In the north, there are many statues of heavenly kings, and the statue of the universal protector is Galand in the Mahayana Buddhist temple "Tianwang Temple" in China. I live in Jinshan, Xumi Mountain. I am green, wearing armor, lying on the silver mouse in my left hand and holding an umbrella (or a treasure flag) in my right hand.
The king's dress is gorgeous. Wearing a crown decorated with gold and precious stones, the Buddha's body is covered with precious jewels, and two elegant green ribbons are wrapped around the lotus seat behind him. Your majesty's love riding is a lion with a red mane and a white face. With its big mouth open, it can spit out all kinds of treasures and belongings and save all poor and needy beings.
The venerable master holds the building symbolizing victory in his right hand, symbolizing the wealth and happiness brought by the venerable master and the king to the kind people, as well as the precious rain and dew indispensable for good weather. Holding a snow-white treasure-spitting mouse in his left hand symbolizes that he can give endless treasures.
The four heavenly kings come from Brahmanism, that is, the 20 days in Hindu mythology, that is, the king of holding the country, the king of growing up, the king of wide eyes and the king of learning more. Twenty days is the god of eight sects in Vedic mythology. With the gradual development of Buddhism, Buddhism has integrated eight groups in Hindu mythology (Zhutian, Longzhong Duinaga, Haga, Asura and other tribes) into Buddhist mythology.
Four heavenly kings:
The east holds the king of the country, pipa, and Dongsheng China.
The growth king of the south, holding a sword, protects the south of the mainland;
West Wide-eyed King holds a snake or a red dragon to protect Xiniuhezhou;
There are many heavenly kings in the north who hold umbrellas to protect Luzhou in the north.
