Wuwei Temple

On Dali 214 National Road, there is a thousand-year-old temple Wuwei Temple. Located in the east of Lanfeng, Cangshan Mountain, Wuwei Temple hidden in the depths of Cangshan Mountain, has so far insisted on not using electric lights, maintaining the "quiet and inaction" of the Buddha's clean ground. The monastery under the protection of the millennium cedar tree was once the royal monastery of the Dali State in Nanxun. The ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty Kublaiping Yunnan were retained here. In 1253, Kublai accepted the surrender of the last Dali State's main Duan Xingzhi. Here you can also see the "epidemic spring" that has rescued the plague in Dali many times, the big bronze bell cast in the Ming Dynasty, and the legendary martial monks in the temple...

Wuwei Temple, there were ten Dali emperors who shaved their families here. It is a thousand-year-old temple. Because it is not an attraction, there are fewer tourists and it is very clean. The natural environment is particularly good. The water of the epidemic spring is a mountain spring, and many locals come to fetch water. The fast food here is free but needs to be booked one day in advance. Highly recommended ha

The Sansheng Pagoda Temple has arrived a few kilometers in the past. This is in the middle of Cangshan Mountain and there is a parking lot at the door. The bus only goes to Wuwei Temple Station under the mountain. Wuwei Temple is a relatively old temple. There are many foreigners who practice meditation here. The Dali Guo Temple in Tianlong Babu is also here.

The most pleasant surprise around the Bohai Sea is to find Wuwei Temple, hidden and quiet, most in line with my imagination of the temple, close and mysterious, not stained with too much commercial atmosphere. The Duan Yu and Duan Zhengxuan in Jin Yong's writings we are familiar with are all in this empty door. Only at the entrance of the temple, I faintly smelled the fragrance. There were two osmanthus trees at the entrance of the temple, which opened in mid-Autumn Festival. There was a gentle shami who greeted us to eat moon cakes for Bodhisattvas on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and there was mountain spring water sanding through the stone steps. This place in Cangshan is a good place for pure souls to find true me.

Drive up the mountain, there is a sign on the roadside that says Wuwei Temple parking lot, in fact, there are still a few miles of mountain road from the temple, continue to have a fire level up the mountain, register the identity, vehicle information, and then walk about a mile. Wuwei Temple was built in Tang Zhenguan for nine years (793 AD), Kaishan ancestor Zantuo is more of the West Tianzhu monk, from the Tianzhu to Lingqi Mountain when Nanzhang, Jiemao repaired in Lanfeng Xiage Laoya. The monastery was built, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped on the empty and sang a song: there is nothing for nothing, there is no shore, living in Longyuan, the heart of the other shore. So the temple was named Wuwei Temple. In the Dali period, the king heard the scriptures, shaved the family practice and the royal children practice dance sacred place, Dali 22 emperors, ten emperors from this family as monks. In addition to the emperor, there are 15 royal children from the Duanshi family to the Wuwei Temple, which is rare in the world. The famous section of the story known as the section and the famous section (Duan Zhengyan), which is widely known for the story of the "Tianlong Eight Parts", is the famous Wuwei Temple in history. In the fifteen years of Ming Hongwu (1382 AD), Ming Taizu Pingyi, Dali Duan ended his rule by the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, Wuwei Temple still has a strong reputation, not only Zen martial monks, but also because of the special political and historical background at that time, Wuwei Temple has become a lot of famous talents and high monks, often gathered here. Especially worth mentioning is that after the Emperor Zhu Yunxu fled to Yunnan, he also once hid to Wuwei Temple. There is a huge cedar tree directly opposite the entrance of the temple. It is said that the ancestor of the temple in the Tang Dynasty, Zantuo Rongduo, brought the seed from the Tianzhu (India), planted here with the king's exodus. An ancient tree is lush and lush, after the wind and rain, stands here, watching the temple rise and fall and rejuvenate. Now it is the treasure of the temple. I met the abbot and the guests to enter the temple. Mr. Xiong said that he had walked through so many temples. It was the first time he saw many international friends in the Tibetan Jing Pavilion in the abbot Temple. It is said that there are young people from all over the world who worship the teacher here to learn art and martial arts. I took a look at the photos of Xiwu. Their martial arts place has to climb the mountain for about an hour to arrive, we have not visited the tight schedule.

Very worth visiting! A good place to calm down! Wuwei Temple is located in the east end of Lanfeng, Cangshan Mountain, five kilometers away from the north gate of the ancient city, second only to the three towers of Dali Chongsheng Temple. Wuwei Temple has a heavy history and culture, because it is a concept of doing nothing, and it is also a royal temple, and it is a noble position.
