Lingshan Giant Buddha is the symbol of Buddha in the world

-----Zhuge Changqing

Buddha and Bodhisattva, as well as good gods, are in the world.

Zhuge Changqing believes that the grand and solemn Wuxi Lingshan Buddha is the symbol of Buddha in the world

Wuxi Buddha stands out in the world, which is a great event in the Chinese Buddhist circle for nearly a hundred years.

Wuxi Lingshan Giant Buddha has also become one of the symbols of Wuxi, the pearl of Taihu Lake, and is of great significance to social, cultural and economic development.

Looking back on the history of China and Buddhism, in every prosperous era, there will be highly civilized artistic crystallization, lasting for thousands of generations.

From Yungang and Longmen to Dunhuang and Dazu... now there are also Lingshan Giant Buddha, which forms a pattern of towering and echoing five aspects of the Lingshan Giant Buddha in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in the east, the Temple of Heaven Buddha in Hong Kong in the south, the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan Province in the west, the Yungang Giant Buddha in Shanxi Province in the north, and the Longmen Giant Buddha in Luoyang, Henan Province in the middle.

Zhuge Changqing: The Buddha is in China, which is a precursor to the prosperity of Buddhism in China.

The Lingshan Buddha stands on the Lingshan Mountain on the bank of Taihu Lake in Wuxi, reflecting the economic development, cultural prosperity, and social stability and harmony of this blessed land in East China. It is also an important embodiment of China's policy of freedom of religious belief, and symbolizes peace and life, like bronze, forever.

Zhuge Changqing: If you have the chance to travel, you can visit the Lingshan Buddha in Wuxi once, experience the solemnity and purity of the Buddhist holy land, and accept a spiritual baptism. Get the wisdom blessing of Buddha Sakyamuni, the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and the leap of life wisdom.

Today, Zhuge Changqing sorted out part of the data of the Lingshan Buddha in Wuxi and shared it with the predestined.

1、 Overview of Lingshan Giant Buddha:

The Lingshan Giant Buddha is located in the Xiaolingshan area on the south side of Qinlufeng, Mount Ma, Wuxi. It was the former site of Xiangfu Temple, a famous temple in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The location of the Great Buddha is the Xiaolingshan named by Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, so it is named Lingshan Giant Buddha.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Everything is cause and effect, everything is chance. Monk Tang went to the west to get scriptures and retrieved scriptures from the Buddha. Today's Buddha statue of Sakyamuni stands on the Lingshan Mountain named by Monk Tang. Amitabha, the Buddha's predestination is unique.

Lingshan Giant Buddha Scenic Spot is located in Wuxi Taihu Lake National Tourism Resort, covering an area of about 30 hectares. To the south of the Great Buddha lies Taihu Lake, with its back leaning against Lingshan Mountain, its left hand holding the green dragon (mountain), and its right hand holding the white tiger (mountain). It is a rare treasure land of Buddha.

The Lingshan Buddha is 88 meters high, 79 meters high and 9 meters high.

The shaping of the Lingshan Buddha was completed according to the records of the 32 forms of the Buddha Sutra. The "fearless seal" in the right hand of the Buddha represents the removal of pain, and the "and wish seal" in the left hand represents the giving of happiness, both of which are blessings and show the Buddha's mercy.

Zhuge Changqing: The photo above shows the two fingerprints of Buddha.

The opening ceremony of the Lingshan Buddha was co-hosted by the eminent monk Dade of the three major sects in the world today.

2、 History of Lingshan Giant Buddha:

The history of Lingshan can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. It is said that Xuanzang came back from the West to the Xiaoling Mountain, and saw "mountains and trees". The scenery was extraordinary, and he was greatly appreciated, saying, "There is no difference in the victory of the vultures in the West"! So it was named Xiaoling Mountain.

Lingjiu Mountain in India is the place where Sakyamuni became a Buddha. It is a famous Buddhist shrine. He asked his eldest disciple, Guiji, to preside over Dharma here. Xiaolingshan Temple developed gradually. The Lingshan Giant Buddha, including the Lotus Seat, is eighty-eight meters high, seventeen meters higher than the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. It is the highest giant Buddha in China so far. If three layers of foundation are added, the total height will reach 101.5 meters.

3、 Lingshan Giant Buddha Scenic Spot Introduction:

1. Releasing pond

It is a place for believers to set free. There are three bridges on the release pool, Ci'en Bridge in the east, Pudu Bridge in the west, and Dajue Bridge in the middle. It means that disaster can be alleviated through Ci'en Bridge, and when you cross Pudu Bridge, you should be blessed. When you cross Dajue Bridge, you should take care of your body and mind.

Zhuge Changqing: Buddha said that among all merits and virtues, release comes first. Buddha and Bodhisattva are compassionate and tell the world to be merciful and save all living beings. Free life=merciful sentient beings=universal sentient beings=enlightenment=blessing=developing wisdom.

2. Xiangfu Temple.

The Xiangfu Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was first built when the Buddhist monk Xuanzang gave the small Lingshan Mountain to Zen. It has a history of more than 1000 years from the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and even modern times.

3. Octagonal well

The legend of Bajiao Well: Bajiao Well, a dragon well, is shaped like a dragon. It was originally the source of water for the fragrant kitchen in the temple, and it was unfathomable. All the four disciples said that it was connected to the Taihu Lake. The water was as flat as a mirror, neither overflowing nor drying up, regardless of flood or drought. It is said that every time Qianlong came to the temple, he would take the well spring to cook tea, which is called the Double Dragon Association. After the completion of the renovation of the Xiangfu Temple, Ms. Weng Lilian of the Xiangjiang River donated 180000 yuan to build the octagonal well pavilion, which is marked by the recognition of Longde and Le Shi.

Bajiao Well is located on the east side of Xingtan Square, with Bajiao Well Pavilion on it. The octagonal well pavilion is all made of carved Jinyun stone columns and stone slabs, supported by eight stone columns carved with dragons. The top of the pavilion is octagonal, and the middle is hollow. It is made of stone plates. The image of eight immortals and other patterns of flowers and birds are carved on the inside of the stone plates. There are eight dragons carved on the eight ridges of the pavilion roof, with the faucets facing outward in eight directions, reflecting the theory of hidden dragons in the octagonal well. The four words "Bajiao Jingting" were written by the elder of Mingshan.

5. White lotus pond

On the southeast side of the Bajiao Well Pavilion, there is a gourd-shaped pool called White Lotus Pool. After the completion of the restoration of the Xiangfu Temple, a monument was specially erected here for the record.

6. Lingshan Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

The Lingshan Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is dedicated to nearly ten thousand small Buddha statues of the Lingshan Giant Buddha, for visitors to worship and welcome.

In 2000, Lingshan Scenic Spot added two wonderful scenic spots. The large bronze relief "Maitreya, a hundred children's play", is very popular with tourists.

7. Kowloon irrigation bath

According to the Xingxing Sutra, Buddha Sakyamuni was able to speak and walk as soon as he was born. He took seven steps in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest. Each step, a lotus flower bloomed on the ground. He pointed to the sky and the ground with one hand and said, "Heaven and the world are the only one." At this time, two pools of water suddenly appeared in the garden, and nine giant dragons appeared in the sky, spitting out water columns to bathe and purify themselves. This story is very magical and makes people think.

Zhuge Changqing: "The heaven and the world, the only one", refers to the heaven and the world, the ten sides of the universe, there is only one "I", all things are equal, all living beings are equal. It means that everyone has Buddha nature and can become a Buddha. In other words, the Vajra Sutra says "no self, no man, no sentient beings, no longevity".

In the "Jiulong Bathing, Flowers Bloom to Buddha" in the Jiulong Bathing Square, when the music of "Buddha's Birthday" was played, the huge six lotus petals slowly opened, and a golden statue of the Prince Buddha with a height of 7.2 meters and a gilded body rose slowly from the lotus with one hand pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the ground. At this time, a water column with a height of tens of meters was sprayed from the mouth of Jiulong to bathe the Prince Buddha. The statue of the Prince Buddha revolves clockwise in the huge water curtain, symbolizing "the Buddha in bloom" and "the light of the Buddha". At this time, the mouth of eight groups of phoenix around the fountain will flow clean water for everyone to drink. This is the "Eight Merits and Virtues Water", that is, the "Holy Water" of Buddhism.

8. Lingshan Vatican

The Vatican Palace in Lingshan is majestic and has a solemn and harmonious layout, with a total construction area of more than 70000 square meters. The architectural form of the Lingshan Buddhist Palace breaks through the tradition, and is mainly made of solid and durable materials such as stone. It uses a large number of tall colonnades, long-span beams and columns, towering domes, and large-area halls, which not only embodies the profound and noble nature of Buddhism, but also integrates traditional cultural elements with distinctive contemporary characteristics

Each building space in the Vatican is independent and interconnected, and consists of a hall, a corridor hall, a tower hall, an altar, a three-hall conference hall, and a banquet hall for thousands of people. The exquisite Dongyang wood carving, the handmade murals of Dunhuang technicians, the dazzling glass giant, the exquisite and elegant Ou plastic relief murals, the exquisite Yangzhou lacquerware, the magnificent and magnificent oil painting group, the ancient and exquisite Jingdezhen blue and white color vats... These artistic treasures, which collect many cultural heritage and many artistic treasures, are scattered in all areas of the Lingshan Vatican, The excellent traditional culture is vividly interpreted, which makes people feel dizzy and memorable.

The Vatican Temple, which has the functions of conference and performance, can hold a large international conference for 2000 people. During the recess, the large-scale situational performance "Auspicious Ode to Lingshan", which is rehearsed by the top team directors in China, including Lin Zhaohua and He Xuntian, with the theme of promoting traditional culture and enlightening spiritual wisdom, will be held every day. A group of dream-like wonderful scenes will reproduce the magic and spectacular scenes of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, bringing the audience unprecedented new experience and unforgettable cultural experience.

9. Five Yin Tancheng

The five seals mandala landscape is another tourist boutique project after the Lingshan Vatican. The Five Seal Jar gathers Tibetan art decoration, integrates dozens of Tibetan traditional architectural decoration techniques, such as color painting, mural, wood carving, Thangka, etc., meticulously displays the unique art of the Jar, and the essence of Tibetan Buddhist culture and art can be reproduced and refined.

10. Buddha's Palm: the best palm in the world

Located on the left side of the sidewalk of the Buddha's Square, it is a copper palm copied from the right hand of the Buddha of Lingshan, with the same shape and size.

The first palm in the world is one of the most popular scenic spots in the Lingshan Giant Buddha Scenic Spot. The right hand is printed with the "Fearless Seal". The Buddhist saying is to remove the pain of all living beings and comfort their souls. The thousand-spoke wheel in the palm of the Buddha is one of the thirty-two phases of the Buddha, implying the idea of the Buddha's long rotation. There is a membrane between the fingers of the Buddha, which is called the hand and foot net phase, and also one of the thirty-two phases of the Buddha.

灵山大佛是佛在人间的象征......

      -----诸葛长青

  佛法在人间，佛菩萨、善神也在人间。

  诸葛长青认为，宏伟庄严的无锡灵山大佛，就是佛在人间的象征......

  无锡大佛雄峙人间，是中国佛教界近百年来的一件盛事。

  无锡灵山大佛，也成为太湖明珠---无锡的标志之一，对社会文化和经济发展具有重大意义。

  回顾中国的历史和佛教的历史，在每一个繁荣时代，都会出现高度文明的艺术结晶，千秋万代，历久不衰。

  从云岗、龙门到敦煌、大足……如今又有灵山大佛，从而在全国形成东有江苏无锡灵山大佛，南有香港天坛大佛，西有四川乐山大佛，北有山西云岗大佛，中有河南洛阳龙门大佛的五方五佛特立耸峙而相呼应的格局。

  诸葛长青：佛在中国，就是预兆佛法兴盛在中国。

  灵山大佛矗立在无锡太湖之滨的灵山上，反映了华东这一福泽宝地经济发展、文化繁荣、社会安定祥和，也是中国宗教信仰自由政策的重要体现，并象征和平与生命如青铜一样，亘古长青。

  诸葛长青：有缘者如果有旅游的机会，可以去参拜一次无锡灵山大佛，体会佛教圣地的庄严清净，接受一次心灵的洗礼。得到佛祖释迦牟尼佛智慧加持，得到佛菩萨保佑，得到人生智慧的飞跃......。

  今天，诸葛长青把无锡灵山大佛的部分资料整理之后，分享给有缘者。

  一、灵山大佛概述：

  灵山大佛坐落于无锡马山秦履峰南侧的小灵山地区，该处原为唐宋名刹祥符寺之旧址，大佛所在位置是唐玄奘命名的小灵山，故名灵山大佛。

  诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。一切都是因果，一切都是机缘，唐僧到西天取经，从佛祖那里取回经书，今天的佛祖释迦牟尼佛像就立在唐僧命名的灵山上。阿弥陀佛，佛缘殊胜啊。

  灵山大佛景区位于无锡太湖国家旅游度假区，占地面积约30公顷。大佛南面太湖，背倚灵山，左挽青龙（山），右牵白虎（山），地灵形胜，风水佳绝，为难得之佛国宝地。

  灵山大佛通高 88米，佛体79米，莲花瓣9米。

   灵山大佛的塑造，依据佛经如来三十二形相的记载完成。大佛右手“施无畏印”代表除却痛苦，左手“与愿印”代表给予快乐，均为祝福之相，显现佛陀慈悲的法相。

  诸葛长青：上面的佛祖照片就显示了佛祖的两个手印。

  灵山大佛开光盛典由当今世界三大教派高僧大德共同主持。

  二、灵山大佛历史：

  灵山的历史可追溯到1000多年前的唐代，相传玄奘西天取经归来，来到小灵山，见“层峦丛翠”，景色非凡，大为赞赏，曰“无殊西竺国灵鹫之胜也”！于是就给此山起名小灵山。

  印度的灵鹫山，就是释迦牟尼得道成佛的地方，是著名的佛教圣地，并嘱大弟子窥基在这里主持开法。小灵山寺就由此逐渐发展。灵山大佛，包括莲花座在内通高为八十八米，比四川乐山大佛还要高出十七米，是迄今为止中国最高的巨型佛像。如果加上三层座基，总高度达一百零一点五米。

  三、灵山大佛景点介绍：

  1、放生池

  乃信众放生之所。放生池上有三桥，东为慈恩桥，西为普渡桥，中为大觉桥，取意为经慈恩桥可消灾，过普渡桥当得福，走过大觉桥，众生当收摄身心。

  诸葛长青：佛说，诸功德中放生第一，佛菩萨慈悲为怀，告诉世人当慈悲救众生，普渡众生。放生=慈恩众生=普渡众生=觉悟=福报=开发智慧。

  2、祥符禅寺。

  祥符禅寺始建于唐，传为玄奘法师赐禅小灵山时初建，历宋、元、明、清乃至近代，已有千余年历史。

  3 、八角井

  八角井的传说：八角井，一名龙井，八角乃状其形。原为寺中香积厨汲水之源，深不可测。四众弟子皆谓其通太湖，无论洪旱，水平如镜，不溢不涸。有言乾隆每至寺中，必取井泉煮茗，民间称之为双龙会。祥符寺重修告竣，香江翁丽莲女士捐资十八万元，建八角井亭，以彰龙德，勒石为记。

  八角井位于杏坛广场东侧，上有八角井亭。八角井亭全部由经过雕刻的缙云石柱、石板镶砌而成，下面由八根刻有神龙的石柱支撑。亭顶呈八角形，中间透空，由石板拼装镶嵌而成，石板内侧刻有八仙的形象和其他花鸟的图案。亭顶八条屋脊上刻有八条龙，龙头向外，朝向八个方向，体现了八角井里隐龙之说。“八角井亭”四字，系茗山长老所题。

  5、白莲池

  在八角井亭的东南侧，有一口形如葫芦的水池，名为白莲池。祥符禅寺修复竣工后，还特地在这里竖碑为记。

  6、灵山万佛殿。

  灵山万佛殿供奉着近万尊灵山大佛之真身小佛像，供游人瞻拜迎请。

  2000年灵山景区新增两处精彩景点。大型青铜浮雕“百子戏弥勒”喜庆吉祥，深受游客喜爱。

  7、九龙灌浴

  据《本行经》记载：佛祖释迦牟尼一诞生就能说话会走路，他向东南西北四个方向各走了七步，每走一步，地上就开出一朵莲花。他一手指天，一手指地，说道：“天上天下，唯吾独尊”，这时候花园里忽然出现了两方池水，天空中出现九条巨龙，吐出水柱，为其沐浴净身。这个故事十分神奇，让人浮想联翩。

  诸葛长青：“天上天下，唯吾独尊”，指的是天上天下、宇宙十方，只有一个“我”，万物平等，众生平等。意思是说人人都有佛性，人人都可以成佛。也就是《金刚经》说的“无我相、无人相、无众生相、无寿者相”。

  在“九龙灌浴，花开见佛”在九龙灌浴广场，当《佛之诞》音乐奏响时，巨大的六片莲花瓣徐徐绽开，一尊高达7.2米全身鎏金的金身太子佛像，一手指天，一手指地，从莲花中缓缓升起，这时，九龙口中一齐喷射出数十米高的水柱，为太子佛像沐浴。太子佛像在巨幅水幕中顺时针环绕一周，象征着“花开见佛”、“佛光普照”。此时，喷泉周围八组凤凰的口中会流出净水，供大家饮用，这是“八功德水”，即佛教“圣水”。

  8、灵山梵宫

  灵山梵宫建筑气势磅礴，布局庄严和谐，总建筑面积达7万余平方米。灵山梵宫的建筑形式突破传统，以石材等坚固耐久材料为主，大量运用高大的廊柱、大跨度的梁柱、高耸的穹顶、超大面积的厅堂等，既体现佛教的博大精深与崇高，又将传统文化元素与鲜明时代特征相融合.

  梵宫内部各建筑空间独立且互相贯通，由门厅、廊厅、塔厅、圣坛、三传会议厅、千人宴会厅等组成。精雕细琢的东阳木雕、敦煌技师的手工壁画、光灿夺目的琉璃巨制、精致典雅的瓯塑浮雕壁画、技艺精湛的扬州漆器、恢宏大气的油画组图、古雅精丽的景泰蓝须弥灯、精美的景德镇青花斗彩缸……这些汇集众多文化遗产、众多艺术瑰宝的艺术珍品遍布灵山梵宫的各个区域，将优秀的传统文化演绎得淋漓尽致，令人目不暇接、回味无穷。

  具有会议和演出多功能的梵宫圣坛，可以举行2000人的大型国际会议。休会期间，由林兆华、何训田等组成的国内顶尖团队导演排练的，以弘扬传统文化、启迪心灵智慧为主旨的大型情境演出《灵山吉祥颂》将每日举行。一组组如梦如幻的美妙景象将再现奥运开闭幕式般神奇壮观的场景，带给观者前所未有的崭新体验和难以忘怀的文化体验。

  9、五印坛城

  五印坛城景观，是继灵山梵宫之后的又一旅游精品工程。五印坛城荟萃藏族艺术装饰，融合了彩绘、壁画、木雕、唐卡等数十种藏地传统建筑装饰技艺，精心展示了独特的坛城艺术，藏传佛教文化艺术精华得以再现与提炼。

  10、如来佛掌：天下第一掌

  位于佛手广场行道的左侧，是按灵山大佛右手复制，且形状大小完全一样的铜质手掌。

  天下第一掌是灵山大佛景区香火最旺的景点之一，这只右手的印上是“施无畏印”，佛教的说法是寓意除却众生痛苦，抚慰众生心灵，佛掌心的千辐轮，是佛的三十二相之一，喻示佛法长转的意思，佛手指之间，有膜相连，称为手足缦网相，也是佛的三十二相之一。 （本文参考资料：百度网络资料）
