Liankaijing Temple, located one kilometer south of Nanxiong City, is one of the largest Nepalese jungles in northern Guangdong. Liankaijing Temple, formerly known as Lianshe Temple, was created by Master Nianchun in Ming Dynasty. According to the Records of Nanxiong Prefecture in Zhili, Lianshe Temple, qinglian temple, Xinglong Temple and Dushan Temple are all in Shuinan Village. Among these temples, Lianhe Temple is the most important. Built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, there were more than 100 people living there, and the incense was strong. At that time, it was a famous Buddhist shrine in the county and a famous temple in Lingnan. With the change of history, this temple has declined to the end of people. Monks were separated during the Anti-Japanese War. In the 1950s, the temple was just a ruin, and with several tall and straight trees, the Buddha statue disappeared. Gradually become a nursery.
Since the reform and opening up, a religious policy has been implemented. 1994, Nanxiong municipal government invited the old monk Ben Huan, a contemporary Zen master, to initiate reconstruction, and appointed his disciples Yin Xian and Dunyong to build it, which was strongly supported by the government and Shifang Shanxin. By 19991February, it was fully completed, with a construction area of more than 8,000 square meters and a cost of more than 25 million yuan. According to the principle of proportion between reality and reality, multiple symmetry and convenient activities, it is beneficial to practice. Its architectural style is a combination of ancient architecture and garden architecture. Its overall layout is centered on the Hall of the Great Hero, with the mountain gate, the Heavenly King Hall, the Hall of the Great Hero, the Dharma Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Building as the central axis. It adopts the layout of four entrances and three courtyards, with Guanyin Hall, Dizang Hall, Ancestral Hall, Galapagos Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Buddhist Hall, Gongde Hall, Zhaitang, Guest Hall and Academic Affairs Office on both sides. The whole temple is surrounded by a wall. The architectural features are the frame structure with steel instead of wood, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and arches, and Zhu Wa, which fully show the breath of Buddhist culture. The unveiling ceremony of the Buddha statue was held in the rebuilt Liankaijing Temple in 200 1 year1October. Over the years, the temple has been adhering to the style of Zude, living in summer and becoming a Buddha in winter. He advocated the aim of "keeping precepts as the foundation and returning to the pure land" and founded the Lotus Zhong Ni Buddhist College last spring, aiming at training monks. There are more than 50 monks in the college and more than 80 permanent residents in Nepal. In the management of talented monks, we strictly abide by the ancient learning system in the jungle: going to the temple, attending class, chanting, attending classes, going out of the slope and so on. And take the life education of monks as law, combined with modern classroom education. The college specially invited four masters who graduated from Minnan Buddhist College as lecturers and offered a series of compulsory teaching courses. In order to improve the teaching quality, in addition, the academy has also set up courses such as art, calligraphy and selected reading of ancient works. So as to improve the level of ancient Chinese reading, calligraphy writing and appreciation of monks. Make the trained monks pay equal attention to their studies and become qualified monks in the new century. And set up a [Lian Kai Buddhist Lecture] to teach Buddhist knowledge to believers at home every Sunday.
Nowadays, the Liankaijing Temple, which is dominated by light, is not what it used to be, and the overall building is more magnificent. Under the unified management of Master Dunyong in the prison, the monks in the whole temple strictly abide by the precepts, such as Dharma. I believe that with the strong support and concern of the governments at all levels in Nanxiong, the management and construction of Jingsi Temple in Lian Kai will be more perfect, and legal activities will be carried out more smoothly. At present, a young temple with beautiful environment, fresh air, beautiful scenery and lush flowers and plants is presented to people. She will work with people to make due contributions to the revival of China.
