Religious

On April 28th, my friends and I went to Jiming Temple. Jiming Temple is one of the oldest temple in Nanjing. Jiming temple is a place where people come to make themselves more at peace and calm. The Jiming Temple changed in 1958 by a Daochang nun. During the "Cultural Revolution" period, the temple was severely damaged. In 1979, the monk helped to reconstruct the Jiming temple under the leadership of Master Cheng.
Jiming temple is located in the northeastern part of Nanjing City. At the back of Xuanwu lake the Jiming Temple faces Purple Mountain to the east. Behind the Jiming temple there remains a section of palace wall called Taicheng. While at the temple I took part in a prayer session which I thought was very nice. I also tried to talk with one of the nuns, but she just looked at me strangely. She was a little odd looking with a big scar on her neck from what looked like a knife or sword wound. I expected nuns to be a little different than her, but that was the first time I had ever tried talking with a Buddhist nun.
