Buddism godness Guanyin Temple

Guanyin hall was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is a hard mountain building with three wide faces. It is also called Chuipu hall. In the hall of Guanyin, there is a bronze statue of the great man in white, sitting cross legged, eyes slightly closed, hands together, dignified and kind, with the God of wealth and the Dragon girl standing on both sides. The bronze statue of the great master in white is only owned by Shaolin Temple. It was originally in the hall of white in the South Garden outside the temple. It was wrapped in mud and moved back here. Guanyin hall is also called hammer spectrum hall.

guanyin bodhisattva

Bodhisattva means "sentient beings", "Tao beings" and "Tao mind beings". It is also translated as "Saint", "great saint" and "great scholar". Most people often call Bodhisattva "great scholar". Bodhisattva is second only to Buddha in Buddhism. It is said that Sakyamuni used to take the title of Bodhisattva before he became a Buddha. According to the Buddhist Scripture, Bodhisattvas can wear monk's clothes or make clothes at home. After Buddhism was introduced into China, there were few Bodhisattvas in monk's clothes. The image and costume of Bodhisattvas began to take shape in the Tang Dynasty. It's about face to face.

However, according to the Buddhist scriptures, most Bodhisattvas are male, and they can be disguised as female according to the needs of all living beings. The image of Bodhisattva is long round face, long and curved green eyebrows, slightly open Phoenix eyes, cherry mouth, high bun or hanging maid bun, more long hair hanging over the shoulder, wearing a sleeved tunic, often bare chest, with scarf, skin moist, clean and white. In a word, the colorful clothing is the ancient South Asian subcontinent aristocratic decoration imagined by Chinese people, and mixed with the Tang Dynasty aristocratic women's fashion, which is a strange and harmonious mixture of the two. The body-building face and posture are purely modeled by noble women in Tang Dynasty, especially female artists such as Jiaji. Perhaps the female prime minister makes people feel friendly. In addition, the purpose of Bodhisattva is to help all living beings to reach the other side, which can lead to the lower boundary of the lotus calendar and make them more stubborn. They have more affinity than the abstract and lofty Buddha. Therefore, the female prime minister is often present in Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Maitreya, the famous six Bodhisattvas in the Chinese Buddhist scriptures, has been upgraded to Buddha. The Bodhisattvas have not been able to form an independent army, and there is no "sphere of influence" in China. The others stand on their own and become the "four Bodhisattvas" in China, and Guanyin has the greatest influence.

Murals of Guanyin Hall

The murals on the walls of Guanyin hall are all related to Shaolin boxing. The murals were all painted in the late Qing Dynasty by anonymous folk artists.

On the north wall of Guanyin hall, Lin Qing, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, watched the monks perform martial arts when he visited Shaolin Temple. When Lin Qing went back, he reported it to the imperial court, thus lifting the ban on folk martial arts practice in the temple and bringing Shaolin martial arts back to life.

The painting on the south wall shows the scene of Shaolin Temple monks' armed fighting under the guidance of Zhan Ju and Zhan Luo. They can be divided into 15 groups, with one move in each group. They can practice each other with fist to fist, or with weapons such as knife, gun, sword, halberd, stick, staff and whip.

There are two groups of paintings on the east wall, and the story of thirteen stick monks rescuing the king of Tang Dynasty on the north side. Shaolin Temple film is based on this group of murals. On the south side is the story of Shaolin monk Jin naluo fighting against the red scarf army in the late Yuan Dynasty.

The two sides of the shrine are painted with the pattern of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger. The southeast corner and northeast corner of the hall are respectively painted with images of "Manjusri riding a green lion" and "Puxian riding a white elephant". The contents of the frescoes in Baiyi hall have important reference value for the study of Shaolin boxing, the architectural layout of Shaolin Temple before "Er Ba Huo Er" and historical legends.
