Manjusri house

Located in the northwest corner of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, it is a famous Buddhist temple in Western Sichuan. Its predecessor was Miaoyuan pagoda courtyard in Tang Dynasty, which was renamed "Xinxiang Temple" in Song Dynasty. It was destroyed by the war. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, people saw the red light at night, and the government sent people to visit. There was a statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva in the red light, which was convenient for the reconstruction of the temple in 1697. Emperor Kangxi wrote the word "Konglin" and granted it the imperial seal. Emperor Kangxi's ink remains in the courtyard.

Manjusri courtyard faces south with a construction area of 11600 square meters. Tianwang hall, Sandashi hall, Daxiong hall, shuotang hall and Sutra collection hall are typical buildings of Qing Dynasty. On both sides of the courtyard, there are Zen, Guan, Ke, Zhai, Jie, nianfo hall and office room, forming a closed courtyard. There is a bell tower with three eaves, in which there is a large bronze bell of more than 4500 kg. The statue of Guanyin is made of bronze, which can be called a fine sculpture. The statue of Wei Tuo, the God of Dharma protection, was made of bronze by the seventh generation Abbot Ben yuan in 1829. It has fine craftsmanship and childlike appearance, reflecting the demeanor of "childlike appearance and general prestige". There is also a Burmese jade Buddha listed as "one of the Eight Temples in Konglin", which was collected by the temple monk Xinglin in 1922. In addition, there are more than 300 Buddhist statues in the courtyard. Whether they are stone carvings, copper and iron castings, or wood and clay carvings, they are of cultural and artistic value.

Manjusri also has many precious cultural relics and tens of thousands of Buddhist scriptures and documents, such as the "tongue blood scripture" written by three monks and ancestors in the Academy, the thousand Buddha cassock embroidered by Tian Fei of Ming Shenzong, and the shuiyueguanyin embroidered by Yang Yuchun's eldest daughter in Qing Dynasty. The parietal bones of Tang Monk Xuanzang collected in the courtyard are particularly precious. In 1942, three parietal bones of Tang Monk were found in Nanjing. Now one of them is kept in Nanjing, and the other is sent to Xi'an. Because Chengdu is the place where Tang monks receive precepts, one is sent to Chengdu.

The history of Manjusri Academy

Manjusri has a long history. It is said that in the Sui Dynasty, the favorite concubine of Shu King Yang Xiu, son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was built by the "Saint Ni" prime minister at that time, so it is called the prime minister temple. In the Five Dynasties, it was once renamed Miaoyuan pagoda courtyard. It is still called Xinxiang temple in Song Dynasty. According to Chengdu county annals, Xinxiang temple was destroyed in the end of Ming Dynasty. Only 10 iron statues and two thousand year old ancient Chinese fir trees survived. In 1681, in the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zen master CIDU came to the deserted ancient temple and became a bandit between the two fir trees. He practiced asceticism and became famous throughout the country for several years. It is said that when Zen master Tzu died and was cremated, the red light condensed into a statue of Manjusri in the air, which lasted for a long time. The public believed that Tzu TU was the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva, so they changed Xinxiang temple to Manjusri temple. From the 36th year of Kangxi to the 45th year of Kangxi (1697? / font1706), the officials, gentry, army and people donated money to rebuild the temple. In the years of Jiaqing and Daoguang, master Benyuan, the abbot of Manjusri, purchased 82 stone pillars, rebuilt and expanded the main hall, forming the current scale. These 82 stone pillars become a scene in the courtyard today. In modern times, Manjusri incense flourished. All previous abbots have set up an altar here to preach precepts, and run Buddhist schools and missionary schools to cultivate monks. During the Anti Japanese War, eminent monks such as Dade Foyuan, Taixu and Nenghai came here one after another to preach scriptures. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the people's government has repeatedly allocated funds to repair temples. In 1983, it was designated by the State Council as a national key Buddhist temple in the Han nationality area.
