A Few Visits to Jiuhuashan, Extraordinary. Very Spiritual, but Here's What You Need to Know!

Jiuhuashan is located in Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, and is one of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism⛰️ (the bodhimanda of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva). But did you know all of this? 1️⃣In Buddhism, the threshold represents Buddha's shoulders. Don't step on it, step over it. When entering, remember to step with your left foot first. 2️⃣Don't take photos inside the halls, and don't photograph Buddha. Taking photos is like inviting Buddha back home, requiring offerings. 3️⃣Light incense outside the hall. After lighting, you can extinguish it with your hand, but don't blow it out with your mouth. Each hall here offers three sticks of incense, and children use only one. 4️⃣When worshipping Buddha, worship the main hall first, then clockwise from east to west, worship in each of the four directions. 5️⃣Light the incense with your left hand and offer it with both hands. If your wish comes true, remember to come back and fulfill your vow. 6️⃣Dress neatly and appropriately. Long pants and long sleeves are recommended. Do not wear hats. 7️⃣Touching Buddha's feet is at the 99-meter Kṣitigarbha statue staircase in the Great Wish Culture Park. There are signs. Remember to go up before 4:50 pm, otherwise, you won't be allowed. 8️⃣If you want to collect stamps, you can go to the Baisui Palace. Walking takes a long time. The cable car is 100 yuan per person round trip. Remember to bring blank items for stamping. Each stamp is a 10 yuan meritorious deed. 9️⃣You must visit the Hall of the Incorruptible Body. Every time I go, I feel like I've released some negative energy. Finally, I wish every fellow practitioner who goes to Jiuhuashan can have their wishes fulfilled and their grievances resolved. May the ancestors also find peace. Namo Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva🙏🙏🙏
