When I came to Leshan, the thick fireworks in the world made me unable to let go. But when I saw the big Buddha light show on the other side, I felt that I had to worship, which was the totem of our country's soul!

After crossing the bridge across the Minjiang River, there is a bus stop, waiting for the bus K1 that resembles the streetcar at the front gate of Beijing, and getting on this bus, the retro style interior, as if stepping into the door of Buddhism in an instant!

The red interior of the bus, the golden curtains, and the showcases made me feel indifferent and quiet! A transcendent emotion arises spontaneously~

The car drove for 10 minutes and passed through three tunnels, as if traveling to another time and space. Just now it was a bustling city, but now there are mountains covered with dense forests in front of you, the river is gurgling on the mountains, and the road on the other side is very quiet, except for the sound of gurgling water, there is only the chirping of birds!

Get off at the bus Mingyue stop, the air is so clear and sweet, you can't help but take a deep breath, it seems that you can spit out all the red dust! Walking in the direction of the road, the B&B hotels and restaurants on the side of the road do not disturb other scenic spots, just smile with simple eyes!

After walking for five minutes, turn right and enter the scenic trail Lingyun Road, with red sandstone as the background, green towering ancient trees as the content, dripping dewdrops shining with halos, a natural picture, comfortable and suitable!

Walk along Lingyun Road for 20 minutes, pass by the exit of the scenic spot, and come to the entrance of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area! The entrance seems to be a natural narrow mountain pass, and after entering, you can climb up the steps along the moss-paved trail hidden by bamboo forest. The trail is mountainous on one side and lush on the other side. The scenery is pleasant, the air is fresh, and the trail is not very steep, so it is not very strenuous.

Climbing up the steps, twisting and winding, the clouds and mist are ethereal. Among the pines and bamboos, sometimes there are many inscriptions, sometimes the inscriptions are beautiful, sometimes the sound of the spring is crisp, and sometimes the birds are like silk.

I don't know how many turns I made, but suddenly, the bun of the big Buddha came into view, although I had been mentally prepared to build the statue, but the huge Buddha head close at hand still made me in a trance, and then I couldn't help but be excited and amazed!

I ran to the platform next to the Buddha's head, leaned on the railing, observed the Buddha's head up close, and looked at the face of the Buddha who had been around for thousands of years, although it was slightly mottled, but the solemn and solemn Dharma appearance made me can't help but put my hands together and pray silently in my heart!

The big Buddha is beyond imagination, four or five people are tall with drooping shoulders and big ears, and three people are full and hanging noses! Thousands of spiral-like buns are said to be inlaid with Buddha's heads, and there is no mortar adhesion, only a thin layer of lime on the surface, so that the vision is integrated!

Leaning down and looking down, I couldn't see the whole picture of the Buddha, and I was impatient, so I prepared to go down the ancient plank road to the Buddha's foot platform to see the whole picture of the Buddha!

The plank road only allows two people to stand side by side, twisting and turning, and celebrity inscriptions and inscriptions are all over the place! Finally, drill out of a stone cave and come to the Buddha's foot platform.

Looking up at the Big Buddha, Lingyun Sky, I usually feel that the 15-story high-rise building at home is already very high, 71 meters high, equivalent to a 25-story Big Buddha statue, majestic and majestic! After official research, the full name of the Leshan Giant Buddha is the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Lingyun Temple in Jiazhou

The Big Buddha has deep eyes, looking at the Min River, Tsing Yi River, and Dadu River in the distance. It is said that because of the confluence of the three rivers, the hydrology here is complex, and the ferry often overturns. It is even rumored among the people that the green dragon and white tiger in the river are haunting, so there is no peace!

In the

early years of Tang King Li Shimin, Monk Haitong was sympathetic to the people's feelings and began to donate funds to build the Great Buddha, which took 90 years for three generations to complete!

When it was built, there were seven floors of pavilions, which is the purpose of the pile hole on the chest of the Big Buddha! Later, it was all destroyed! There is also a hidden stone cave on the chest of the Big Buddha, which is the [hidden dirt cave], and the seal is the remnants of the Song Dynasty Jiantining Pavilion.

Since the Great Buddha sits firmly at the mouth of the three rivers, protecting the people, the water flow is calm, and the flood is gone. Only then can there be a city of fireworks that shade the well-being!

After visiting the Great Buddha, we came to Wuyou Temple. The grandeur of the temple does not need to be detailed. Just in time for the morning class of the monks, the sound of chanting was like stirring up a side that had never been touched in the depths of the soul, and at this moment I suddenly felt a trace of enlightenment.

After that, I have been pondering the enlightenment of the talent in my heart, hoping to break through the gaps and gain enlightenment. Therefore, on the way to the exit, passing through the Forest of Steles and some elegant villas, there are some <

Now that I think about it, I have never been able to fully understand it, after all, there is a time limit. But this beautiful place does make people accessible. No wonder the people living here, although they are not rich, do not have high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and have been "comfortable" for generations. Life is like this, what more could a husband ask for?
