Analysis:

III Buddha

From right to left, the three Buddha statues enshrined in the Hall of the Great Hero are the pharmacist Buddha in the Oriental Pure Glass World, the Sakyamuni Buddha in the Tathagata World and the Amitabha Buddha in the Western Paradise. Because it refers to the geographical scope, it is called "Heng III Buddha".

Sakyamuni is the leader of the female world, which is the world where Sakyamuni educates the world. It is full of unbearable suffering, and all beings are sinful. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas strive to educate and show great mercy. The pharmacist Buddha is the leader of the pure glass world, dominating people's health, food and clothing, physical and mental well-being, and having children. In the Buddhist temple, he holds a bowl in his left hand and a pill in his right hand, showing a lovely image of saving lives; Amitabha is the leader of the western paradise. People here are carefree, but they can enjoy themselves. Gold is land, jewels are like mountains, flowers are red and birds are noisy.

Crossing hands is a common etiquette for Buddhists to show sincere respect.

The Buddha said, "Lotus hides the world"
