Zunhua Wanfo Garden
Wanfo garden is located in the East Tomb of Qing Dynasty, a world cultural heritage site, covering an area of 448 mu. It was jointly built by Xuanwei group and Zunhua Civil Affairs Bureau in 1993.
Introduction to scenic spots
After more than 10 years of continuous construction, we have built splendid temples, solemn Buddhist halls and beautiful gardens. In 2004, Zunhua Wanfo garden was listed as national AAAA scenic spot.
The Gongquan Mountain Gate of Wanfo garden is modeled on the palace architecture of Qing Dynasty. On both sides of the three red gates, there is a pair of bronze lions in front of the Taihe gate of the Forbidden City. In the middle of the gate, there are two huge plaques. "Yanshan pagoda mausoleum" is written by Zhao Puchu, the former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and "Wanfo garden" is inscribed by Mr. Qigong, a master of Chinese culture. The two gentlemen have gone to the west by crane, but their ink has left people with eternal auspiciousness.
Entering the mountain gate, you can see a 16 meter long and 4.5-meter-high white jade screen wall of filial piety, on which is engraved the Confucian thirteen classics of filial piety. The main idea is that kings, ministers, officials and common people should follow the idea of "filial piety first", which is the treasure of the five thousand year filial piety civilization of the Chinese nation. Loyalty to our country and filial piety to our parents are the basis of life, and its spirit should be inherited and magnified by the Chinese descendants. The shadow wall is called the "porch" in geomantic omen, which avoids the "drawbacks" of "one arrow through the heart", and leads people into a realm of unique insight through the curved road.
Building details
Ten Thousand Buddhas garden integrates the gardening art of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and combines the traditional and modern architecture. The Fengshui ball in Fengshui pool is an example. This Fengshui ball made of Italian "magic color red" weighs 6 tons. With the help of the impulse of water, the Fengshui ball keeps turning in the spray. It has two meanings: first, it means that filial piety culture has a long history; second, according to Feng Shui, it means that financial resources are rolling in.
Changsheng hall imitates the palace style architecture of Qing Dynasty. On the beam Fang and Dou Gong, it is full of gorgeous spiral color paintings. Because there is a jade Buddha in the hall, it is also called "Jade Buddha Hall". On the plaque, the name of the hall is engraved in Manchu and Chinese characters. The roofs of Changsheng hall and the front gate are covered with blue glazed tiles. The color of the roof of the Royal Palace is strictly regulated. The mausoleum of the emperor and Empress is covered with yellow glazed tiles; the bedrooms of concubines, princes, princesses are covered with green glazed tiles; only the hall of praying for new year in the temple of heaven is covered with blue glazed tiles. We use blue tiles to cover the roof, not only enjoying the respect of the emperor, but also showing the solemn and sacred of "harmony between man and nature!" "Changsheng hall" was originally a place for worshiping gods of the Tang Dynasty, which quoted the desire and wish of "heaven and earth" to pursue immortality. In front of the Jade Buddha Hall, a pair of gilded fire Unicorn beasts are mascots representing benevolence. Entering the Jade Buddha Hall, the front door is a screen carved with red sandalwood. Around the word "Buddha", there are cloud patterns, vines, lotus flowers and eight treasures carved all over the body. It is a rare art treasure.
In the Jade Buddha Hall, there is a statue of Guanyin. This jade Avalokitesvara is carved by a skillful craftsman with the best jadeite from Myanmar. Weighing 1.6 tons, 1.4 meters high, 0.6 meters thick and 0.9 meters wide, it is the largest jadeite Guanyin in China. Guanyin's right hand is used as saying seal, and his left hand is used to hold the belt. The Bodhisattva has a kind face and a wonderful aura. On both sides of the jade Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, there are statues of the jade good fortune boy and the Dragon Girl. Good money boy on the left, Dragon Girl on the right. Shancai boy is 88 cm tall. He has a happy face, three peach hairs on his head, a tummy on his upper body, a flying ribbon on his red arm, and a pair of hands. He worships Guanyin devoutly. The Dragon girl is 88 cm tall, with a bun on her head. She holds the net bottle in front of her chest with her hands. The willows in the bottle are green.
In front of the statue of Avalokitesvara, there is an emerald Jiulong jade wash. Yuxi is oval, 37 cm high, 88 cm long and 54 cm wide. The mouth is 64 cm long and 34 cm wide. In the process of water control, the eight dragons are vividly depicted with high relief and openwork on the outer wall. Among the rolling waves, the dragon of spitting water, the dragon of playing pearl, the dragon of qingbaolong are vivid and full of verve, which is a rare art treasure.
Around the jade Avalokitesvara, there are wood murals inlaid with colored lacquer. On both sides are "sutras from the west"; on the back are Manjusri, Puxian Bodhisattva and tiannv Sanskrit. Manjusri is the master of "wisdom gate"; sages are the master of "reason gate". The woodcarving trees, Bodhisattvas, and Tang monks and disciples are lifelike and lifelike.
In the Jade Buddha Hall, in the red sandalwood pagoda, there is a Buddha bone relic dedicated to the venerable Ananda. Ananda is one of the top ten disciples of the Buddha. He has been following the Buddha for 20 years. He has great wisdom, never forgets what he hears, and knows everything backwards. He is called "the most knowledgeable" by later generations. After Sakyamuni's nirvana, JIAYE was the "first ancestor" and Ananda was the "second ancestor". They promoted Buddhism on behalf of the Buddha and made the Buddhism immortal. In his later years, Ananda, in order to quell the war in the "mojietuo kingdom" (today's Nepal), gave up his life and set himself on fire. His relic was divided into two parts, one on the south bank and one on the north bank. He built a pagoda for sacrifice. This relic originated from the famous Chinese American master of Canyu, Mr. Xia Jingshan. He studied in Nepal in his early years and was respected by the Nepalese monk king. He presented a relic to Ananda. Mr. Xia, who was old, presented it to the chairman of the board, Mr. Pujiang. In order to add "the rain of Ciyun Dharma" to the ten thousand Buddha garden and let the believers "bathe in the light of Buddha and share the grace of Buddha", Ananda relic was consecrated in the Jade Buddha Hall. Relic is the treasure of the universe, and it also reflects the true meaning of Buddha's immortality. If you don't go to a place where there is no chance, a place where there is no purity, a place where there is no happiness, or a place where there is no chance, there will be a person who has great fortune.
Shenlu and the zodiac: most of the Royal shenlu in the past dynasties were literati, generals and auspicious animals. On the shenlu of ten thousand Buddha garden, the most appropriate Zodiac statues were installed. This is the masterpiece of Zheng Yuhe, a famous sculptor in China. The twelve zodiac animals originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, there were anthropomorphic pottery figurines in tombs as burial objects. Sculptor Zheng Yuhe innovates on the traditional tone of sculpture. His anthropomorphic stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals of men and women are deliberately refined in body shape and clothing. Each statue is 2.7 meters high. It is the largest stone statue group of Chinese zodiac in China. According to the theory of Zhouyi, they are arranged according to the hexagram of the best mate of men and women.
Shanshi eight pagodas: the "Shanshi eight pagodas" commemorating the merits of Sakyamuni's life are built according to the size of the "Shanshi eight pagodas" in Qinghai Ta'er temple, with the height of each pagoda of 6.4 meters. The eight pagodas of good death are also called Ruyi pagoda and Tathagata pagoda. It is arranged in the following order: Lianju tower, Bodhi tower, Shentong tower, Jiangfan tower, Sidi tower, Xizheng tower, birthday tower and nirvana tower. Lotus pagoda is a story commemorating the birth of Buddha Sakyamuni. When Buddha was born, he looked around, walked seven steps to the East, West, North and south, and gave birth to Lotus step by step. Then he stood in the middle, pointing to the sky with his left hand and the earth with his right hand, and said: "I am the only one in heaven and the world.", Therefore, the base of the pagoda is full of colorful lotus petals; the Bodhi pagoda is a story to commemorate Sakyamuni's cultivation of Zhengjue under the bodhi tree; the Shentong pagoda is a story to commemorate Sakyamuni's various miracles of surrendering demons and monsters; the 108 Buddhas on the pagoda are the incarnation of Sakyamuni; the vassal pagoda is a story to commemorate Sakyamuni's return from heaven and incarnation of all living beings In front of the pagoda, there are gold, silver and glass terraces in the time of coming down to the world; Sidi pagoda commemorates Sakyamuni's turning the Falun to preach the essence of Sidi; Xizheng pagoda commemorates Sakyamuni's calming down the internal disputes among Buddhist monks; birthday pagoda commemorates Sakyamuni's victory over all demons; Nirvana pagoda commemorates Sakyamuni's nirvana to show the impermanence of all things to all living beings.
Free life pool: it is a place where Buddhism advocates compassion, equality and free life without killing. Zhao Songxue, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a poem: "living together in this world is also the leading edge, living together in the vicissitudes of life. In a dream, the past can't be recalled, and releasing the pool side is also the former fault." This poem incisively and vividly breaks through the truth of the six samsara of Buddhism. On the Bank of the free life pool, every lunar March Qingming Festival, April Buddha Bathing Festival and July Zhongyuan Festival, there are grand Buddhist activities. Many faithful men and women worship the Buddha and worship their ancestors, and release themselves to do good deeds to express their compassion and remember their ancestors. On the white jade lotus in the center of the release pool stands a gold-plated statue of Avalokitesvara dripping water. Avalokitesvara sends the dew from the pure bottle to the world and shows great mercy to all living beings.
Golden Pagoda: it is a classic work in ten thousand Buddha garden. The pagoda originated from the Buddhist Ashoka. In order to worship the 84000 relics of Sakyamuni Buddha, 84000 pagodas were built. Tower is also known as "floating chart", so it is said that "saving a life is better than building a seven level floating chart". This golden pagoda is a combination of Han and Tibetan, and a combination of pagodas and temples. The pagoda is divided into four parts: underground palace, tower base, tower body and Tasha
