Lingyin Temple was built during the Eastern Jin period, the first year of Ham Hoa (326 CE). From that time until now, 1681 years of mainland Chinese history have passed. This is not only a highly historical temple but also has a prime location on a charming mountain river. Near the pagoda area there is a lake and in the middle are rolling hills and mountains. Therefore, this place has long been "favored" by many Central kings as well as officials and people. This is also the reason why when Su Dongpo worked as a governor in Hangzhou - Zhejiang, he often came here to enjoy, drink tea and write poetry. Linh An Temple is open almost every day and there is an entrance fee. So you can choose any time of year to visit and explore. However, because the terrain here is located in the valley of a mountain, surrounded by trees, mountains, and lakes,... When traveling, you should choose clothes that are both comfortable and safe. The fine customs and traditions of the pagoda - a sacred place of worship. Wearing sneakers instead of high heels or sandals... will be more convenient for walking.

Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, backed by Beigao Peak and facing Feilai Peak. It was founded in the first year of the Xianhe era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD), and the founding patriarch of Lingyin Temple was the Western Indian monk Huili. During the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty granted land and expanded the temple. During the Five Dynasties, King Qian Lou of Wuyue commanded the invitation of Master Yongming Yanshou to revive and expand the temple, and bestowed the name Lingyin Xin Temple. In the Jiading era of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Lingyin Temple was acclaimed as one of the 'Five Mountains' of Chan Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, the Chan Buddhism master Ju De lived in Lingyin and raised funds for reconstruction. Lingyin Temple is one of the earliest existing Buddhist temples in Hangzhou, and there is a saying among the people: One must visit West Lake when coming to Hangzhou, and one must go to Lingyin when visiting West Lake, and one cannot miss the Lingjiu Peak (Feilai Peak) when at Lingyin. This is because the origin of this Buddhist country in the southeast, which has continued for more than 1600 years, is Lingjiu Peak, which is said to have flown from distant India. According to records, in 326 AD, the first year of the Xianhe era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an ancient Indian monk came to Hangzhou. When he reached the Wulin Mountains west of West Lake, he pointed to a small mountain and exclaimed: This is a ridge of our Indian Lingjiu Mountain, I wonder when it flew here, and said, during the Buddha's lifetime, this ridge was a place where celestial beings lived in seclusion, I wonder if it is still the same now. The ancient Indian monk was named Huili, historically known as the Indian monk, and the ridge where the celestial beings lived in seclusion that Huili spoke of is today's Lingjiu Peak of Lingyin Temple, also known as Feilai Peak. In the Buddhist scriptures, Lingjiu Mountain is a sacred place where the Buddha often gathered disciples for cultivation and preached in his later years. Regarding the arrival of Lingjiu Mountain, Master Ju De, a patriarch of Lingyin Temple from the late Ming to early Qing dynasty, once said: The World-Honored One preached for 49 years, discussed the scriptures in more than 330 meetings, and at the end, in the assembly at Vulture Peak, in front of a million followers, he entrusted the Flower Sermon to Venerable Kashyapa, who smiled in transmission, and the great Dharma came eastward, thus this mountain had come to the land of Zhen Dan in anticipation. Thus, the arrival of Feilai Peak is indeed not without reason. This is the Western Paradise, and the Western Paradise is here. Perhaps this is the origin of the phrase 'a stone's throw to the Western Paradise'. It is said that after Master Huili discovered Feilai Peak, he stayed and often practiced at Yan Zuo Rock (Li Gong Rock), and soon after, Master Huili built 5 temples along the banks of Wulin Water near Feilai Peak. One of them was named Lingyin, indicating that there were celestial beings living in seclusion here. According to records, after the construction of the 5 temples, Master Huili retreated into the deep mountains and never left Wulin for the rest of his life.

🌸 Off to Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple! My grandmother and mother have both reminded me of many little details to be aware of, and now I'm sharing them with you all, hoping that we can all achieve what we desire and have continuous good fortune! 🙏 🙏 Incense Offering Tips Prepare some paper money and coins, paper money goes into the merit box 💰, and coins into the wishing well 🪣, symbolizing a rolling influx of wealth. Remember to wear long sleeves and pants, paired with a pair of comfortable shoes 👟, as there's quite a bit of walking to do, and we want to worship Buddha comfortably 🙇. Before entering Lingyin Temple, remember to buy tickets for Feilai Peak 🎫 and for Lingyin Temple 🎫. You can purchase Feilai Peak tickets online, but Lingyin Temple tickets can only be bought offline. You don't need to buy incense at the entrance 🔥, as everyone will be given some, isn't that considerate! When entering the temple, remember not to step on the threshold 🚫, women should step over with their left foot first, and men with their right foot. Keep calm and composed, and feel the tranquility 🌈. 📸 Photography Tips When taking photos, remember not to capture images of the Buddha statues 🙅, to maintain the solemnity and respect of the temple 🙌. 💫 Wishing Secrets When offering incense, use your left hand ✋, and if there's a flame 🔥, don't blow it out with your mouth, but let it extinguish naturally by waving it up and down, this shows more sincerity 🙏. When making a wish, announce your personal details 🗣️, like your name, birth time, where you're from, and what you're wishing for. This way, the Buddha can hear your wishes more accurately! 🏮 Temple Pilgrimage Faxi Temple is a great place to pray for relationships 💑, and for wealth, you can go to the God of Wealth Temple 💰. Oh right, at the entrance of the God of Wealth Temple, you can buy an 18-bead bracelet 📿️, which is said to be worn on the left hand for the first three days, and it shouldn't get wet! 🗺️ Itinerary Recommendation I recommend arranging your itinerary like this: first go to the God of Wealth Temple 💰, then to Lingyin Temple 🏯, and finally to Faxi Temple 🏮 to make a wish. If your wish comes true, remember to come back to fulfill your vow! 🙏 🚡 Ways to Go Up and Down the Mountain The first way: go to the 'North Peak Cable Car Ticket Office' 🏔️, there's a fork in the road where you can climb the mountain 🧗‍♀️, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the God of Wealth Temple. It's about a 10-minute walk down the mountain, and you'll see a ticket booth 🎫, which is the entrance to the Feilai Peak scenic area 🏞️. The second way: take the cable car directly 🚡, it costs 30 yuan per person to go up the mountain, and 20 yuan per person to come down. If you choose to take the cable car up 🚡, you can take the cable car directly from the God of Wealth Temple to Lingyin Temple 🏯 when coming down. However, the cable car is very popular, so it's recommended to go early! 🌞 Finally, I wish everyone can break free from confusion 🌈, may all your wishes come true 🌟, and sincerity leads to miracles! ✨🙏🌼
