The specifications of the two monuments are the same. The head of the monument is round, and the lines on both sides of the monument body are obviously divided, showing a trapezoidal shape with narrow upper part and wide lower part (this is a typical Tang monument shape). The stele seat is a square stele seat, engraved with connecting lines. The height of the two monuments is 337.5 cm, the width of the monument surface is 86 cm and the width of the lower part is 100 cm. The inscription highly praised Master Xuanzang for learning from the Western Heaven and carrying forward the historical achievements and extraordinary spirit of Buddhism, and was known as the "Wild Goose Pagoda Holy Religion".
These two stone tablets were erected here by Xuanzang in October, the 4th year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong (653), and they are still well preserved. It is an important cultural relic for studying calligraphy, painting and sculpture in the Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Yonghui in Tang Gaozong (652), Master Xuanzang built the Wild Goose Pagoda to collect cultural relics from the western regions. How many cultural relics did Master Xuanzang bring back from the Western Regions? According to the master, it's just 150 meat relic and a bone relic. The exact number of bones is not specified. When describing the tower repair section in the same book, it is stated that "there are relics in the center of each floor, or 10000,2000, with more than10000." Later, when Wu Zetian rebuilt in Chang 'an, there was no detailed historical record on how to dispose of the relics in the tower. Master Xuanzang went through all kinds of hardships to get back the relics of the Central Plains, which became an eternal mystery.
At present, the relics placed on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are presented by the Indian overseas Chinese monk Master Shi. 1June, 998 10, Great Jionji received Master Shi, the abbot of the Indian Xuanzang Temple. Master's ancestral home is Xianyang, Shaanxi, and he became a monk in his early years. In his early forties, taking Xuanzang as a model, he went to India to seek dharma and became the abbot of Xuanzang Temple in India. On the day of the visit, he took out a red paper bag with the gold characters of "One Buddha and One Treasure" and the lotus pattern printed on it, which contained two precious relics (one with a diameter of 3.5 mm and the other with a diameter of 1.5 mm) and presented them to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. And repeatedly asked: "This Buddha treasure is very precious. If you cherish it, it will be an infinite blessing." In order to make up for the mystery of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and let more people pay tribute to the Buddha's treasure relics, they displayed the Buddha's treasure on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. In order to be prudent, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda wrote a letter to the master in India, explaining his wishes and asking for advice. Master Shi wrote back happily, saying, "The Buddhist relics will be cured after being warned, which is hard won and blessed by heaven." "Believers are blessed. I hope that Lu Jun can worship them devoutly and will be blessed. If it can be made public to the upper level of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it will be even more blessed, and my brother wishes it happiness. " Before the Tang Priest went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, the ancient Indians had not mastered papermaking, and they could only carve notes on specially processed Bedolo leaves. Buddhist classics were all carved on Bedolo leaves without exception, and they were preserved and passed down. The history is called Baylor Sutra.
Bayeux has a history of more than 2500 years. The 657 scriptures brought back by the Tang Priest are all Bayeux scriptures. According to literature research, there are less than 20 pieces of Bayeux leaves, each of which is priceless.
Jianfu Temple enshrines two Bayeux sutras about 40 cm long and 7 cm wide, which are engraved with dense Sanskrit. It is said that less than 10 scholars in the world know this kind of writing, which is very rare. The Ni Gu Mei Footprint Monument displayed on the fifth floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was copied from the statue of Buddha's foot carved by Master Xuanzang at Yuhua Temple in Tongchuan in his later years. There are many Buddhist patterns in the world with rich connotations. Known as "seeing your feet is like seeing Buddha, worshipping your feet is like worshipping Buddha".
According to Buddhist scriptures, there were no Buddha statues within 200 years after the Buddha's nirvana. At that time, the disciples of Buddha were all footprints left by worshipping Buddha, and worshipping Buddha's feet was worshipping Buddha. When the Tang Priest went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, he brought the footprints of Buddhism widely worshipped in ancient India back to the Tang Dynasty and dedicated them to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, and accepted the imperial edict of Emperor Taizong to engrave the footprints of Buddhism into stone for the worship of the majority of believers.
In the Footprint Monument, the lotus symbolizes purity, the word "渠" stands for flame and light, Pisces stands for liberation, Aquarius stands for wisdom, conch stands for preaching, cobalt stands for Buddhism, palm stands for the wheel king, and below the wheel king is the pattern of the Brahma King.
