In the spring of March, everything revives. All the teachers and students of our school went to Lingshan Scenic Area for a spring outing.
When we arrived at our destination - Lingshan Scenic Area, we saw an endless stream of Chinese and foreign tourists coming to visit. Unintentionally, I looked up and saw the Lingshan Buddha standing among the mountains. You see, his hair is like pearls piled up one by one, his ears are long and droopy, as if they are about to fall off; look at his eyes, closed slightly, as if he is watching the TV show All living beings. At this time, several auspicious clouds flew over, adding a bit of mystery to the Lingshan Giant Buddha.
When we entered the gate, a huge palm came into view. The tour guide said: "This palm is the 'first palm in the world'. It is copied according to the right hand of Lingshan Buddha, and its shape and size are the same as those of Lingshan Buddha." The Buddha's palms are all made of copper. It is 11.7 meters high, 1 meter in diameter, and weighs 13 tons in total. The diameter of the Thousand Buddha Wheel in the palm is also 2 meters! Standing in front of it is like standing in front of it. It's the same as before a small mountain. It's really the "best palm in the world".
Because "Buddha's hand" is a homophone to "Fushou", there is a saying in Lingshan that "touching the Buddha's hands brings blessings, and touching the Buddha's feet brings spiritual energy". . This big palm, which is called the "Shi Wenwei Seal" in Buddhism, represents the elimination of poverty and helping all living beings; the "Thousand Buddha Wheel" in the palm is one of the thirty-two statues of Buddhism, which symbolizes the ever-turning wheel of salvation. Meaning; there are webs connecting the fingers of the Buddha's hands, just like the webs of the toes of waterfowl. This is called the 'hand and foot web image', and it is also one of the thirty-two Buddhist images..." After listening to the tour guide's introduction, I I couldn't help but step forward and touch it to feel blessed.
After touching the Buddha's hand, we walked straight forward and came to "Hai Zi Xi Maitreya". At this time, the tour guide introduced: "This Maitreya Buddha is also called the Future Buddha. In traditional Chinese culture, Maitreya Buddha is a Buddhist image that fits the psychology of the common people. There is a folk saying that 'a big belly can tolerate things that the world cannot tolerate; a kind face always smiles' The verse of "Laughing at the ridiculous people in the world" vividly illustrates Maitreya Buddha's compassion, saving people, and being kind to others. Baizixi Maitreya is composed of a statue of Maitreya Buddha and one hundred boys six to seventy centimeters high. These one hundred children are lifelike, innocent and cute; Maitreya Buddha is amiable, compassionate, laughing, and has high artistic value. "We were amazed after hearing this.
The tour guide said that at ten o'clock, there will be a program called "Kowloon Bathing" in the square. The scene is very spectacular. I looked at my watch, oh, right away. It was ten o'clock, so I immediately called my friends and ran to the square. When I got there, I saw a lotus made of bronze standing in the center of the square. This lotus was 27.5 meters tall and weighed more than 100 tons. Under the lotus. There are four dragons carved on the big pillar. There are nine lifelike dragons with teeth and claws surrounding the lotus. They are each 2.2 meters high and about two tons. The time soon reached ten o'clock, and magnificent music was played in the square. The budding lotus in the pool slowly opened its beautiful petals, and a golden Buddha statue of the prince rose from the lotus and rotated around. At this time, 30 sprays were sprayed out from the mouths of the nine surrounding dragons. The arc-shaped water jets of several meters soared into the sky and merged with each other in the sky, bathing the Buddha statue of the prince. In an instant, drums and music were playing, fountains were blooming, and the prince's eyebrows were washed with thousands of faces. Some pilgrims around the pool knelt down and worshiped. I was curious and immediately ran to ask the tour guide what was going on. After asking, I found out that the prince standing in the lotus was the legendary Sakyamuni! As the music faded, the lotuses slowly closed. After watching the "Nine Dragon Bath", we visited the Ashoka Pillar, the "No. 1 Stone Pillar in China", and paid homage to various gods in the Xiangfu Temple...
The pleasant day passed quickly. On this day, we not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery and got exercise, but also learned a lot about the holy land of Lingshan. If we are free during the Spring Festival, we will definitely come here. When spring comes, I think this place must be a paradise on earth with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers!
