Amazing temple, in a great location. Don't miss it if you happen to be in the area. Incredible energy still present after 1500 years, highly recomended if you love buddhism, meditation and oriental philosophies. Visited in May 2016 , I would love to go back one day

Absolutely worth a visit. Bring your camera and a bottle water. Be mindful of the morals and beliefs that are still a strong virtue here (such as not stepping on the doorways (step over)). Take your time to read the information boards available to learn deep history. Only a few RMB to enter. If driving, recommend you tell security you are staying at the hotel just up the road and then walk, as opposed to walking all the way up the mountain road (my local contacts did this). In the summer time it is best to go in the morning due to heat.

The Tiantai sect is the first Chinese Buddhist sect to evolve from the original Buddhism after it was spread to China. Its founder, Master Zhizhe, lived on Mount Tiantai in Zhejiang for a long time - hence the name Tiantai sect。 From there, the Tiantai sect of Buddhism spread to both Korea and Japan during the Tang Dynasty 。

Awesome. Simply awesome, this is a must see.

very nice

(Translated by Google) I must have been to this place four times... I heard that the Five Hundred Arhats here are fighting against the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva on Mount Putuo~ 🤭🤭🤭 Tiantai Mountain Guoqing Temple is a Buddhist temple located at the foothills of Tiantai Mountain in the north of Tiantai County, Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. It was built in the Sui Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,400 years. It is the ancestral hall of the Tiantai Sect of Chinese Buddhism and the Tiantai Sect of Japanese Buddhism. The temple was built in the 18th year of the founding of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty (598). It was first named Tiantai Temple. Later, it was renamed Guoqing Temple because "if the temple is completed, the country will be clear". The temple covers an area of ​​73,000 square meters. The existing building was rebuilt by imperial decree in the 12th year of Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1734). After Master Zhizhe established his teachings in Tiantai Mountain, he stipulated that the Bon Dharma Ceremony be held every year in various temples and nunneries. The time is from the ninth to the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, a total of seven days. I thought it was a way to repay my parents for their kindness in raising me, and also to extend my life. At that time, believers from home and abroad gathered, numbering in the thousands. During the Dharma Assembly, the leader of the group lectures on the Ullambana Sutra in the Miaofa Hall every morning for about 2 hours. Tiantai Mountain (Tiantai Sect) practices based on the Lotus Sutra ~ The Great Compassion Repentance Ritual and the Fasting Heaven Ritual... were also edited by Master Wise Man (Original) 來這個地方應該有四次了⋯⋯ 聽說這裡的 五百羅漢 就是跟 普陀山的觀音菩薩 鬥法力的地方～ 🤭🤭🤭 天臺山國清寺是一所佛教寺院，位於中國浙江台州天臺縣城北天臺山麓，建成於隋代，已有一千四百多年歷史，乃中國佛教天臺宗和日本佛教天臺宗的祖庭。該寺始建於隋文帝開皇十八年（598年），初名天臺寺，後取「寺若成，國即清」，改名為國清寺。寺廟占地面積7.3萬平方米。現存建築為清雍正十二年（1734年）奉敕重修。 智者大師在天台山開宗立說後，規定每年在各寺院庵堂舉行盂蘭盆法會。時間是農曆七月初九至十五，共7天。以為報父母養育之恩，亦求延年益壽。時國內外信徒雲集，可達數千人。法會期間，每天上午由首座在妙法堂講盂蘭盆經，約2小時。 天台山（天台宗）以 法華經 為依據修持～ 大悲懺儀、齋天儀軌⋯⋯也是 智者大師 編輯而成的

(Translated by Google) Guoqing Lecture Temple means that there are lectures in the temple. The 5 yuan ticket has not changed for decades, and in recent years it has even been canceled to free admission. During the epidemic period, you can enter after registering personal information and taking a temperature check with a bright code. Sui Tower and Sui Mei should be the most well-known labels, the only ones in China. (Original) 国清讲寺的意思是指寺内是在讲课的。5元的门票几十年没有变，最近几年甚至取消为免费参观了。疫情期间登记个人信息加上亮码测温后就可入内。隋塔和隋梅应该是最知名的标签，国内仅有。

(Translated by Google) The water in this pool is called Longtan. Scientific researchers have penetrated more than 40 meters into the water and still cannot find the bottom, and there are derived caves. The negative ion content here is also very high. Although I am tired after the climb, I think it is worth it. It is recommended to walk from top to bottom. Because some sections of the road are steep, the car is arranged to connect on the other side. (Original) 此潭水名為龍潭，科研人員深入水底超過40米深仍然未見底部，而且有衍生的洞穴。這裡的負離子含量也特別高，爬完雖然累，但是覺得很值得，建議由上而下行走，因為部份路段陡峭，車子就安排在另一邊接駁。
