Jade Buddha Temple

Closest subway station: Changshou road (line 7) + ~10-15mins walk. What to expect- Quite a gorgeous temple! It is a very short visit though (About 30mins or so). It is quite close to another temple (Jing’an temple). I rode a bike from Jade temple to the other. I’d recommend visit both on the same day. I’d say it’s a fun visit but not a “must”. If you have time, go for it! #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Shanghai Jade Buddha Temple

Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is the time to visit, to worship Buddha, eat vegetarian meals, chat with Master Meow, and remember to touch the pink toad for good fortune and luck Is stamp collecting trendy now ? The queue for stamp collecting in the temple can go round and round... Basically, there are always a lot of people queuing for vegetarian meals in the temple every day, so we usually walk out the main gate to Shaanxi North Road to 'Jade Buddha Temple Vegetarian'. There is a sign for 'Jade Buddha Temple Vegetarian', and there aren't as many people queuing here. They offer several meal sets and healthy hot pots, and the stir-fried noodles are also very tasty. Many people come here for a work lunch on weekdays, so there are quite a few people, but definitely not as many as inside the temple. Jade Buddha Zen Temple

Why do the unemployed in Shanghai like to flock to the Jade Buddha Temple?

The Jade Buddha Temple is one of the three great ancient temples of Shanghai, along with Jing'an Temple and Longhua Temple. It is located on Anyuan Road in the bustling Putuo District, surrounded by roads and residential buildings, truly a rare sanctuary in the midst of the hustle and bustle! A netizen living in Zhongshan Park said that when he was unemployed, he liked to go to the Jade Buddha Temple to pray because it houses a jade reclining Buddha, and 'reclining Buddha' sounds like 'offer', right? After some research, I found that the Jade Buddha Temple, established in 1882, was named after two jade Buddhas brought back from Burma by the monk Huigen during his travels to Southeast Asia, one sitting and one reclining. Indeed, the pronunciation of 'reclining Buddha' is somewhat similar to the English word 'offer', which explains why some people think of coming here to seek good fortune. Moreover, the division of roles among Shanghai's temples is quite clear in people's minds. For example, Jing'an Temple, with the word 'peace' in its name, is considered suitable for praying for peace, while Longhua Temple, with the grand 'hua' in its name, is considered suitable for seeking fame and fortune. The Jade Buddha Temple, with the 'jade' in its name, symbolizes both wealth and good marriage prospects, making it suitable for praying for wealth and marriage. For those without a stable income, the desire for wealth is undoubtedly more urgent. Furthermore, since last June, the Jade Buddha Temple has been free to enter without a ticket or reservation except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, so there is no financial expenditure involved in visiting, naturally making it more popular. Lastly, the scenery inside the Jade Buddha Temple is indeed beautiful. With its strict layout, architecture that respects the old while blending the new, and an atmosphere of tranquility amidst the noise, it is suitable for helping people alleviate their anxious emotions. For those who are in a low period, this is undoubtedly a good remedy, because the more one is in adversity, the more one needs to remain calm and polish one's resilience, thus accumulating strength for a timely rebound in the future! Tagore said, 'The world afflicts me with pain, but I reply with songs.' Life is not easy, but I hope everyone can face it positively~
