The Three Great Buddhist Altars in China
The three great Buddhist altars in China were the Buddhist altar of Jietai Temple in Beijing, the Buddhist altar of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian, and the Buddhist altar of Zhaoqing Temple in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The Jietai Temple in Beijing had the largest altar, known as the " First Altar in the World ". It could grant the highest level of Bodhisattva precepts in Buddhism. Once a monk received this precepts, he would become a disciple of Sakyamuni, the Buddha. This place was known as the highest school of Buddhism. The opening of the altar must be ordered by the emperor, so it was called the " Buddha Selection Field ". It was also the only place other than the Potala Palace of Tibetan Buddhism where Bodhisattva precepts could be granted. The Dew Altar in Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou was the most intact ancient altar in China. It was built in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was a double-eaved octagonal spire. Although Zhaoqing Temple in Hangzhou no longer existed, it was once a famous temple where the altar was located.

Three Mountains Talisman, Four Great Altars
The four great altars of the Three Mountain Talisman were Mount Longhu's Zhengyi Sect Altar (Ten Thousand Dharma Sect Altar), Mount Gezao's Lingbao Sect Altar, Mount Maoshan's Shangqing Sect Altar, and Mount Nanchang's West Mountain Jingming Sect Altar. In history, the Lingbao Sect Altar of Gezao Mountain, the Zhengyi Sect Altar of Longhu Mountain, and the Shangqing Sect Altar of Mao Mountain were known as the Three Talisman Mountains. Before the Three Mountains became one, the Jiangnan Daoist Sect actually had four altars (Mount Longhu's Zhengyi Xuan Altar, Mount Gezao's Lingbao Altar, Mount Maoshan's Shangqing Sect Altar, and Mount Xishan's Jingming Altar), each of which was passed down through the mantras of their ancestors. The three, together with the Jingming Sect Altar in West Mountain of Nanchang, became the four great Daoist altars.

Three altars of great rings are the most powerful three merits
The Three Altar Great Precepts were a unique inheritance ritual of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. The core of it was the precepts, which had many meanings and merits, but it did not explicitly mention which three merits were the most powerful. On the whole, the three great precepts covered the whole process of giving the precepts of the novice monks in the first altar, the monks in the second altar, and the Bodhisattvas in the third altar. The ordained person ascended the three altars, received the three clothes, the alms bowl, and became the successor of the Buddha's mantra, namely the official monk. The process of ordination helped to extend the lifeline of Buddhism and make the Dharmakaya of Buddhism last for a long time. The ordained person became an official Bodhisattva monk by ascending the altar in turn and completing the three levels of precepts. This process had far-reaching significance for the improvement of the practice of the ordained person. For example, when seeking to receive the Bodhisattva precepts, the new precepts monk had to develop Bodhi Heart and seek to receive the Bodhisattva's pure precepts. This helped them to embark on the path of Bodhi, protect the pure precepts, and implement the Buddhist cultivation in their daily lives. They could do good and stop evil, and cultivate the six degrees together. From a broader Buddhist perspective, for all living beings, the Three Treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha were treasures. The process of receiving the precepts related to the three altars was also a sincere and respectful offering to the Three Treasures. It would sow a lot of blessings and obtain boundless blessings in the future.
