　　Today we are going to visit Nanputuo temple. It has a long history andbegan in the Tang Dynasty. However, because it was destroyed many times andrebuilt many times, the architecture of the whole temple is relatively new.Originally known as "Puzhao Temple", it was destroyed. In the 23rd year ofKangxi reign, general Shi Lang rebuilt the temple here. It was called "NanputuoTemple" because it was the same as Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang Province, and itwas also located in the south of Putuo Mountain. Nanputuo temple was originallythe hereditary leader of Linji sect. In 1924, it was changed into the system ofselecting talents in the jungle. It has been 11 years since then Mr. Ren, thecurrent host is master Shenghui. The architecture of Nanputuo temple is alsounique. Now, let's go to visit it with Xiao Wu. The time we need is one and ahalf hours.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, now please come with me to visit the temple. This isTianwang hall, inscribed by Zhao Puchu, former president of China BuddhistAssociation in 1981. Walking into the king's Hall of this day, Maitreya Buddha'seyebrows, eyes, ear lobes, shoulders, bare chest and navel, smiling, seems to bewaiting for every visitor. Maitreya Buddha was born in India, and later became amonk. The Buddha predicted that he would inherit Sakyamuni as the future Buddha,and become a Buddha under the Longhua tree after 5.766 billion years. It wasdivided into three parts to preach on behalf of Sakyamuni. What we see now isnot Maitreya Buddha in India. In most temples in China, the statue of fatMaitreya with a smile is worshipped. He was a monk of Qiji in the FiveDynasties. Today, he is a native of Fenghua, Ningbo. He often takes a cloth bagand travels around. He is carefree and always persuades people to believe inBuddhism. He is always smiling and kind to others. Therefore, people call him"cloth bag monk". Later, he was in Yuelin temple The stone sits on the groundand says: "Maitreya is true Maitreya, who is divided into tens of billions ofpeople and shows the world all the time. People realize that he is theincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.

　　Behind Maitreya Buddha is Wei Tuo, who holds a Vajra pestle and is the Godof Dharma protection in Buddhism. It is said that if the Vajra pestle that WeiTuo carries in the temple indicates that the temple is a descendant temple. Itis not open to foreign traveling monks. They can eat two meals at most and cannot stay overnight. If Wei Tuo puts the Vajra pestle on his arm, it means thatthe temple is a forest of ten directions, and traveling monks can eat and sleepfor free Wei Tuo raised the Vajra pestle over his forehead, saying that thetemple charged a certain fee for the board and lodging of traveling monks.

　　Nanputuo temple was originally a temple for descendants, so Weituo's Vajrapestle was on the ground, and later it was changed into a ten square jungle.However, this Weituo has not changed its shape. In fact, traveling monks can eatand sleep here for free.
