Originally known as Foding Temple, the temple was later changed to the peak of Qing Dynasty. From the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1592) to the 15th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1750), it was once called Daluoding, and it was renamed Daluoding in the 15th year of Qianlong, and it has been in use ever since. Chenghua was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, and it was rebuilt in the fifty-first year of Wanli, Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.
How did the top of Rhodes become a small courtyard? According to legend, Emperor Qianlong climbed Wutai Mountain several times, but for various reasons, he failed to worship the top of Wutai Mountain as he wished. So he told monk Qingyun, the host of Dai Luoding, that he must realize his long-cherished wish of worshipping the Five Manjusri Bodhisattva next time. After careful consideration, five Manjusri Bodhisattvas at the top of the platform were enshrined in a temple to meet the requirements of Emperor Qianlong. A few years later, Emperor Qianlong entered the Five-Party Manjusri Hall on the top of Daluo, and wrote a poem that has been told for ages: mountains and valleys embrace each other, the top of snails is adjacent to other peaks, clouds and smoke are stacked over each other, and hibiscus is alone in the flower palace. From the East China Sea in front of the window, the Millennium stage is not old, supporting five Schumann statues, and Korea suspects that it does not know the true Sect. This poem is in the monument in front of the Five Manjusri Hall. It can be seen that although Qianlong was satisfied, he suspected that the monks didn't know that the real Sect worshipped the five Manjusri Bodhisattvas on the stage so easily. Nowadays, I will see many believers bow down to the summit. Maybe they have realized it.
There are three ways to climb the top of Rhodes: the easiest and most convenient way is to take a cable car, but it costs money; The second is to take the original horse path, which is slightly wider and steeper. If you really can't, you can ride a horse.
The last one is to take the road of great wisdom. As the saying goes, if you can't reach the top of Dailuo, you won't be a guest of Mount Tai. If we don't take the road of great wisdom, it's hard to understand the hardships of facing Taiwan Province. This route was completed on 199 1 with the donation of 500,000 yuan from the abbot of Hongfa Temple in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province.
The "Big Branch Road" has a total length of108m and a width of 2.2m. It is all paved with Wutai Mountain bluestone and has 1080 steps. The name and steps of this road are related to Buddhist common sense. Wutai Mountain is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, who specializes in wisdom among all the Bodhisattvas, so the road to worship Manjusri in the five parties is the "great wisdom road"; There are 108 kinds of troubles in life; Through hardships and hardships, you can increase your intelligence and eliminate your troubles by taking the road of wisdom of 1080 steps. You can only realize it if you have experienced it.
This road is a bit steep. Boarding it, you can have a bird's eye view of the surrounding scenery, rest while boarding the ship and enjoy the scenery of the Buddhist country.
When you come to the top of the mountain with breath and fatigue, you can see a wooden arch. Its simple and mottled appearance makes people feel that it has weathered. Four pillars and three doors, double eaves. Above the middle gate, there is the word "big snail top". Passing through the archway, you can see that there is an inscription "Qingfeng" behind it. These are all delodine's previous names.
The first temple on the central axis is the Heavenly King Hall. Stone arch doors and windows, red walls and tiles, three rooms wide, single eaves and hard roofs, and a pair of couplets on both sides of the door. "Green cages in the mountains, clouds in the mountains cover Luo Qing and Fan Yu, and five manjusri and five spirits gather in Qingfeng to cross the crowd." It is unparalleled to climb the sacred land of Rhodes, which is covered by clouds and trees, worship the five Manjusri Bodhisattvas and be blessed by them.
There are Bell Tower and Drum Tower on the left and right sides of Tianwang Temple, all of which are square pavilion buildings with upturned cornices and quaint atmosphere.
Behind the Temple of the King is the Hall of the Protector. There is a plaque on the door "Three continents induction", and there are couplets on both sides of the doorpost "Zheng Rulai put his hands together in Mahayana, and today the general holds a pestle to eliminate evil and protect righteousness". Wei Tuo Buddha Mahasa, the protector of Nanwu!
Maitreya, a Buddha with a long smile, is enshrined in the center of Tianwang Temple. He is kind-hearted, with a big earlobe and a golden figure, sitting on Sumeru.
There are four heavenly kings on the left and right of Maitreya (the king in the east, the king in the south, the king in the west and the king in the north), each holding a utensil and glaring, powerful and powerful, guarding the peace of the temple.
Behind Maitreya is the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, opposite which is the eternal Tan Hall. The temple is a building with unique design: on a hexagonal stone platform, there is a Buddhist temple with a pyramid roof with hexagonal double eaves, surrounded by cloisters, and there is a room with auspicious animals carved at each ridge end.
There are two plaques hanging under the eaves. The plaque under the second double eaves reads "the Hall of Sandalwood through the ages". The plaque under the first double eaves has four gold words "Dr. Diaoyu". There is a couplet on the doorpost, "The wind blows the trees like thunder, which is really cool, and the birds are beautiful in all seasons, which is really like a paradise". Such beautiful scenery deserves to be called Buddha.
The Buddha statue enshrined in the temple is called Sandalwood Buddha, which is not the style of sitting on the lotus throne in the temple, but a standing golden statue. Hand knot Fo Yin, kind eyes, solemn method. The whole temple seems to have thousands of Buddha lights shining.
Why is it called sandalwood Buddha? This is related to the appearance of Buddha statues. At the beginning, because of people's admiration for the Buddha, there was a taboo of "the Buddha's body cannot be measured". The portrait painter can't look directly at the Buddha's portrait, so he has to ask the Buddha to stand by and draw it with the reflection in the water, so of course even the water ripples are drawn. The first statue of Sakyamuni carved in sandalwood in Udayana was carved according to the image in the water, so it was called "Shining Buddha" and "Sandalwood Buddha". From then on, all such Buddha statues, no matter what material they are made of, are called sandalwood Buddha.
The three-dimensional paintings on the periphery of the Eternal Sandalwood Temple and the tapestry of Shangdang in the temple tell the story of the Buddha's adaptation to fate and Buddhist scriptures. The characters are lifelike, very vivid. In 2004, Master Chang Shan, the abbot, and his disciples added new contents.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined on the back of Sandalwood Buddha, sitting on the lotus throne, holding a pure bottle in her left hand and Fo Yin in her right hand, which is gorgeous and solemn. On the left and right stood a teenager and a dragon girl who were good at managing money.
The temple opposite Guanyin Bodhisattva is the Five Manjusri Hall: five rooms wide, resting on the top of the mountain, with a single eaves and cloisters around it. There are three gold plaques hanging under the eaves, in the middle of which are written the words "Five Manjusri Hall", and on the left and right sides are "Yunlv Snails" and "Cool Dharma Boundaries" respectively. The pillars are also covered with golden couplets, among which the main pillar reads "The Ganges River flows freely in the Champs Elysé es, and the lamp of the benevolent hangs on the other side for thousands of years".
There are five Manjusri Bodhisattvas enshrined in the temple, which are the five Manjusri methods at the top of the platform. From south to north, they are: Dongtai Manjusri, Beitai Manjusri, Zhongtai Children Manjusri, Nantai Manjusri and Xitai Manjusri. Buddha statues are all made of copper and plated with gold, wearing crowns and sitting on the lotus throne. The whole hall is filled with the blessing of Bodhisattva and the light of Buddha rhyme.
On the left side of Manjusri Hall in Wu Fang is Garan Hall, and couplets are hung on the front colonnade. Galand Bodhisattva is enshrined in the center of the temple, with Zhou Cang and Guan Ping around.
There is a gold plaque hanging on the lintel on the right side of the ancestral hall, which reads "Ancestors hold high". In the temple, there are offerings to the Buddhist masters of Liang Qing, the founder of Miao Feng and the monk of Li Chan.
The last hall on the central axis is the Hall of Ursa Major. There are two tall and straight pines and cypresses in front of the temple. After vicissitudes of life, they witnessed the ups and downs of Dai Luoding, full of aura. There is a couplet on the doorpost of the temple: mountains, clouds and white places can be accessed, and the wind and flowers are full of Zen machines. Looks like you're in the right place. This is a treasure house of Zen and enlightenment.
There are three buddhas enshrined in the temple (Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha and Oriental Glass World Pharmacist Buddha), all of whom are golden statues, sitting on the lotus throne, with a calm expression and kind eyes overlooking all beings. There are eighteen golden statues of arhats on both sides. The whole temple is full of Buddha's light and aura.
On the left side of Ursa Major is Guanyin Hall. Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in the temple, sitting on the throne, holding willow branches in his left hand and sprinkling nectar and meditation in his right hand. This is a rare male Guanyin statue.
On the right side of the hall of great heroes is the hall of hidden treasures. In the temple, the Buddha statue of the Tibetan king, who worships the male body, sits on the throne half crouching, holding the instrument in his left hand and tying Fo Yin in his right hand, which is solemn and solemn. Statues of Gong Min and Ming Dow are erected on the left and right respectively.
If you don't have the opportunity and time to worship at Wutai Mountain (to worship Manjusri Bodhisattva at the top of Wutai Mountain), it is also a good choice to come to Dailuoding Xiaochaotai.
