Guanyin is the most distinctive bodhisattva in China and an important role in many folklore in China. People worship her to a high degree, and folk customs are deeply rooted. Mercy, salvation and good faith represented by Guanyin are important manifestations of China's profound traditional folk culture. On the basis of people's widespread belief, the three most famous Guanyin Dojo in China have gradually formed, and believers and tourists at home and abroad have made pilgrimages. One of the three Guanyin Dojo: Nanhai Guanyin-Putuo Mountain Putuo Mountain is a famous Guanyin Dojo in China. In the first year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 847), a monk visited Yin Chao Cave and felt the incarnation of Guanyin. In the fourth year of Emperor Xiantong of Tang Dynasty (AD 863), Master Hua Hui, a monk, invited Guanyin to return to China by boat from Wutai Mountain. When the ship arrived at Lianhuayang, it was very stormy. After several trips, it is impossible to do so. Therefore, he thought that Guanyin refused to cross eastward, and left an icon beside the Yin Chao Cave, so he called it "unwilling to go to Guanyin". After several generations of construction, there are many temples. Every year on February 19, Guanyin's birthday, June 19, Guanyin Daoism Day, September 19, Guanyin's becoming a monk day, believers from all over the world gather in the Buddhist country, and Putuo Mountain is full of lights and cigarettes. To chant Buddhist scriptures and worship Buddha, staying up all night, its grand occasion is breathtaking. Every time there is a Buddhist event, there are many auspicious signs, and believers ask for worship, and their effects frequently appear. Buddhist activities that have lasted for more than 1000 years have accumulated profound Buddhist culture in Putuo Mountain, a beautiful pure land in Zhong Ling. Master Guanyin became attached to the whole world, and there is a saying: "Everyone is Amitabha, and every household is Guanyin Bodhisattva". Guanyin belief is called "the belief of half the world" by scholars. Mount Putuo is surrounded by the sea, with beautiful scenery and unique illusion, and is known as "the first clean place on earth". Around the island, there are endless beaches, surrounded by white waves and fishing sails competing. Qingfeng Cui Luan and Yin Tao Jinsha are surrounded by a large number of ancient temples, forming a colorful picture. There are wonderful rocks and valleys, such as Pantuo Stone, Ergui Tingfa Stone, Xinshi Stone, Fanyin Cave, Yin Chao Cave and Chaoyang Cave. Most places of interest have an indissoluble bond with Guanyin and have wonderful and moving legends. It's all strange and charming. The twelve scenic spots in Putuo, whether steep, dreamy or strange, give people infinite reverie. One of the three Guanyin Dojo: guangde temple, guangde temple of Lingquan Temple and Lingquan Temple, the hometown of Guanyin, are all famous Guanyin Dojo in the suburbs of Suining City, Sichuan Province, only 3 kilometers apart. Suining has a legend since ancient times that "three sisters of Guanyin Bodhisattva eat in the same pot and practice separately, the elder sister practices in Lingquan Temple, the second sister practices in guangde temple, and only the third sister practices far away and practices in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea". Guangde temple and Lingquan Temple, as the Dojo of Guanyin, are known as "the hometown of Guanyin in China" by the people. Every year on February 19, June 19, September 19 and September 19, a large number of believers in guangde temple and Lingquan Temple spontaneously organize incense parties with the theme of Guanyin folk culture, which is rare in China. Believers from neighboring provinces, 60 or 70 counties and even some Southeast Asian countries and regions came to worship, with a number of nearly one million. Master You Ke, the originator of guangde temple Mountain, is the fifth generation descendant of Shu Zen, the grandson of Tang Zhongzong and the great-grandson of Wu Zetian according to the Buddhist classic "Magic Weapons of Past Dynasties" recorded in Dunhuang documents. You Ke, a master of Buddhism, was introduced to the palace twice to give lectures, and was named as a Zen master to protect the country. Guangde temple once commanded more than 300 mountains in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and was awarded the title of 1 1 by the emperors of Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. Known as the "No.1 Zen Forest in the West", it is a rare and precious cultural relic in China. It is the "Guanyin Jewelry Seal" given by the Emperor of North Song Zhenzong and the "Guangde Zen Temple" given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Suining is the "hometown of Guanyin" in China, which has been recognized by the Buddhist community in China. The plaque at Qian Shan Gate in guangde temple, "The First Zen Forest in Xilai" and the "Hometown of Guanyin" on the rock wall of Qian Shan Gate in Lingquan Temple were inscribed by Zhao Puchu, former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. The four Zen characters of Guanyin Dojo inscribed on the archway at the entrance of Lotus Square in guangde temple were inscribed by a big monk, the former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. In 2008, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China People's Association named Suining as "the hometown of Guanyin culture in China". Guangde temple has a building area of about 8,350 square meters and a garden area of about 6,543,800 square meters. Its grand scale ranks first in the southwest. The whole temple is centered on the "Daxiong Hall" and is vertically distributed in three columns. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, * * * has nine halls and twenty-six pavilions, with clear priorities and symmetrical left and right, with the architectural layout style of the Song Dynasty. One of the three Guanyin Dojo: Maritime Guanyin-Sanya Nanshan Maritime Guanyin is located in Nanshan Scenic Area, Sanya City, Hainan Province. 1993, the Religious Affairs Bureau of the State Council, China and the Hainan Provincial People's Government approved the construction of Nanshan Temple, and carved a Guanyin statue 108 meters high in the sea in front of the temple. This statue was built by Nanhai Guanyin Merit Foundation in Sanya, Hainan, and it is the tallest statue in the world. The jujube cleaning project is known as a "world-class, century-class" Buddhist project because of its large scale, unique significance and rich Buddhist knowledge. Zhao Puchu, President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, happily wrote the inscription "Nanhai Guanyin". 1999, on September 19th of the lunar calendar, Nanshan held a groundbreaking ceremony for the "Goddess of Mercy on the Sea in Nanshan". The project lasted for 6 years and was completed on April 15, 2005. A grand opening ceremony was held on April 24th, 2005 (the 16th day of the third lunar month, Zhunti Bodhisattva's birthday). The Goddess of Mercy at Sea consists of four parts: Goddess of Mercy, Buddha's Light, Chiba Baolian and Rosewood Carved Sumitomo, with a height of108m. It consumed 65,438+000 kilograms of gold, 65,438+020 South African diamonds, thousands of rubies, emeralds, corals, turquoise, pearls and 65,438+000 kilograms of jadeite. Guanyin golden body is made of more than 200 pieces of gold with an average thickness of 1.2 mm, which are hand-shaped and welded. Because of different processing methods, gold images have different colors and textures. Guanyin at sea is15m higher than the Statue of Liberty, so Guanyin at sea is the largest stone statue in the world. Guanyin icon is a lotus flower on one side, a principal book on the other side and a Buddha bead on the other side. This is a complete model of three Guanyin statues, with a solemn treasure and a lotus throne with 108 petals. Under the lotus throne is the King Kong Terrace, and inside it is the Tong Yuan Hall, with an area of 1.5 million square meters. Jingangzhou is connected with the land coast by the 280-meter-long Puji Bridge. Together with Guanyin Square and the theme parks on both sides of the square, it forms a scenic spot of Guanyin Jingyuan with an area of nearly 300,000 square meters.
