Venerable Shi Yanming, President of China Shaolin Magazine, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Kung Fu Culture Committee, Honorary President of the Zibo Buddhist Association, and Supervisor of Puzhao Temple, led a delegation to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou today for a cultural exchange visit. Joining him were Venerable Shi Yanxing, Vice President of China Shaolin Magazine, and business representatives Mr. Chen and Mr. An.
The delegation was warmly received by Venerable Guangquan, Abbot of Lingyin Temple, Executive Director of the Buddhist Association of China, and President of the Zhejiang Buddhist Association. The two sides held in-depth discussions on enhancing Buddhist cultural exchanges, promoting the spirit of patriotism and religious devotion, and strengthening the development of Buddhist talent.
During the dialogue, Venerable Guangquan emphasized the inseparable bond between Buddhism and Chinese culture. He highlighted Lingyin Temple's commitment to the philosophy of Humanistic Buddhism and its efforts to align Buddhist practices with Chinese cultural values. In recent years, the temple has revived traditional activities such as distributing porridge during the Laba Festival, organizing the Chinese Filial Piety and Charity Culture Festival, and conducting alms-gathering charity walks. These initiatives, he noted, integrate Buddhist compassion with social welfare, contributing to social harmony and development.
"Buddhism must keep pace with the times," Venerable Guangquan remarked. "It should not only preserve its cultural essence but also serve national interests and guide believers toward right faith and right practice."
Venerable Shi Yanming echoed these sentiments and shared China Shaolin Magazine's innovative approaches to promoting Shaolin culture. He noted that as a vital part of Chinese civilization, Shaolin culture remains rooted in patriotism and devotion, using platforms such as martial arts and Chan meditation to strengthen cultural confidence and share the richness of Chinese heritage with the world.
During the visit, the delegation toured Lingyin Temple's iconic sites, including the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Mahavira Hall, gaining deeper insights into the temple’s 1,700-year history and its modern-day innovations. Venerable Guangquan also introduced the temple’s ancient couplet: “How can life always go as we wish? In all things, we seek only half contentment,” using it to illustrate the enduring relevance of Buddhist wisdom in addressing the challenges of contemporary life.
Venerable Shi Yanming expressed hope that this visit will serve as a new starting point for deepening cooperation between the two institutions in cultural exchange and talent cultivation, breathing new life into Buddhist endeavors in the modern era.返回搜狐，查看更多
