Both are famous temples in Shanghai.
Now the Jade Buddha Temple is divided into two parts: the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is the original temple site of the Jade Buddha Temple. On the central axis, there are the Great Zhaobei, the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall and the Prajna Hall (the Jade Buddha Building and the Tibetan Scripture Building are upstairs), which are similar to the palace buildings in the Song Dynasty. The backyard is a multi-functional dormitory building. There is a cultural relic room in the temple, which contains precious cultural relics of the Northern Wei, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The most famous Jade Buddha Temple is two Jade Buddhas invited back from Myanmar by Master Huigen of Putuo Mountain in the late Qing Dynasty. In fact, Master Huigen invited five jade buddhas of different sizes on his way back to Mount Putuo, and left two of them in Shanghai. Inside the Jade Buddha Building is a sitting statue of Sakyamuni, with a height of1.92m.. The gold foil and inlaid gems on the Buddha's body are dazzling and are the "treasures of the town temple". There are also 500 gold-plated Buddha statues at the top of the ceiling of the Jade Buddha Building. You need to pay an extra ticket for 10 yuan to visit the Jade Buddha Building. The other statue lying on the west side of the temple in the Buddha Hall is a 96-cm-long reclining Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, which was made according to the image of Sakyamuni when he died at the age of 80, lying on his side, holding his head in his right hand and looking serene. Opposite the reclining Buddha, a Singaporean believer recently donated a jade reclining Buddha with a length of about 4 meters.
In addition, it is worth seeing the 42 regular script chapters of Dong Qichang and the ink engraving of the running script Ni Gu Mei's Enlightenment, the stone carving of the 32-year-old statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva painted by famous painters in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the stone carving of the eight-phase Taoist statue of Sakyamuni and the stone carving of the 16 arhats painted by Tang Guanxiu.
The Jade Buddha Temple is full of incense, and pilgrims are constantly on the first and fifteenth day. The most famous is burning incense on the first day of New Year's Eve. Some pilgrims wait at the gate of the temple on New Year's Eve, hoping to burn incense and realize their wishes more effectively.
