What functional departments are there in the temple?

There are a dharma hall, a living room and a fasting hall in the temple.

1. The Dharma Hall, one of the seven halls in Galand, is the place where Zen Forest performs Dafa. Located behind the Buddhist temple and in front of the abbot. Equivalent to a lecture hall, "teaching" and "teaching" are connected. In Zen, it is different from other schools and shows its purpose of teaching others, so it is called the Dharma Hall.

Second, the guest room is the management center of the daily work of the temple, responsible for external liaison, receiving guests, lay monks and wandering monks, coordinating the attendance and discipline of the temple and monks, and managing the fire control and public security of the temple. The guest room is a combination of diplomacy and internal affairs, and things are very complicated.

The guest room also sends and receives placards written by the abbot to convey the information in the temple in time. For example, the content and participants of Buddhism today, or other news about the life and actions of monks.

Third, wooden fish (bang) hangs outside the fasting hall, "bang through the main hall", and knocking wooden fish becomes a signal for monks to enter the main hall to use fasting.

1, going through the field: going through the field means that everyone goes to the fasting hall for dinner in the morning and afternoon, which is called going through the field.

2. Wuguantang: Zhaitang is a place where monks get together for dinner. Because monks have to do five kinds of visualizations before eating, they are also called wuguantang.

Tables and stools used for fasting should be arranged neatly. Monks should recite the "Sacrifice Mantra" before using fasting. The monks in the hall are responsible for supplying food and rice. No talking while fasting. The rules are very strict.

Now lay people and believers who go to temples can also use fasting in the fasting hall. Eating in a temple is also a kind of practice.
