The cat at Daxingshan Temple went offline after being petted, with an overload of sleepy vibes

On October 20th, the "on-duty" cat at Daxingshan Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi, became a hit! This adorable cat went blank-eyed and completely "offline" after being petted by visitors, showing an overload of sleepy vibes and full of cuteness today. Daxingshan Temple was originally built in the early Jin dynasty, with a history of over 1,600 years, making it one of the oldest Buddhist temples still standing in Xi'an. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was one of the three major translation centers for Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an. Indian monks studying in Chang'an once translated scriptures here, giving the temple a profound cultural heritage. The ancient cypress trees inside the temple are dense and towering, creating a serene and solemn environment. Most of the existing buildings were constructed during the Ming dynasty, preserving the site of the Tang dynasty’s revolving scripture hall. The rear hall also houses bronze Buddha statues from the Tang dynasty and sculptures from the Song dynasty, each with unique forms and great historical value. Visiting Daxingshan Temple allows you not only to experience deep historical culture but also to interact closely with the adorable "on-duty" cat, gaining plenty of healing and joy. Come check in and enjoy this unique Buddhist temple cat-petting journey!
