[Explanation] With the improvement of the epidemic prevention and control situation, on the premise of taking good prevention and control measures, Hangzhou religious activities began to gradually resume opening in June 2nd. It took more than four months from Zhejiang Province to issue an emergency notice on January 23 that all large-scale activities in all religious activities venues in Zhejiang Province were cancelled, and to the reopening of today's religious activity venues.
[Commentary] On June 2, the reporter came to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It is understood that the sterilization of the temple will be carried out every few hours, and the queues must be more than one meter apart. Before entering the monastery, it must go through several processes such as alcohol disinfection, temperature measurement and information registration. Mister Guangquan, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, introduced that in order to ensure the safety of tourists and monks in the temple after opening, Lingyin Temple began to formulate anti-epidemic measures after opening one and a half months ago.

We have made our open plan a month and a half ago, for example, we used to send incense for free, but now we want to reduce the contact between people, what should people do when they come in, then we have to take the incense ourselves, take it ourselves If you want to burn incense, what kind of services do you need from the side, how to do it, including the disinfection of the door, we purchased an automatic thermometer two months ago, which is an infrared thermometer, and the people who come in can automatically measure the temperature. We will sterilize the air a few hours apart to ensure that our entire environment is safe.
[Explanation] Master Guangquan introduced that in addition to doing a good job of disinfecting the temple, in order to avoid tourists gathering, the temple also trained volunteers to evacuate the concentrated crowd, and because before entering the Lingyin Temple, it must first pass the Feilai Peak Scenic Area of the West Lake, The scenic spot is open for daily appointments for 30,000 people, so Lingyin Temple will not set up another appointment platform.
The reporter saw at the scene that the number of tourists in Lingyin Temple has decreased significantly compared to the past. After experiencing the outbreak of the epidemic, people pay more attention to health. Most tourists come to Lingyin Temple to pray for health and safety.

I checked this information for a long time, and I accidentally saw it last night and said today is okay. In fact, the main thing we came to Lingyin Temple was (wish) family health. It is indeed different now, and it feels like it is back to normal, except that the mask must be worn when going out.
【Explanation】During the "closed" period of Lingyin Temple, in addition to the prevention and control inside the temple, Lingyin Temple also cares about society. The reporter learned that after the outbreak, Lingyin Temple donated RMB 10 million to the Hangzhou Red Cross Society of Zhejiang for the first time to support the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. Master Guangquan said that the epidemic also shows great love. One side is in trouble, and the eight parties come to help. This kind of love is the enduring vitality of Lingyin Temple. Regarding the epidemic, Master Guangquan believes that awe of life and nature will be the eternal theme of mankind.

The reason why Lingyin Temple is a thousand-year-old dojo, in this epidemic, my experience is that I saw its great love, why there are so many pilgrims, because it has its inner vitality, this It is very difficult. This (epidemic situation) is also a lesson. It is a lesson for each of us, that is, how to protect the environment, care for creatures, care for people and our own living environment, which is very important.
