Who brought the heavenly palace to the earth? Fantasy of Laojun Mountain

Laojun Mountain and Longmen Grottoes: A Dual Mystery of Thousand-Year Taoism and Buddha's Light

Seeking the Way in the Immortal Mountains and the Caves
✨ Laojun Mountain - the place where Laozi, the founder of Taoism, retired. The sea of ​​clouds rolls like a fairyland in the sky. The Golden Summit Taoist Temple hangs on the top of the mountain. Every brick and tile tells the mystery of the simplicity of the great way. [Like] Climbing here is like stepping into the state of inaction in the "Tao Te Ching". Watching the sunrise and the gilded mist around the peaks, you will realize the spiritual practice of heaven and earth. [Clap]

🪷 Longmen Grottoes - the pinnacle of Buddhist art from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. 100,000 Buddha statues are carved on the cliffs on both sides of the Yi River. The Vairocana Buddha lowers his eyebrows and smiles. Apsaras dance in the lotus cave. Every chisel mark is a thousand-year dialogue between faith and craftsmanship. Night tour of Longmen. The lights illuminate the stone niches and you can see the Buddha's light shining on all living beings. [TeaDrinker]

▫️ Taoism follows nature vs. Buddha saves all living beings - one mountain, one river, two civilizations intertwined here. The tranquility and inaction of Laojun Mountain and the compassion and solemnity of Longmen collide to create the spiritual totem of the Central Plains [Congratulate]
▫️ All seasons are holy places. In spring, you can enjoy the azaleas all over Laojun Mountain. In autumn, you can see the golden ginkgo trees in Longmen Grottoes. In winter, the snow covers the golden roof like a jade building. In summer, the Yi River reflects the Buddha's shadow in the starry river. [Awesome][Awesome]

📿 Recommended itinerary
In the morning, I greeted the first ray of purple air on the Golden Summit of Laojun Mountain and read the Tao Te Ching beside the sea of ​​clouds. [Chin]
Take a walk in the Longmen Xishan Grottoes at noon, and feel the roughness of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the harmony of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with your fingertips [Happy]
Sit quietly at Xiangshan Temple at dusk, listen to the bells ringing across the Yi River, watch the sunset, and put a cassock on the Vairocana Buddha [Awesome]


The clouds of Laojun Mountain [Grin] are the breath left by Laozi [StarEyes] The Buddha of Longmen is the Zen meaning frozen in time
Taoism is on the mountain top and Buddha is between the cliffs - a spiritual appointment that must be made in one's lifetime to visit the two unique places in the Central Plains
