Tanzhe Temple prays, Beijing seems to be no longer cold these days, and there are so many people who come here to pray. Tanzhe Temple is relatively close to the urban area of Beijing, it is the earliest temple built after the introduction of Buddhist culture to Beijing, so Beijingers seem to love it even more, and incense is very popular all year round. Even I come several times a year, to see Erqiao Magnolia in spring, to hike and relax in summer, to admire the thousand-year-old ginkgo in autumn, and to bring blessings home in winter.
Pray as you wish, put incense, hang blessing lamps, ring bells to pray, and the temple will also have blessing characters for tourists. Pray for a smooth and healthy new year! There may also be some activities such as games during the Spring Festival.

In fact, there is a larger pot, in the north room of the east span courtyard, the porridge can be cooked 10 stones of rice at a time, and it takes 16 hours to cook. Because the pot has a thick bottom and simmers slowly, the porridge is sticky and fragrant. Regarding these two pots, there is also the saying of "spilling sand without leaking rice", it turns out that there is a "sand holding vessel" at the bottom of the pot, and with the continuous stirring of porridge, the sand and gravel will sink into the depression at the bottom of the pot.
