The winding canals of Changzhou are intertwined with ancient streets and alleys, and the colorful gardens and beautiful landscapes complement each other. Changzhou is an ancient city in Jiangnan with a long history. With a history of over 7000 years of agricultural civilization, over 3200 years of written records, and over 2560 years of land construction, Changzhou has become a place full of stories.
Nowadays, Changzhou has developed into a metropolis, carrying the glory of industry, culture, tourism, and culture. As a central hub city in Jiangsu, Changzhou has developed rapidly in transportation, commerce, and industry, becoming a representative of modern cities. The beautiful title of livable city and Changle state makes people yearn for it. The most distinctive Baolin Temple in Changzhou is worth mentioning. Baolin Temple is located in the western corner of the Yancheng Site in Wujin District, Jiangsu Province. The ancient and young Baolin Zen Temple boasts a picturesque water town scenery, with a clear water flowing through the Baolin River surrounding the temple.
People can only enter the perfect fusion of the ten directions through the five white jade bridges of Baolin, Fude, Da Ci, Da Compassion, and Wisdom. The courtyard is lined with green trees, pink walls, and temples, creating a magnificent Buddhist painting. On the central axis, there are towering walls, archways, Zhengshan Gate, Tianwang Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Jialan Hall, and Ancestral Hall. The the Shakya ManiHall is more than 20 meters high, nine rooms 40 meters wide, and 30 meters deep from north to south; The Guanyin Pavilion is located five acres away, nearly a hundred meters high, like a pure lotus in bud. There is a Guanyin Bodhisattva with three sides and ten directions enshrined on the pavilion. Guanyin Bodhisattva is a great Bodhisattva of Mahayana Buddhism, possessing a compassionate heart, able to listen to the voice and save suffering, leading the Saha sentient beings to break away from the suffering and evil in the world, and pursue the wisdom of life. For two thousand years, the Guanyin faith has spread throughout various Asian countries and even reached the Western world, becoming the most brilliant flower in the human religious world, especially in regions such as India, Southeast Asia, and Tibet in China, where unique Guanyin faith cultures have been displayed. Our goal is to restore Baolin Temple to the fundamental realm of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the belief realm of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the center of practice for Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
