A thousand prayers lead to a thousand distances, and the sea of suffering often becomes a boat for those who cross

The Law Rain Temple on Mount Putuo is a representative of the royal temples, and the Nine Dragons Hall is the only surviving Ming Dynasty palace building. Master Hongyi, Li Shutong, once practiced here, leaving behind the calligraphy of 'Heavenly Flower Law Rain'. This legendary figure, born into the wealthiest family in Tianjin, was erudite and talented, achieving extraordinary accomplishments in literature, music, fine arts, calligraphy, seal carving, and drama. At the age of 39, he renounced his family and turned to Buddhism, devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, promoted the Vinaya school, and became the 13th patriarch of the Vinaya sect. His classic lyric 'Farewell' has been sung for over a century and remains enduring. This temple bears witness to the master's legendary life and is worth a visit! 'Farewell' Beyond the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the fragrant grass reaches up to the blue sky. The evening breeze caresses the willows, the flute's sound fades, the sunset is beyond the mountains. The edge of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of my dear friends are lost. A pot of muddy wine finishes the remaining joy, tonight's dreams are cold. Beyond the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the fragrant grass reaches up to the blue sky. I ask you when you will return, do not hesitate when the time comes. The edge of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of my dear friends are lost. It's rare to have joyful gatherings in life, only farewells are frequent.
