Now Ye Chao has decided to learn from Master Huineng, and he plans to learn the kind of cultivation that goes straight to the hearts of the people and becomes a Buddha by seeing nature. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Uh, long-term accumulation, once an epiphany.

Otherwise, after learning the theories of Buddhism and Taoism, Ye Chao himself didn't know if he had so much time to consume. After all, there are not many years in life, immortality, and it is just a legend on earth.

Longhu Mountain has nothing to gain, Qingcheng Mountain has nothing to gain.

Ye Chao stayed for two days and decided to transfer from Qingcheng to Emei, a sacred place for Buddhism, where Buddhism is said to have been introduced to China in the first place.

After arriving in Emei, Ye Chao secretly searched, but he found nothing.

There were monks in Emei, but Ye Chao couldn't find a monk who could guide him, so he had to leave disappointed. It's hard to find a master......

Ye Chao shook his head, he didn't think that knocking on the wooden fish every day would produce any wisdom and have an epiphany, but he was depressed, so he went to see the Leshan Giant Buddha again.

Buddha, so much belief in it, existence, there must be his reason.

Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as Lingyun Giant Buddha, is located on the side of Lingyun Temple on the east bank of the Nanmin River in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, near the confluence of the three rivers of Dadu River, Tsing Yi River and Min River.

The Big Buddha is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha, 71 meters high, and is the largest cliff stone carving statue in China.

The Leshan Giant Buddha was excavated in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (713) and completed in the 19th year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty (803), which lasted about 90 years.

Ninety years, about a century.

It's really a big project that costs people and money.

However, it is said that the excavation of the Buddha is a good deed. The reason, it is said to be this:

In ancient times, where the three rivers of Leshan converged, the three rivers of Minjiang, Qingyi and Dadu converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, and the water potential was quite fierce, and the boat series was often subverted so far. Whenever there is a summer flood, the river water hits the mountain wall, often causing the tragedy of boat destruction and death.

Haitong Zen Master initiated in order to reduce the water potential and purify all sentient beings, and recruited manpower and material resources to repair and chisel.

The construction of the Buddha statue began in the early years of the Tang Dynasty (713 AD), and when the Buddha was repaired to the shoulder, the monk Haitong died. After Haitong's death, the project was interrupted for a time.

Many years later, Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu made Zhang Qiu and Qiong donate money, Haitong's apprentice led the craftsman to continue to build the Buddha, due to the huge project, the imperial court ordered to give hemp salt tax, so that the project progressed rapidly. When the Leshan Giant Buddha was repaired to the knee, the successor Zhang Qiu and Qiong moved to the household department to be the secretary of the household, and the project was stopped again.

Forty years later, Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu made Wei Gao donate money to continue to build the Leshan Giant Buddha. With the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took 90 years to complete the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (803 AD).

Ye Chao went to take a look at the topography of the Leshan Giant Buddha, and it was really the confluence of three rivers.

The mage in history, I don't know if he saw some mystery, wanted to dig a big Buddha here to suppress this place.

Is it demonic, or is it ghostly?

Mortals can't see this, but it's true that boats are often wrecked and people die, and the water is urgent.

However, Ye Chao can sense that there is a wealth of dark energy here.

Look at the Nale Mountain Giant Buddha again, sitting by the river, with a solemn expression, it does have the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

"The ancient monk is really a Taoist person, but it's a pity that now, why can't I meet one?" Ye Chao was quite depressed, he was born with a good way, a Taoist seeker, and a high way is not encountered.

Now, he thinks it's not bad to find a monk, but the trip to Emei disappointed him. He didn't meet any eminent monks, at least, people who had the ability to guide him, no.

Now that he came to view the Leshan Giant Buddha and sensed the unusualness of this place, Ye Chao admired the Haitong Zen master more and more.

Yes, this is the same as the yin qi is too heavy, and it is reasonable to build the big Buddha.

Although this move has lasted too long and seems to have cost the people and money, with the suppression of the Big Buddha, this is no longer a nightmare for the boat family.

If you can travel through time and space, maybe that Haitong Zen Master is qualified to give Ye Chao guidance, but unfortunately, in the era of the end of the law, it is rare to meet a master.

There are a lot of fake masters, but it's okay for this kind of person to deceive ordinary people, but it's impossible to deceive Ye Chao, who is proficient in heart magic.

Leshan Giant Buddha, the head of the Buddha and the mountain together, step on the river, hands touch the knees, the Buddha posture is symmetrical, the posture is solemn, and the mountain is chiseled into the river. The big Buddha is 71 meters high, the head is 14.7 meters high, the head is 10 meters wide, the hair bun is 1021, the ears are 7 meters long, the nose is 5.6 meters long, the eyebrows are 5.6 meters long, the mouth and eyes are 3.3 meters long, the neck is 3 meters high, the shoulder width is 24 meters, the fingers are 8.3 meters long, from the knee to the instep is 28 meters, the instep is 8.5 meters wide, and the foot surface can sit around more than 100 people.

This big Buddha is the Buddha of Zhenjiang who calms the floods.

However, it is not only the majesty of the Buddha statue that suppresses it, but also the great Buddha itself has a very clever drainage system.

Behind the ears and skull of the Leshan Giant Buddha, there is a set of cleverly designed and hidden drainage system, which plays an important role in protecting the Giant Buddha.

It prevents the Buddha statue from being eroded by rain, and also relieves the water potential here.

The Qing Dynasty poet Wang Shizhen has a poem about the Giant Buddha of Yongle Mountain, "The spring flows from the ancient Buddha's bun".

In the 18 layers of snails at the head of the Buddha, there is a horizontal drainage ditch on the 4th, 9th and 18th floors, which are respectively modified with hammer ash masonry, and cannot be seen from afar. There are also gutters in the collar and folds, and there is a dissolving gutter on the left side of the chest, which is connected to the gutter on the back of the right arm.

Behind the two ears against the mountain cliff, there are 9.15 meters long, 1.26 meters wide, 3.38 meters high left and right communication caves, there is a hole at each end of the dorsal side of the chest, each other is not chiseled, the right hole is 16.5 meters deep, 0.95 meters wide, 1.35 meters high, the left hole is 8.1 meters deep, 0.95 meters wide, 1.1 meters high. These wonderful ditches and caves form a scientific system of drainage, moisture insulation and ventilation, which has played an important role in protecting the Buddha from erosive weathering for thousands of years.

The two holes that are interconnected on the left and right, because of the mountain springs, the inner cliff wall has condensed a calcareous compound with a thickness of about 5-10 cm, while the cliff wall on the side of the Buddha body is still a red sand original rock, and it is relatively dry.

The two caves that are not open to the left and right, the hole wall is wet, the bottom is waterlogged, and the hole mouth is constantly flowing out, so the chest of the Buddha is about 2 meters wide with a water-soaked belt. Obviously, this is due to the fact that the hole is not penetrated. I don't know why the builders didn't open it up back then.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a Maitreya Buddha.

The Tang Dynasty worshipped Maitreya Buddha.

Buddhist scriptures say that Maitreya will be born "the world will be peaceful", during the Wu Zhou period, Wu Zetian had ordered the fabrication of a "Great Cloud Sutra" to prove that she is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and the people's worship of Maitreya helped her ascend to the throne in the feudal era of male superiority and female inferiority.

Due to Wu Zetian's vigorous advocacy, the wind of shaping Maitreya in the whole country became popular. The construction of the Leshan Giant Buddha is only more than 20 years away from the Wu Zetian era, so when Haitong built the Leshan Giant Buddha, it naturally chose the Maitreya Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha who can bring light and happiness, which is consistent with the requirements of the Buddha of Zhenjiang who calmed the flood.

In the Chinese Han Buddhist culture, the Maitreya Buddha statue has changed greatly, the first stage is the Maitreya Maitreya who was introduced to China from India, the second stage is the ancient Buddha Maitreya with "Chinese characteristics", and the third stage is the Budai Maitreya.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is an ancient Buddha Maitreya with "Chinese characteristics".

Because the Giant Buddha is built to calm the water, this kind of smooth and stable sitting posture can give boaters the courage and determination to overcome the rapids and rapids.

Maitreya Buddha is based on the image of a monk named Qithis during the Five Dynasties period in China.

This is a native of Fenghua County, Zhejiang, who is kind and charitable, can predict the weather and predict the good luck of people, often holds a cloth bag around the fate, before his death he once said "Maitreya is really Maitreya, incarnated into hundreds of billions, always show the world, the world does not know."

Therefore, everyone believes that he is the embodiment of Maitreya Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha in the temple has also been molded into his image - a cloth bag monk with a smile and a big belly.

This big Buddha is indeed shocking.

It's a pity that the Buddha statue is still there, but of course the Haitong Zen master who presided over the Buddha restoration is no longer there.

Before leaving, Ye Chao saw the words "turning back is the shore" on the stone wall, "Looking back is the shore, it is indeed good, but turning back is the shore, and what you see is only the other side." On the other side, I want to be far away, and I may not be able to go ashore when I see the shore. ”

The other side that Ye Chao said, that is, the blessings of the afterlife that the Buddha said, the suffering in this life, if you practice diligently, you will definitely have good results in the next life.

Isn't the afterlife the other side?

You can see the other side, but can you reach it today? So, even if you can see the other side, you may not be able to go ashore when you see the shore.

The Buddha said that if he turned back, he would be able to go ashore, but he did not say that if he saw the shore, he would definitely be able to go ashore.

Therefore, Ye Chao will say that turning back is the shore, but seeing the shore may not be able to go ashore.
