Welcome to Tianning Temple.
In his poem "Jiangnan Spring quatrains", Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty,said, "in the Southern Dynasties, 480 temples, how many buildings are in themisty rain.". Although he described Jinling at that time, in fact, there weremany temples and buildings in the eastern suburbs of Changzhou. With the changesof the times, many temples and Taoist temples have long been extinct. OnlyTianning Temple has been prosperous for more than 1300 years. She has manystrange and interesting things. If you want to know the details, please come tothe scene and listen to me one by one.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at this magnificent building complex of fanyulinpalace, which is the famous Tianning Temple. Together with Jinshan Temple inZhenjiang, Tiantong temple in Ningbo and Gaosi temple in Yangzhou, they areknown as the four great jungles in Southeast China.

Xiangjiao refers to Buddhism. Now let's go to the temple ofheavenly kings to meet the four heavenly kings.

They protect one side of the world from interference or infringement. Itsimage is basically consistent with the expression, magic and supernatural powerof magic sea, magic green, magic red and magic longevity described in Chapter 40of the classical novel Fengshen romance. The objects they hold in their handsare called "magic weapons", which are used to suppress demons and eliminate evilspirits, subdue hostility, and ensure the stability of the country and thepeople. Wind refers to the edge of the sword to protect all living beings; tunerefers to the pipa to educate and delight the people with music; rain refers tothe umbrella to subdue the demons; Shun refers to the dragon to maintainstability and protect world peace.
Stepping out of the Tianwang hall, it is a quadrangle courtyard in theshape of "Tian". The two Luohan halls are divided into four side halls: Manjusrihall, Puxian hall, Guanyin hall and dizang hall. These four Bodhisattvas aremolded into one temple, and each of them lives in its own temple, whichsymbolizes the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism: Mount Wutai in Shanxi,Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, and Mount Jiuhua in efore, Buddhist believers believe that those who have visited TianningTemple are like those who have visited the four great Foshan.
The Arhats in the eastern and Western chambers of the arhat hall aredivided into four rows, each of which is about one meter tall and covered ingold. Please pay attention: there are two distinguished guests in Luohan hall,Ji Dian and crazy monk.
Changzhou Tianning Temple also has two astronomical scientific instruments,which are unique in temples all over the world. It is placed on both sides ofthe Danlong Hall of the main hall. In the East, it looks like a stone tablet,standing vertically is called "face East-West sundial"; in the west, it lookslike a table, lying flat is called "plane sundial".
Now, please go to the most majestic Temple of Tianning Temple, Daxionghall. I don't want to elaborate. I just want to talk about the fivecharacteristics of the main hall: high, thick, many, strange and clever.
Now, please move to the back of the main hall and pay homage to the paintedsculpture Island Guanyin. This large group of painted sculptures is commonlyknown as "Wanghai Guanyin". The central figure of the group is Guanyin standingon the top of the group with bare feet. She holds Yang Zhijing's water bottle,which is filled with magic nectar to save people from all kinds of diseases,showing the demeanor of "universal salvation". On the left, the Dragon girl isstanding with the jewels in her hands; on the right, the boy of good fortune ispaying homage to Guanyin. On the left side of Guanyin is Manjusri Bodhisattvariding a green lion, and on the right side is Puxian Bodhisattva riding a whiteelephant. The highest place is the one meter high "Prince of snow mountain",which is the scene of Sakyamuni's six-year hard work on snow mountain.
Tianning Temple also has jade Buddha and bronze Buddha from Myanmar andThailand. It has a new releasing pool built in 1990. Now it has a 13 storeyTianning pagoda behind the temple. The chanting of Buddhist Chants by the monksof Tianning Temple was performed in Jinjing, which is also highly respected inHong Kong and Chinese Taiwan.
