Donghua Temple is not just a place; it's an experience that transcends the physical realm. With over a millennium of history etched into its stone walls and aging pagodas, the temple offers more than sightseeing—it provides a journey into the depths of Zen Buddhist practice. Here, the ancient creed of "One day without work, one day without food" isn't just a saying carved above a doorway; it's a lived philosophy that intertwines daily life with spiritual discipline.
