There are more than 30 monks in Kozanji Temple, who get up at 3 am and go to bed at 9 pm all the year round. Except for three meals and two hours of free activities in the evening, the rest are busy chanting, doing Buddhism, sewing clothes, cleaning, growing vegetables, flowers and fruits. Chanting is also called homework. You sit cross-legged and put your hands on the belly, so that you can calm down. People who practice meditation at home can go without eating or sleeping for two days.
Whenever there are Buddhist activities, the bells in the temple ring, the red candle shines high, the incense burns the tripod, and the offerings are full of tables. More than 30 monks are muttering to themselves, all with their hands folded, moving slowly like snakes in the Hall of Ursa Major. The scene is spectacular. On both sides of Tianwang Hall and Daxiong Hall, there are three-story buildings, such as wing, bell and drum tower, zhaitang, living room, Buddhist scriptures circulation office, library and Leizhou Buddhist training class for monks and nuns, with a construction area of 2,306 square meters. On the left side of the entrance to Zhaitang is a "Gu Quan Mountain" excavated during the Shenjia period of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1644). The water in the four seasons is flat with the ground, clear and sweet, and will not deteriorate for a long time. On the wall of the guest room of "Welcome guests with Sanskrit, Worship the mountains and moisten the water", the photos left by visiting celebrities from all over the country in the temple and the honorary certificates issued by Buddhist associations and religious bureaus in provinces, cities and counties are hung in order. Since the establishment of 1994, the Buddhist scriptures circulation office has exchanged more than 50,000 Buddhist scriptures for free. The library has more than 3,900 Buddhist classics, such as the Tripitaka. The training course includes basic courses such as Chinese, English, history, geography and specialized courses such as Buddhism, and has trained a large number of Buddhist talents with both ability and political integrity. You Shi and the abbot said that the temple is going to build a nursing home to accept lonely old people to spend their twilight years, so as to truly be charitable and help all beings.
