Anyue Stone Carvings｜You'll Cry If You Miss It! These Lesser-Known Stone Carvings Are Even More Stunning Than the Four Great Caves!

Law is originally formless, Buddha originally has no shape.
From formless to form, perhaps it means not clinging to form.

🌟Anyue Stone Carvings are truly amazing! On par with the Four Great Caves yet so low-key! Personally experienced the shock that kept me awake, and thinking about it now still makes my heart race💓
