Why in the temple of the white rabbit festival “of Virtue (Shan Liang)”?

Shifu Shi Yanji, he is the Abbot of the temple of the white rabbit in the city of #Xuchang, #Henan province took him from the folklore.

In ancient times, in the area of Xuchang was a severe drought and plague. Locals with good will went to the temple to pray for rain. My wife prayed, “I have no money and no face. If this drought and plague can be alleviated, I will take a fan and fan the Buddha with it.”

Later, the Buddha was moved by the piety of the people and used the divine rain to soften the drought and eliminate the plague.

To Express gratitude to Buddha, in summer people go to the temple to worship and wave a fan as a sign of kindness.

In fact, there is a play on the words “Waving a fan” 扇凉 shānliáng meaning “kindness” 善良 shànliáng, so we can conclude that the essence of the story is to encourage people to pass on cultural values by inheritance.

Shi Yanji said the event was also held to further inherit the beautiful traditional Chinese folk culture, develop the spiritual ties of Buddhism with the world and spread the positive energy of Buddhist culture.

Very important☝️

Due to force majeure circumstances, my students and I moved to the city of Xuchang. Now we are 70 km from Dengfeng and Shaolin. ⚠️

Thanks to my #师兄 now at our disposal monastery #baitusi (Temple of white Rabbit) for training.

Part of the foreign students live right in the monastery, and part with me in the school right in front of the monastery. Still active training, intense heat in summer and soup for Breakfast and dinner.

The last few weeks have been difficult due to the unexpected move and I want to say thank you to all the students that helped. My disciples who were distracted from their worries and came to an unknown place for help.

My foreign students @lala.lies , @shanghaicha , @karpov_a @maximedaumin , already in a new place. Thank them for their understanding.

I am happy to welcome everyone to my new school with old traditions

By the way it became easier to get, but more on that later ☺

It isn’t the place graces the man, but man the place. (at Xuchang)
