha. There are 28 people in the band on both sides, playing a total of 15 kinds of musical instruments from the Han nationality in the Central Plains, ethnic minorities in the Western Regions and various instruments introduced from foreign countries. Two groups of maiko danced gracefully in the bright lights. One group stretched out its arms and waved a scarf, with its locks of hair flying, as if spinning; the other group raised its arms and feet, leaping vertically and horizontally. This is probably the Hu Xuan dance that was introduced from Central Asia. Left wall: P6-P12 This is a variation of the Amitabha Sutra, drawn based on the "Buddha Speaks of the Amitabha Sutra". The Meridian consists of three parts: the lower part is the ground, the middle part is the water country, and the upper part is the sky.

Hunchun, Zhongtian Temple, Jingjing Temple, No. 112 Tianzhu Road. I have always felt that the spring road in Tianzhu is the most attractive road in Hangzhou. It is straight up from the mountain gate of Lingyin Temple. It is called the Tianzhu Temple in the foot of the Feilai Peak. Tianzhu Temple, in the north of Baiyunfeng, is called Tianzhu Temple. The Temple of the Three Heavens is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. A kind of deep and fragrant smell, near Qingming, the New Year Longjing of West Lake, the tea market on this road is noisy. Lingyin Temple and Faxi Temple have been expanded in recent years, and the Huayan Temple is above the Tibetan Classical Pavilion. The supremacy is often prohibitive, and the way is to stop, but the sincerity is not strong, so Every time I climbed to the top, I saw that Buddha would worship. When I turned back, I really lamented that I was not forgiving. It is better to go to Fajing Temple. There are few people, quiet, and you can pray slowly in front of the Buddha for a long wish. The encounter is also easy, simple...
