Whenever the autumn wind blows gently across this sacred place, clusters of brightly colored red spider lilies quietly bloom in the temple.

In Saga Prefecture, Japan, there are two hidden cultural treasures that people yearn for - Kounen-an and Daxingshan Temple. Although they are not directly connected, they each attract countless tourists and believers with their unique historical heritage, natural beauty, and religious beliefs. This article will take you into these two holy places and feel their charm across time and space. Kounen-an, located in Kanzaki-cho, Kanzaki City, Saga Prefecture, is a garden full of historical charm and wild interest. It was originally the residence of the industrialist Itami Yataro, but in 1900, it was carefully rebuilt by the Jodo Shinshu monk A for nine years, hence the name "Kounen-an". The garden is famous for its traditional Japanese architectural style, carefully designed layout and harmonious beauty integrated with nature. The roof of Kounen-an is covered with thatch, the walls are made of cedar, and the small windows are made of bamboo. Every detail reveals the ingenuity of the builder. In the garden, the trees are lush and the water is gurgling, showing different scenery in the four seasons. It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure the integrity of the garden building and the balance of the natural ecology, Kounen-an is only open to the public in spring and the two seasons when the leaves are red, and this limited beauty is even more precious. Unlike Kounen-an, Daxingshan Temple is a Buddhist temple with a history of more than 1,700 years, located in Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China. This ancient temple was built in the second year of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty (265 AD), originally named "Zunshan Temple", and was renamed "Daxingshan Temple" during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, implying the majesty and kindness of Buddhism. Daxingshan Temple is not only one of the oldest temples in Xi'an, but also the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism, with a very high historical status and cultural value. Daxingshan Temple has a unique architectural style, sitting north to south, and the overall layout follows the courtyard axis planning of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Great Hall of the Great Heroes, and the Guanyin Hall are arranged along the north-south direction on the central axis, showing a layout of three parallel axes in the north and south. These buildings are not only places of religious belief, but also have high artistic and historical value. For example, the Hall of Heavenly Kings is magnificent and magnificent, showing its lofty status; the bell tower and drum tower in front of the Great Hall of the Great Heroes are two-story pavilions with double eaves and Xieshan tops, and the corners of the eaves are flying, like birds about to fly; the Guanyin Hall enshrines the camphor wood carved Thousand-Hand Guanyin Bodhisattva, there are three famous paintings in Qing Dynasty Tibet, with high artistic value. Whether it is Saga Kounen-an or Daxingshan Temple, they all show the harmonious coexistence of history and nature in their own unique ways. Kounen-an allows people to feel a quiet and profound artistic conception through the carefully designed garden layout and architectural style integrated with nature; while Daxingshan Temple allows people to appreciate the profoundness of Buddhist culture while praying for blessings with its profound historical and cultural heritage and exquisite architectural art. For tourists and believers, these two holy places are rare cultural experience places. They not only make people feel the charm of history and nature, but also leave a tranquility and tranquility in the depths of their souls. Whether it is walking on the garden path of Kounen-an or kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha statue of Daxingshan Temple, people can feel a tranquility and solemnity beyond time and space.

Xi'an is home to many famous temples, and I find Da Xing Shan Temple to be particularly serene. It's truly worth a visit. Da Xing Shan Temple was a royal monastery during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the ancestral court of the 'Esoteric Buddhism', one of the 'Eight Buddhist Sects' in China, and one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an during the Sui and Tang periods. It has a history of over 1700 years and is one of the oldest existing Buddhist temples in Xi'an. The overall atmosphere is very tranquil, and the temple complex is quite large, making it especially comfortable to stroll around. There are many cultural relics and historic sites, making it a well-known temple in Xi'an. Following the central axis, you'll find the mountain gate, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the rear hall, and the Dharma Hall, etc., with the entire temple planned along three longitudinal axes. The overall spatial layout of the temple is orderly, with a clear hierarchy. Auxiliary buildings are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis, such as the Bell and Drum Towers, the Ksitigarbha Hall, the Manjusri and Samantabhadra Halls, etc., all of which are very neat and clean. The temple is popular among visitors and is a well-liked site. The temple feels spacious, with various buildings that are simple and elegant. There are many structures, but they are well-arranged and appropriately placed. For those who enjoy religious activities, this place is excellent and fully meets people's needs. The temple also has many ancient trees and famous woods, such as century-old vines, cypress, and locust trees, which add to the mysterious and majestic aura of the ancient temple. Da Xing Shan Temple has many attractions. Inside the temple, there is a huge stone stele with inscriptions such as 'Tang Sanzang Master Xuanzang ordered to translate' and 'Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra'. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is a Buddhist classic, commonly known as the 'Heart Sutra' or 'Prajna Heart Sutra', translated by Tang Xuanzang, written by Zhi Ren, in one volume. It is the essence of the Prajnaparamita scriptures. There is a Putong Pagoda, which was originally located on Xiaozhai West Road. Due to urban construction, it was moved to Da Xing Shan Temple in 1990. The Putong Pagoda is a hexagonal five-story pavilion-style solid brick pagoda, with a total height of about 18 meters. The square base of the pagoda is 4.4 meters high, with a door on the south side leading to a square pagoda chamber, and the door lintel is brick-carved with the words 'Relic Pagoda'. Each layer is set back with eaves, and each side has niches with Buddha statues. The top of the pagoda is flat brick spire, topped with a precious vase pagoda finial. There are also inscriptions by Emperor Guangxu and Kang Youwei when they visited Da Xing Shan Temple; there are red spider lilies, a pagoda forest, and feeding pigeons at Da Xing Shan Temple is also a sight to behold. I think Da Xing Shan Temple is not only a place for religious activities but also a very popular tourist attraction. It's quiet and spacious, with many attractions, making it an ideal travel destination. It's truly worth a visit.

The first time I went in was in 2013 when I just started college, at that time it was everywhere in ruins, only two wax plum trees were blooming in winter, the fragrance was refreshing. Later I went there many times and found that the plants planted here are very interesting, wisteria in spring and summer (thousand-year-old tree), osmanthus in summer, red spider lily in early autumn, persimmon tree in deep autumn, and wax plum in winter. My mother has some Buddhist connections, she accidentally found this place, she said that she accidentally entered the monks' rest area, a slightly fat monk holding a potato and eggplant rice in his hand did not rush her when she was lost, but laughed and asked her if she had eaten, and invited her to go to the dining hall to eat. She told me that it's okay to go there more often, it can calm down. So I developed a habit, every time I'm upset or don't know what to do, I go there. The more I learned, the more I found that this temple is not simple, it has been insisting on translating scriptures for so many years, it is one of the few temples in the country with translation qualifications. This time I went there, I specifically asked for a peace and health pendant for a friend who is not in good health, hoping to bless her.

Da Xing Shan Temple, one of the 'Eight Sects of Buddhism' and the ancestral home of the 'Esoteric Sect', was a royal temple during the Sui and Tang dynasties and one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an. The 'Chang'an Records' Volume 7 states: 'The temple is grand and wide, the best in the capital.' Da Xing Shan Temple was first built in the second year of Emperor Wu of Jin's reign (266 AD), originally named 'Zun Shan Temple', and has a history of over 1700 years, making it one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Xi'an. During the Kaihuang era of Emperor Wen of Sui, when Xi'an was expanded into Da Xing City, the temple occupied a block in Jing Shan Fang.

During the Kaihuang era of the Sui Dynasty, Indian monks such as Dhana and Damo Jitu came to Chang'an and translated Buddhist scriptures at Da Xing Shan Temple. During the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, Indian monks such as Shan Wuwei, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra stayed at the temple, translated scriptures, established altars, and spread the Esoteric Sect. This was carried on by Yixing and Huiguo, forming a vast and profound treasure trove of Buddhist culture - Tangmi, which was later spread to Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. by Kukai and Saicho, and has had a wide and long-lasting influence. Da Xing Shan Temple has become a globally recognized ancestral home of Chinese Buddhism's Tangmi. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Buddhism was prevalent in Chang'an. Monks from India came to Chang'an to preach and study, translating Buddhist scriptures and teaching the Esoteric Sect at the temple.
