Meng'ang Buddhist Temple on Bulang Mountain

Meng'ang Buddhist Temple on Bulang Mountain is nestled deep in the tea mountains behind Meng'ang Village, only 800 meters away from the bustling market, yet it feels as if it's situated in another dimension. 'Meng'ang' means beautiful, aptly describing this tranquil and mysterious Buddhist land. The main body of the temple is a golden circular stupa, dazzling and brilliant, like a pearl between heaven and earth. The resplendent main hall shines under the sunlight, while the monks' quarters are neatly arranged, exuding a sense of peace and elegance. The masters here silently guard the temple, day after day, year after year, maintaining the serenity of this pure land with their devotion and perseverance. The Bulang ethnic believers worship devoutly at the temple, come rain or shine, at every meal. They follow Theravada Buddhism and regard this temple as a spiritual haven and a home for their souls. During specific religious ceremonies—'Guo Dan' and 'Di Shui'—the temple becomes lively as believers gather to pray together for world peace and family happiness. However, even during these grand ceremonies, Meng'ang Buddhist Temple on Bulang Mountain still retains its unique tranquility and mystery. The prayers and chanting of the believers echo through the air, as if telling an ancient and profound story.
