China: Fairy Lake and Shenzhen's Hongfa Temple
Edit: It looks like the outside area I was walking around in is called Fairy Lake!
I wish I could have recorded more, but it suddenly went low battery and I did my best to squeeze out what I could of the pitiful thing.
Anyway, hopefully you have enjoyed this snippet of a Chinese temple~

Hongfa Temple - Great Compassion Mantra, Ten Small Mantras, Heart Sutra / 弘法寺 - 大悲咒, 十小咒, 心經
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as Guan Yin to the Japanese and Chinese, and Shadakshari to the Tibetans, is the bodhisattva who most embodies compassion. The name Avalokitesvara has its root meaning as he who observes the sounds of the world. The great vow of Avalokitesvara is to listen to the supplications, and cries for help from those in difficulty in the world and to provide them with aid. He takes many different forms....male, female, four-armed, thousand-armed, human, non-human, teacher, student...whatever expedient means are needed to help people most effectively.
Great Compassion Mantra can relieve living beings of all their sufferings and difficulties. Because it relieves suffering and bestows happiness, it is called the Great Compassion Mantra.
Ten Small Mantras are usually chanted at Morning Recitation.
A foundational text of Mahayana Buddhism, the Heart Sutra is one of the shortest versions of a series of sutras. The Heart Sutra is said to teach the core, the essence, the heart, of the Buddha's teachings and is recited by the majority of Buddhists around the world almost every morning.
The Heart Sutra is not a document that you read one time and expect to understand it. It is not a short, concise, summary of the teachings in the sense of Cliff Notes. Rather, it is a summary of how to look at the core teachings you learn in other documents from the point of view of Emptiness. That point of view is so contrary to our normal way of looking at the world. The Heart Sutra is pointing out that in the absolute view of reality, the view from the mountaintop of Emptiness, things are not as they appear in our everyday conventional view of reality.
Once the sutra deconstructs our normal view of reality, it finishes by telling us how Bodhisattvas and Buddhas see it. It tells us that the way to nirvana, a correct understanding of reality, is to get rid of the obstructions in our mind; to eliminate the negative mental factors that corrupt our perceptions of everything we see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and think.
By eliminating these obstructions, we see that everything is impermanent and non-self existent; including ourselves. We are actually and simply just a pure awareness; pure, unobstructed, unmanifested, undefined, infinite awareness.
Hongfa Temple is arguably the only major Buddhist temple in Shenzhen. Shenzhen Hongfa Temple is built on a series of terraces.

《大悲咒》是觀世音萻薩的大慈悲心，無上菩提心，以及濟世渡人。據《大悲心陀羅尼經》經文的記載：此咒系由過去九十九億恆河沙諸佛所宣說，後於千光王靜住如來的淨土時，千光王靜住如來為觀世音菩薩傳授「廣大圓滿無礙大悲陀羅尼」，並且對他說：「善男子汝當持此心咒，普為未來惡世一切眾生作大利樂。」。當時觀世音菩薩聽了此咒之後，即由初地菩薩，升至第八地－不動地菩薩果位。於是心生歡喜發出誓願說：「設我當來之世能利樂一切眾生者，令我即時身生千手千眼具足。」如此發願後，果真頓時身生千手千眼，並且十方大地都為之震動，十方諸佛亦都放出無量光明，遍照十方無邊世界。
佛教的十小咒主要由釋迦摩尼佛、觀世音菩薩、藥師佛等佛菩薩所說。咒語凝聚了十方三世眾佛菩薩的很多功德能量。
《心經》，具稱《般若波羅密多心經》，是佛教經論中文字最為簡煉，而內容又極為豐富的一部典藉。它和《金剛經》一樣，在社會上廣泛流傳，影響極大。
《心經》在佛教中屬於般若系經典，指出了苦、無常、無我，空。心（梵hrdaya ），指心臟，含有精要、心髓等意。本經係將內容龐大之般若經濃縮，成為表現'般若皆空'精神之簡潔經典。全經舉出五蘊、三科、十二因緣、四諦等法以總述諸法皆空之理。“色即是空，空即是色”一語，即是出自本經。
般若。智慧也。波羅蜜。到彼岸也。多。定也。經。徑也。言此經乃定心之徑路也。
弘法寺位於中國廣東省深圳市羅湖區仙湖植物園內，背靠梧桐山。弘法寺選址所在地被稱之為“深圳綠色心肺”，1985年7月1日動土起造，是中華人 民共和國建立以來國內興建的首座寺院，現任方丈為印順大和尚。

Crowded Hongfa Temple on Chinese New Year in Xianhu Botanical Garden
This is Hong Fa Temple in the Xianhu Botanical Garden in Shenzhen, China during Chinese New Years (February 14, 2010). It is so packed with people that you are literally shoved along. Near the end of the film, you get some sneaky shots of the oldest monk in the world (103 years old at the time), located in Shenzhen, China. The monk's name in PinYin is BenHuan, and he passed away at age 105 (April 2, 2012). The garden is also called Fairy Lake in Chinese.
You can see the long bus trip to this temple (and see the monk at 100 years old) here:
Hongfa Temple - Morning Recitation / 弘法寺 - 早課
In the early morning, when our minds are quiet and tranquil, we should be awaken, get dressed and immediately commence the recitation of the Shurangama Mantra of the Buddha’s Summit. This mantra serves to regulate the five desires before they have had time to arise.
Next we go on to recite the Great Compassion Mantra, which has the ability to cleanse the mind of filth. Then, we recite the Ten Small Mantras.
Furthermore, the Heart Sutra is recited.
There are more to be chanted afterward, and the whole recitation usually requires around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
It is essential to practise morning recitation every morning because this activity reminds you that you have to benefit everyone and the society from what you have learnt in Buddha's teaching.
Hongfa Temple is arguably the only major Buddhist temple in Shenzhen. Shenzhen Hongfa Temple is built on a series of terraces.

在清晨僧眾集於大殿，上香禮佛，依序誦念楞嚴咒、大悲咒、十小咒、心經、上來偈贊、讚佛偈、三皈依、韋馱贊等經文。
早晚課誦是自古就傳下來的傳統，但是雖然傳了數千年，不過早晚課誦所代表的意思真正明了的人就不多了。
早課的用意是：一日之際在於晨，最清醒的時候也是早上，所以早上讀誦經典，是告誡自己這一日要依照著經典中的教導去利益大眾，為大眾做好事，並且提醒自己今天不要犯錯誤。

Hongfa Temple - Incense of Precepts, Samadhi and Wisdom / 弘法寺 - 戒定真香
Burning incense will help Buddhists to remember the importance of following rules. With obedience with rules, one can calm down his/her mind and the true wisdom will appear. It is similar to a flowing river becoming idle, and dirt will sink to the bottom. At that time, water will return to its original status, which is clean and crystal clear.

戒定真香。焚起沖天上。弟子虔誠。爇在金爐上。頃刻纷纭。即徧滿十方。昔日耶輸。免難消災障。南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。
佛門中經常將'香'與'戒、定、真'聯繫起來，稱為戒定真香。意思是好的香與好的敬香方法，能使人聞香憶戒，聞香思定，聞香悟真。以香來比喻佛法之功德，例如戒香、聞香、施香等。

Hongfa Temple - 88 Buddhas Repentance Ceremony / 弘法寺 - 八十八佛大懺悔文
In the 88 Buddhas Repentance Ceremony, participants repent by chanting the names of 88 Buddhas, which is an excellent way to clear our karmic obstacles and draw out our inner wisdom.
The first 53 Buddhas’ names came from the Sutra of Visualizing the Two Bodhisattvas, the King of Medicine and the Superior Physician, and the last 35 Buddhas’ names came from the Maharatnakuta Sutra.
Chanting the 88 Buddhas’ names is a practice that allows us to pay respect to all the Buddhas who have already attained enlightenment and the Buddha-to-be in each of us. Reflecting on and repenting the bad habits that keep us from enlightenment will reduce our false pride and clear new paths for us in our lives.

《八十八佛大懺悔文》又稱《八十八佛懺悔文》，是八十八佛是五十三佛加三十五佛。五十三佛名見《觀藥王藥上二菩薩經》，是婆婆世界的過去佛；三十五佛名出自《決定毘尼經》，是現在十方世界的佛。這八十八佛都可以為眾生作懺悔主，因此，人們可以向他們申述自己改悔過惡的願望。
取相懺中，至誠禮拜八十八佛，最為殊勝，最為簡便，亦最常用，極易感應，得見瑞相，身心輕安，足以證明，罪滅障除，堪可進功，修行辦道。是故古德大善知識，將之列入早晚課誦。從普光佛到一切法常滿王佛，這五十三尊佛號，出在《佛說觀藥王藥上二菩薩經》中。經云：若人聞此五十三佛功德名號，百千萬億阿僧祇劫，不墮惡道；若能稱誦，世世見佛；若復有人，恭敬禮拜五十三佛，彼之所有五逆十惡、四重八棄，種種重罪，一齊消滅。過去千佛，現在千佛，未來千佛，皆因稱誦，恭敬禮拜五十三佛，而早成佛。從釋迦牟尼佛到寶蓮華善住娑羅樹王佛，三十五佛功德名號，出自《佛說決定毘尼經》。《寶積經》雲：一切眾生，若有身俱五逆十惡重罪之者，萬劫千生不通懺悔，應須頂禮三十五佛，至心懺悔，一切罪障，皆得除滅。
由此可見，稱念禮拜八十八佛，功德威神不可思議，能除一切極惡重罪。是故我等末世行人，不論罪障迷惑，若輕若重，悉應至誠，恭敬禮拜八十八佛功德名號。亦如過去現在未來三千諸佛，早得成佛。
