Anhui Chizhou | Jiuhua Mountain is a good place for you to cultivate your mind and body

🔥 Have you worshipped Buddha correctly at Jiuhua Mountain? The most complete route and process of worshipping Buddha are here! 🙏 The believers who come to Jiuhua Mountain have a special route and process for offering incense, generally there are two: one is to worship from the foot of the mountain to the top, implying a rise step by step. It all starts from Zhiyuan Temple, which is the first temple to enter the mountain. 🙏 The other is to first go up three incense sticks, and then go to other key temples. The first stick worships the founding temple of Huacheng Temple. The second stick worships the Flesh Hall, this place is the top choice for making a wish. It is said that if the wish is fulfilled, you must come back to fulfill your vow the next year. The third pillar is the Hundred Years Palace, where there is the earliest flesh bodhisattva - Wu Xia monk. In the holy land of Buddhism, it is impossible to worship each one in turn, turning around the Bodhisattva also counts as worship, and the journey of offering incense on Jiuhua Mountain can be completed in three or four hours. 🙏 How to make a wish? Tell Fo Zu what your name is, where you live, what you want, and where you will fulfill your vow after the event. Most people go to the main hall and kowtow to make a wish directly, not knowing that the Bodhisattva has a request and a response, and they don't know which god they are asking for, how can the other party respond? When kowtowing, the palms of your hands must be facing up, and the palms facing down are worshipping ancestors. 🙏 What are the rituals of regular incense offering? Stand outside the hall to offer incense, bow to Buddha three times, and then bow to the four directions clockwise, after the bow, insert the incense into the incense burner with your left hand. It is not allowed to burn high incense on Jiuhua Mountain, and three sticks of incense are provided for free in the key temples. 💫 Must-eat delicacies: stinky mandarin fish, stone ear, dried bamboo shoots and braised pork Three special dishes, the top dish of Huizhou cuisine, stinky mandarin fish, is appetizing for wine and food, and is highly recommended. The tip of the tongue Jiuhua restaurant 138 at the foot of the mountain is 20 yuan cheaper than the mountain. When choosing a restaurant, eat at the one with the most people, and you won't be wrong. The fish bones of the stone pot fish are too dense, and it is not enjoyable to eat. Stone ear, a kind of low-level plant that can strengthen the body, feels that the price is high and it is all hyped up, and the taste is not special. The special product Huang Jing, soaked in water and eaten like barley tea.
