Shanghai Jade Buddha Temple

The Jade Buddha Temple is one of Shanghai's most important temples, enjoying enduring popularity and widespread worship. It boasts a great location in the city center, convenient transportation, and nearby parking for those driving. The ambiance is pleasant, spacious, and elegant. There's also a vegetarian restaurant, which is quite large, but customers are expected to find their own seats. The vegetarian noodles and mooncakes are also quite delicious.

Walking into Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple, it seems to have stepped into a pure land in a busy city. The monastery, named for its service to two Jade Buddhas, was founded in Qingguangxu eight years (1882), and was created by Putuo Mountain Huigen mage after returning to Myanmar from Myanmar. Stepping into the temple, the first to see the Temple of the Tenno, the four major Tennos in the temple are powerful and majestic, and the Hufaweeduo holds a diamond, which is solemn. Along the central axis, it is the Grand Palace of the Great Hall. The temple is dedicated to the three golden Buddhas. The solemnity of the law is awe-inspiring. The most shocking is the Jade Buddha Building. The Jade Buddha sitting upstairs is carved from a whole piece of white jade, high1.95 meters, weighing about a ton, the surface is covered with gold foil, and the stone is set, which is the treasure of the town temple. The Jade Buddha has a kind face and a serene appearance, as if talking about a hundred years of peace and peace. The Jade Buddha Temple is not only a holy place for Buddhism, but also a place of spiritual habitat. Here, people can copy scriptures and feel the peace and tranquility of their hearts. This century-old temple attracts countless followers and tourists with its deep historical heritage and unique Buddhist culture.

Buy cultural and creative products! Personally, I think the cultural and creative products on the right hand side of the entrance are the best!!! Although it is indeed not cheap, there is no admission fee and incense and flower coupons. People like me don’t buy incense or anything else, so buying some cultural and creative products can be considered a disguised merit, hahahaha~ The perspective formed by the caisson + ceiling + Buddha statue in the main hall is great~ There is a jade Buddha in the last courtyard, and the temple is named after it, so it is worth seeing. The temple cat is also cute. Although it ignores us, it has cultural and creative products~

[tips]You can visit for free and worship Buddha. You can donate money in cash or scan the QR code on WeChat. There is a QR code on the front of the box for money. It is so up-to-date, so you don't need to carry cash with you. [Recommendation] It is free, no tickets are required, and the place is not small. It is cost-effective and you can worship Buddha and pray for blessings. There are many halls here, and each building is connected by corridors, so you won't get wet in the rain🌧. It happened to rain on the day I went there. I saw the rain under the eaves falling through the lotus-shaped decorations, which felt ingenious. In addition, I went there before the college entrance examination, and I found that there were rituals inside to pray for the candidates. It was amazing. [tips]I found that there were not only many Chinese people, but also many foreigners who came to visit.

The Year of the Ox is my zodiac year, which is the year of Tai Sui. I asked my colleagues how to worship Tai Sui. I got up early today to burn incense at the Jade Buddha Temple. Now you need to scan the code to make an appointment online to enter the temple during off-peak hours. You also need to provide a travel code and take your temperature. Fortunately, there were volunteers in front of the temple gate to guide me. I finally got through one by one and bought a ticket to enter the temple. The weather was fine and the believers worshipped Buddha and burned incense in an orderly manner. It happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you can get a flower to offer to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and follow the staff's instructions to go around the halls clockwise. A bouquet of fragrance to worship the gods, a flower to offer to the Bodhisattva, and pray: good weather, good health, and peace and happiness for the country, and the elimination of epidemics and disasters!
