In Lungshan Temple, there are several altars, each of which enshrines a deity. Each deity has different benefits, so it is said that one can obtain all kinds of blessings by praying here. Japanese magazines have introduced this temple as the biggest power spot in Taipei. Lungshan Temple, which is like a department store of blessings, is always crowded with worshippers.
Although many tourists visit Lungshan Temple, which is listed in guidebooks as a tourist attraction, there are more local worshippers. There are many people in Taipei who seek worldly benefits. The man in the photo seems to be a local who came to pray. The man, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was standing in the front row of the altar, praying intently. Upon closer inspection, I found that the man was praying with a hand seal without incense in his hand. It was a complicated hand seal. Perhaps there was some kind of meaning behind it, but I could not understand what it meant. I thought it might be an esoteric hand seal, so I did some research, but I did not know the details. But since this is not an esoteric Buddhist temple, it must belong to a different sect.
