Monk Qingfu was a high-ranking monk in Qing Dynasty. He crossed Xuan Tong for two years (19 10). Monk Qingfu wears a Ma Xie, holding utensils, and goes to Wan Li alone, heading west to Myanmar and India to learn Buddhist scriptures. Please return to the Buddhist paradise 15 Jade Buddha. Chengdu Baoguang Temple, Shanghai Yuyuan Temple, Longhua Temple, Emei Mountain, Putuo Mountain, Wutai Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain, four famous Buddhist mountains, all have jade buddhas invited back by Qingfu monks.
The jade Buddha in guangde temple is white and beautifully carved. The Buddha statue is one meter high, sitting on the lotus platform, solemn, kind and lifelike. It is said that Guo Moruo visited guangde temple in the second year of the Republic of China (19 13) 10, and he also appreciated the carving skills of the jade Buddha.
Behind the Jade Buddha Temple is the guangde temple Buddhist Temple and the Buddhist Scripture Building, and the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion contains the "Guanyin Jewelry Seal of Yuguangli Temple". The reason why guangde temple is the "Royal Zen Forest" is that Jishan Pagoda, one of the five treasures of guangde temple Town Temple, has to be said that Jishan Pagoda is the You Ke Zen Master of guangde temple. Guangde temple, immortal and highly valued by emperors, can command more than 300 mountains in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. Apart from the virtue of Zen master You Ke, I'm afraid it is also inseparable from his legendary special royal status.
Pilgrims who believe in Buddhism say that Master You Ke is the incarnation of Guanyin, but there is a legend that Master You Ke is the grandson of Tang Zhongzong (Li Zhe), the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty.
However, according to experts' research, the most common surname of Zen master was Li from 728 to 787 AD. His ancestral home is Longxi (now Gansu Province), and his father moved to Changjiang County (now Daying County) in Suizhou for official reasons. Later, due to illness, I made a vow to become a monk and learn Buddhism. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, he went to Chengdu Jingzhong Temple to learn from the teacher. Master Wuxiang, a monk who came to China from North Korea, appreciated You Ke very much and made a heartfelt request to him. In Tang Suzong and Tang Daizong, it is said that Master You Ke was invited to enter the Forbidden City twice.
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (768), Du Jiying, the envoy of Dongchuan, went to the Stone Buddha Temple in Suizhou (that is, guangde temple) as the abbot, who was well-known and had many disciples.
It is said that in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (772), Ke Youhu suddenly appeared in the auspicious time, sitting in the round light, and the flowers far and near became lotus calyx, which surprised everyone, so there were more literati. In the 13th year of Dali (778), the Zen master gave him the name "You Ke" and Zi Yi. In May of the third year of Tang Zhenyuan (787), Master You Ke said to everyone, "I am here to die, and I will do it soon." On September 1 1, You Ke stood up and said, "It's time." He died in guangde temple at the age of 60.
His disciples were ordered by Wei Chengwu, the secretariat of Suizhou, to build a tower in the west of guangde temple and bury the golden body. This pagoda is the Shanji Pagoda in guangde temple today, also known as stupa and stupa.
Shanji Pagoda is located in the west of Daxiong Hall, with a square masonry structure. The original tower was thirteen stories high, but it was rebuilt to seven stories during the Northern Song Zhezong period, with a height of 22 meters and the words "Youkta" on the top. Although it has survived for thousands of years, it still stands, but it is the most intact Song Tower in China.
On the west side of the second floor of Shanji Tower, there is a record of Shanji Tower of Guangli Temple in Suizhou, and a living bodhisattva statue is molded on the south side.
To the west of Shanji Tower, there is a Buddhist chanting hall. There are statues of Amitabha Buddha, Great Trend Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the center of the Buddhist temple, and there are 32 stories and pictures of Guanyin saving people on both sides. In the Buddhist temple, there were many pilgrims chatting, and one of them knelt on the futon and recited the scriptures devoutly. Behind the West Three Icons is the Kowloon Monument, the last of the five treasures of guangde temple Town Temple. It is said that this is the only Kowloon Monument found in China at present. There are nine conferring titles on guangde temple by the Tang and Song emperors.
Near the Kowloon Monument is the Dizang King Hall, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. There is a couplet in front of the door, which reads, "All living beings have proved Bodhi, and hell is not empty and not a Buddha." The Tibetan Bodhisattva is considered to be the prince of Silla (present-day Korean Peninsula), and his surname is Jin Qiaojue. When Tang Xuanzong came to China, he walked into Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province to practice asceticism. This couplet shows his determination to practice.
1300 years, guangde temple has experienced many vicissitudes, and the incense is still strong. Standing in front of Kannonji, I saw an endless stream of good men and women lighting candles and burning incense in front of the Hall of Heroes. I think maybe they don't really believe that Buddhism can achieve everything. They just put a hope in this form, whether for their own future or for their relatives and friends. This is their sincere prayer and blessing.
