Zhao Liying's same model Zen temple! There's a beauty that seems not of this world

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi have both come to this ancient temple for Zen meditation It's so low-key that few people reach it, located at the top of the mountain on the northwest corner of Tiantai Mountain After a winding mountain road with eighteen turns, there's still a short dirt path to reach it Tongxuan Temple was founded in the first year of Tianfu of the Later Jin Dynasty (936 AD) It is the first ancient temple created by the great master Deshao of the Fayan sect of Buddhism during the Five Dynasties period on Tiantai Mountain Arriving at sunset, met a few enthusiastic dogs in the temple The Zen rooms of the ancient temple truly embody the saying 'A winding path leads to a secluded spot, where the Zen rooms are deep amidst flowers and trees' The frozen greenery under the setting sun shines like crystals❄️ The Zen courtyard, still not free from snow, has a beauty that seems not of this world No wonder the master, facing such scenery, spontaneously recited the Zen verse: 'At the peak of Tongxuan, it is not the human world, outside the heart there is no dharma, only green mountains fill the eyes.'🍃 Meditating, walking dogs, ringing bells, stealing a moment of leisure at Tongxuan Temple, slow down to feel the morning and evening bells, the sunrise and sunset, experience the passage of time while maintaining inner peace, and enjoy the selfless freedom. After all, the ultimate coolness is Tongxuan.🍵
