Putuo Mountain, located in Putuo District, Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, is one of the Zhoushan Islands and is said to be the Dojo of Guanyin. In ancient times, when traveling to and from Japan, North Korea and other countries, they often stopped to wait for the wind, worship Guanyin and pray for the safety of Air France. The image of Guanyin Bodhisattva is generally holding a Yang Liuzhi and a water bottle, and spreading nectar all over the world with Yang Liuzhi to moisten the fiery hearts of all beings in the world.
The whole island area is only 12.5 square kilometers, showing a long and narrow shape. The highest point is Foding Mountain, about 300 meters above sea level. It is the only Buddhist resort located on the sea among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, and has the reputation of "Haitian Buddhist Country". According to legend, Putuo Mountain is the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There are more than 20 temples, the largest of which are Fusaiji, Fayu Temple and Huiji Temple.
Legend of Guanyin Bodhisattva
Guanyin Bodhisattva left many beautiful legends in Pingdingshan, the most famous of which is the story of san huang who gave his life to save his father and became a Guanyin Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a king named Chu Zhuangwang and a queen named Baode. They have three daughters, and the name of Sangong is Miaoshan. When Miaoshan was born, the earth shook, the fragrance inside and outside was wonderful, and the sound of nature sounded in the air. Clean body, strict appearance, five-color clouds cover the body. Everyone says: this is the birth of a saint!
Miao Shan loved Buddha in his childhood and didn't admire Rong Hua, so he respected the "Three Empresses". When he grew up, the king of Zhuang forced his marriage, and his third aunt swore to death. King Zhuang had to go with the flow and ordered Master Hui Zhen of Baique Temple to take her away. He wants her to suffer in the temple and then stop her from becoming a monk.
However, since Miaoshan arrived at Baique Temple, his belief in practice has become more firm. King Zhuang sent someone to force her to return to the palace, but she refused. King Zhuang was so angry that he ordered the Baique Temple to be burned and destroyed. The queen cried her eyes out when she heard this. Actually, Sanhuanggu was not killed by fire. It turned out that she was saved by the mountain god and hid in Xiangshan.
