The restlessness in my heart was instantly soothed

Don't go to other places anymore. The most popular temple in Tianjin is here. I always heard that the Great Compassion Temple in Tianjin is very spiritual. I took the opportunity to take a look when I went to the Ferris wheel. I was amazed when I came in for the first time. It turns out that the environment here is like a small Forbidden City Museum.
Instantly the restlessness in my heart was also soothed
It is said that this place consists of the Cultural Relics Hall and the Abbot's Courtyard. The main body of the temple is composed of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Great Sage, the Hall of Great Compassion, the Hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the side halls, the ear rooms and the corridors.
The hall houses a bronze statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, as well as sculptures of Great Compassion Bodhisattva, Reclining Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha, Heavenly Kings, Arhats, etc. The main temple here is Guanyin Bodhisattva (Thousand-armed Guanyin)
The main purpose of Dabei Zen Temple is to make people do good and cleanse the dust of the soul. It is not to promote Buddhism. We only hope that people in the world, whether they have faith or not, and whether they have pursuits or not, can stay away from troubles, have good health, live a happy life, and wish for world peace!

The Great Compassion Temple should be visited counterclockwise
Entrance bell tower - Heavenly King Hall - Sakyamuni Hall - Mahavira Hall - Medicine Buddha Hall - Ksitigarbha Hall - West Courtyard Site - Master Xuanzang Memorial Hall - Great Compassion Hall - Master Hongyi Memorial Hall - Master Xu Memorial Hall - Master Xu's Pagoda - Patriarch Hall - Drum Tower Exit
However, most of the temples are closed to tourists, so visitors can only visit and worship outside.
Most people visit on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, during the Chinese New Year, and on Buddha's birthday.
