Most monks are doctors from Tsinghua Peking University. Why are there so many monks in the temple known as "Little Tsinghua"?

The most famous temple in China belongs to Shaolin Temple, but the temple with the highest education is not Shaolin Temple, but Longquan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Most monks in this temple have academic qualifications above the key level, and master's and doctor's degrees are common. The reason why this temple has such a high degree of education is obviously because of his years of accumulation, and he has high requirements for monks. It is not so easy to really join this temple.

The development model of Longquan Temple in recent years and Shaolin Temple are almost two extremes, and the similar commercialization of Shaolin Temple is becoming more and more serious. Shaolin Temple Group is really honored to lead Shaolin Temple to such a commercial road, and there is no particularly good feedback, or the society now thinks Shaolin Temple is a tourist attraction, which is not the Shaolin Temple in people's minds. On the contrary, although Longquan Temple is not completely closed to the outside world, it has always adhered to the tradition of closed-door cultivation.

Most of the monks here are masters, even doctors. Most people here have studied formal Buddhism, and those who have received higher education have the opportunity to become monks here. This temple can be said to be a combination of modernization and classicalization. The monks here are not all complete monks, but they still have a strong spiritual atmosphere. At least compared with the crowded Shaolin Temple, it seems more like a temple with such a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

The high degree of education is obviously influenced by the high degree of education and the recruitment of temples, because monks are also recruited for the society, especially some senior monks, who conduct related research on Buddhism. Obviously, this requires a good foundation, and it is best to learn relevant resources, but it does not mean that all saints are recruited from outside. Naturally, there are some monks, but they do not conduct corresponding Buddhist research, and there are also relatively simple monks, most of whom conduct daily temple maintenance.
