🕊️ Where Mountains Meet the Dharma – Donglin Temple, Lushan, China

#postandearn 📍 Donglin Temple (东林寺), near the western foot of Mount Lushan, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, Eastern China Donglin Temple is a place where stillness breathes — nestled among misty pine forests and sacred slopes of Mount Lushan, it stands as one of China’s oldest Pure Land Buddhist temples, founded in the 4th century by Master Huiyuan. Here, time slows with the rhythm of bells, incense smoke curls through ancient halls, and the quiet presence of nature becomes part of your prayer. Surrounded by mountain air and lotus ponds, the temple is both a spiritual retreat and a masterpiece of harmony between architecture and landscape. Pilgrims and travelers alike come not just to see, but to feel. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Visit early morning for soft light, less crowd, and peaceful chanting • Best for spiritual seekers, cultural travelers, and lovers of ancient China • Bring respectful clothing — this is still an active place of worship • Combine your visit with nearby Donglin Giant Buddha or a walk through Lushan National Park • Autumn and spring are ideal for both foliage and clarity #DonglinTemple #MountLushan #BuddhistHeritage #AncientTemplesChina #PureLandPath #SpiritualRetreat #JiangxiTravel #SacredChina#历史古迹 #travel #trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip
