The total height of the Guanyin statue is 33 meters, of which the Buddha statue is 18 meters, is the symbol of the sea and sky Buddha country.
Ⅳ Putuoshan is Guanyin Bodhisattva dojo, but there is the East China Sea, why call the South China Sea Guanyin it
Tonic Luo Jia Shan originally in South India. After the introduction of the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy to China, the place where she lived is also called "Patchan Lujia", and the world is called the north yard of Mount Putuo Lujia in South India.
Ⅳ Who knows the origin of the South China Sea Goddess of Mercy
Putuo Mountain was originally known as Meicen Mountain, due to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Mei Fu in the practice of monasticism in this name. Tang Xian Tong four years (863 years), the Japanese monk Hui E from the Wutai Mountain please Guanyin idol back to China, through the Lotus Ocean encounter wind waves, thought Guanyin refused to go to Japan, they left the idol, said "refused to go Guanyin". In the second year of Zhengming of the Liang Dynasty (916) in the Five Dynasties, the Guanyin Temple was built. In the third year of Yuanfeng of the Song Dynasty (1080), the court gave silver and remodeled it as Baotuo Guanyin Temple. Since then, the incense flourished, the Southern Song Dynasty Jiading seven years (1214), the finalization of the Guanyin Road, and according to the Buddhist scriptures, "complementary Tanluo Jia", more mountains named Putuo Luo Jia Mountain, also known as the complementary Luo Jia Mountain. In the Ming Dynasty, a small island in the south of the Lotus Ocean is called Mount Lorca, and there are two mountain names, Putuo Mountain and Mount Lorca.
And Guanyin in ancient Tianzhu on the South China Sea Guanyin, rumor has it that because: First, the Guanyin out of the ancient Tianzhu (now India), and the ancient Tianzhu belongs to South Asia, coupled with the Guanyin where the complementary Tanloka Mountain in the South China Sea, it is known as the South China Sea Guanyin; Second, the "South China Sea" and the "South Wuxi". Second, "South China Sea" and "Nanwu" are similar, the famous Tang Dynasty writer Wang Bo's "Guanyin Daishi Praise" said: "South China Sea is a deep and secluded place, blue blue Saga even the water, the name of the seven jewels of the Loka Mountain, the self-contained Goddess of Mercy in his residence." Wang Bo died in 676, even if this "praise" was written in 676, but also than "refused to go to the Goddess of Mercy" to Putuo Mountain 187 years earlier. It can be seen, not because of the South China Sea Putuo Mountain called the South China Sea Guanyin, on the contrary, because of the South China Sea Guanyin, Putuo Mountain was renamed as the South China Sea Putuo Mountain.
The name of the South China Sea Putuoshan, is the need for the Buddha's foreign relations, is the beginning of the Yuan by the Putuoshan monk Ruzhi and a mountain proposed.
According to the "renewed Zitongjian" records: the beginning of the Yuan, interrupted the Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. Later, according to the Ministry of Justice Secretary Cui Zhi Si, decided to communicate with Japan. Taking into account Japan's belief in Buddhism, Putuo Mountain, a Japanese monk stayed "refused to go to Guanyin" of this relationship, the court has twice sent Putuo Mountain monk mission to Japan. To Yuan twenty-one years (1284) in the first month, the court sent Wang Ji-weng mission to Japan, and ordered the Putuo monk Ruzhi to go with. At that time, Ruzhi proposed: Guanyin should follow the name of the ancient Tianzhu, called the South Sea Guanyin, Putuo Mountain is Guanyin dojo, should also be renamed the South Sea Putuo Mountain. Later, Wang Ji-weng was killed by his drunken subordinates, and his mission was not accomplished.
Dade three years (1299 years) in March, Yuan Chengzong issued an edict: "order the Putuo monk Yishan mission to Japan." At that time, Yishan had two titles: one is the President of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Buddhism; the second is the Royal Decree as the master of the Myo-Chi Hong-Ji. Yishan thought that since the imperial court valued the relationship between the Japanese monks stayed "refused to go to Guanyin", it should tell the Japanese, stayed refused to go to Guanyin place has been Guanyin dojo, the Japanese will feel encouraged. However, the name of the mountain and the name of the bodhisattva is not close, foreigners are not easy to understand, should be based on the name of the South China Sea Guanyin, renamed the South China Sea Putuo Mountain.
Ichiyama went to Japan as the abbot of Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, and because he publicized the refusal to go to Guanyin and the origins of Guanyin's way of life, he was respected by the Japanese *** and the Buddhist community, and the Emperor of Japan invited him to preach at Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto. Ilsan stayed in Japan for 19 years and created the "Ilsan School" of Zen Buddhism. After Ilsan's death, the Emperor of Japan personally inscribed his statue and praised him, saying, "Ten thousand people in the Song Dynasty are outstanding, but this dynasty is a national teacher." And in the South Zen Temple for him to build towers, shrines. A mountain of this mission to Japan, not only for the restoration of the Yuan junior high school broken Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations established a great merit, and the South China Sea, the name of Mount Putuo spread throughout Japan.

Ⅶ Legend of Guanyin in the South China Sea
Look, overhead is a blue sky; look around, smoke on both sides of the sea is clear and bright, Hui E had to turn the bow of the boat, around the smoke towards the front. But the sailboat sailed to the left, the smoke drifted to the left; sailboat sailed to the right, the smoke also drifted to the right. Ship in the sea around and around, and finally back to the Putuo Mountain on the ocean, Hui E think of no way, had to once again the ship into the mountains in the middle of the plain, anchor down sails, and so the smoke dissipated and then go.
The morning of the third day, the red sun rose from the sea, radiant, haze, Hui E walked into the cabin, looked up, but see the colorful clouds in the middle of the building, there is a lofty and gorgeous colorful pagoda, nymphs back and forth, beads of color, dazzling people's eyes. He was happy, bowed, immediately set sail. Strangely enough, the boat out of the mountain plain, the wonders of the sky suddenly disappeared, dark clouds covered the sun, the sea breeze set off huge waves. Hui E was anxious, thinking that he had been delayed here for several days, and when would he be able to invite the Goddess of Mercy back to Japan if he kept going on like this? The wind and the waves are nothing! The first thing I want to do is to get out of the boat and start a new one!
Hui E asked the boatman to take the boat out of the mountain plain and sailed forward against the wind and waves. The wind is more fierce, the waves are bigger, but Hui E heart is not panic, not chaotic, stable and stand in the bow, Chung Ching Nianfo. Although the wind and waves slowly calmed down, but did not wait to sail far, the sailboat suddenly stopped, as if rooted, in and out. He looked down, only to see the sea drifting an iron lotus, the sailboat was surrounded in the center. Hui E was shocked, thinking, once and for all, sailed the boat, it is the wind and waves blocked, and today there is an iron lotus lock boat, could it be that the Goddess of Mercy does not want to go to Japan? He returned to the cabin, kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Buddha prayed and said, "If the Japanese beings have no chance to see the Buddha, I will follow the direction pointed out by the great master, and build another temple to feed my Buddha."
Before the words left his mouth, he suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound, from the bottom of the sea drilled out an iron ox. The iron ox swam forward while chewing the iron lotus in a big mouth. After a while, a channel appeared on the surface of the ocean, just enough to pass a sailboat. The sailboat followed the iron ox and went along the channel. Soon, there was a "boom" sound, the iron ox sank to the bottom of the sea, the ocean full of iron lotus also disappeared. Hui E fixed God to see, the original sailboat back to the Putuo Mountain in a mountain plain.
The clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and the sun hung high in the sky. At this time, a fisherman came down from the mountain and said to Hui E: "I have seen all the things in the past few days with my own eyes. It is not possible for you to leave. It is better to ask the Venerable Master to stay at my home for a few days before you leave!"
Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Hui E agreed. With the Guanyin Buddha statue in his hand, he followed the fisherman up Putuo Mountain and looked around. But see the golden sandy beach, the tide recedes and rises; lush green peaks around, is a vast ocean. Morning watch the sunrise, listen to the sound of the tide at night, compared with the Wutai Mountain, really another scenery. He thought, since the Goddess of Mercy does not want to go to Japan, build a temple here, so that the Goddess of Mercy settled in Putuo Mountain! The fishermen around him heard that they wanted to build a temple, they all came to help, and before long, a small nunnery was created.
The nunnery was built, the statue of Buddha was provided, and Huie E worshipped it from day to day. From then on, this sandalwood carved statue of Guanyin Buddha stayed in Putuo Mountain. The small nunnery is called the "Refuse to go to the Guanyin Temple".
