Do you know where the "poorest temple in China" is?

  In that vast landscape, there is a unique temple hidden, that is, Dabei Temple in Haicheng, Liaoning. In this noisy materialistic era, this is a pure land, a quiet pure land, but also a place that makes people feel deeply. Dabei Temple, an obscure name, carries the persistence and practice of the abbot Master Miao Xiang for more than 20 years. After leaving the army, he was originally a pharmacist, but by chance, he chose to enter Buddhism and become a monk. From then on, he began his "walking" career, sleeping all the way, without a penny, relying on begging for food to make a living. I'm afraid this kind of life is hard to imagine for mortals, but for Master Miao Xiang, it is a kind of practice and a baptism of the soul.

  Master Miao Xiang's behavior is not only a tempering of the heart, but also an awakening of the secular. On the way, he was rejected and pushed. However, he never complained with resentment, but smiled and said to all beings, "Don't hate yourself, or your merits will burn out!" This kind of realm is admirable and lamentable. After three years of seclusion, Master Miao Xiang became the abbot of Dabei Temple, a temple that was once full of secular merit boxes. However, at the beginning of his tenure, Master Miao Xiang resolutely cleared all the merit boxes in the temple and even stipulated that "no money is allowed". Such a decision, for Dabei Temple, means that there is no more profitable channel, but for Master Miao Xiang, it is to let himself and his disciples really move towards the path of practice. With the insistence of Master Miao Xiang, Dabei Temple has become a real pure land. There is no commercial atmosphere in the temple, no tickets, and even a "no travel" sign. This is a quiet and peaceful place. People come here, not for the sake of prosperity and noise, but to find inner peace and tranquility. With the popularity of Dabei Temple, there are also some criticisms and doubts. For Master Miao Xiang and Dabei Temple, all these are like a breeze blowing on your face, without moving your mind. They are well aware of their initial intentions, and they also know that the hustle and bustle of the world can't shake their pace of practice. Every day, Master Miao Xiang and his disciples face the tests of life with a peaceful mind. They get up at two o'clock in the morning, meditate and recite scriptures, and practice constantly. They explained what a true man of practice is with practical actions.They infected everyone who came here with inner peace.
