stands for wisdom. Manjushri is also called Manjushri, Manjushri and Prince Fa. Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are both attendants of Sakyamuni Buddha, and they are called "Hua Yan San Sheng" in the world. Yinghua Dojo is Wutai Mountain in Shanxi.
According to the Manjusri Nirvana Sutra, Manjusri Bodhisattva is the son of Brahman Vander in the Duoluo settlement of sravasti. Later, I went to the immortal's place to find out the family law, but I didn't get the right reward. I converted to Buddhism, became a monk, lived in the first place, and did rare and difficult things. After the Buddha's nirvana, I went to the snow-capped mountain at the age of 45 thousand, and gave a speech on the twelve classics for the 5 immortals. Later, I returned to my hometown and entered nirvana under the Tuo tree in Nijilou. According to Buddhist classics, Manjusri Bodhisattva is the teacher of countless Buddhas in the past, and has guided countless practitioners to obtain Buddhist fruits. In the sutra of releasing bowls, the Buddha also said: I am able to become a Buddha today because of the kindness of Manjusri Bodhisattva! Numerous buddhas in the past were also disciples of Manjusri, and those who will become buddhas in the future are also caused by the great power of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Just like children in the world have parents, Manjusri Bodhisattva is the parent of all sentient beings in Buddhism and Taoism.
Manjusri Bodhisattva often serves Sakyamuni Buddha with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and is the first disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha, so it is also called Manjusri Shifa Prince. The image of Manjusri Bodhisattva is the image of riding a lion with a sword, which represents the sharpness of its practice. Holding the King Kong sword with the right hand, it breaks all the troubles of all sentient beings and wakes up the addicted sentient beings with a fearless lion roar. This is the basic image of Manjusri Bodhisattva.
In addition, Manjusri Bodhisattva has different images corresponding to the karma of sentient beings in the world of Nuwa. In general, manjusri bodhisattva's statue forms include Monk Manjusri, Manjusri in one bun, Manjusri in five bun, Manjusri in eight bun and Manjusri in six characters.
The image of Manjusri Bodhisattva is usually holding a sword of wisdom, and riding a lion is a metaphor for cutting off troubles with a sword of wisdom, and intimidating demons with a lion's roar.
The image of Manjusri Bodhisattva is changeable. According to its image, Manjusri can be divided into one character, five characters, six characters and eight characters, among which Manjusri with five knots is the most common. Five bun Manjusri is named after five bun tied to the top of the head, which represents five kinds of wisdom. Generally, the right hand holds the "wisdom sword", which symbolizes cutting the knot with wisdom sword. (or holding wishful thinking, symbolizing intellectual achievement). On the lotus held in the left hand, the Prajna Sutra is placed, which represents intelligent thinking. The sword of wisdom means that it can cut off all kinds of stupidity, and wisdom is as sharp as a sword; Utpala, on the other hand, stands for purity, with Prajna Sutra on the flowers as a symbol of wisdom and compassion. Bodhisattva also often rides in Leo, indicating that wisdom is incomparable, invincible, invincible and invincible; Or take lotus as a pedestal, which means clean and dye-free; Or driving a golden peacock, which means flying freely.

Wutai Mountain, known as the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, is one of the four Buddhist holy places in China, and is called "Golden Wutai, Silver Putuo, Copper Emei and Tiejiuhua". It can be seen that its position in the eyes of Buddhists is extraordinary.
It is said that Wutai Mountain was originally the site of Taoism. In Tao Jing, Wutai Mountain was called Zifu Mountain, and there was a Zifu Temple. The Records of Liangshan in Qingliang claimed that Manjusri Bodhisattva lived in Shipan Cave when she first came to Sinian (China was called Sinian by ancient Indians). Shipandong is in the metaphysical view of Taoism, which shows that Wutai Mountain is occupied by Taoism.
Wutai Mountain replaced Taoism with Buddhism, and eventually became a famous Buddhist mountain in China, which originated from the explicit expression of Buddha and the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism. According to the Darani Sutra of Manjusri's Lifa Treasure, Buddha Sakyamuni said to King Kong's secret master bodhisattva, "After my death, there is a country name' Da Zhen Na' in the northeast of Zhanbuzhou. There are mountains in the country, nicknamed' Five Tops'. Manjusri teacher Li Boy, marching here, for all sentient beings, said in China. " The "Five Top Mountains" mentioned here refers to Wutai Mountain today. Buddhism was introduced into Wutai Mountain, which began in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 68). Two Indian monks, Kaya Morten and Zhu Falan, who were invited by Emperor Han Ming, came to Wutai Mountain from Luoyang (then called Qingliang Mountain). Because the stupa of Ashoka has been in the mountains for a long time, and Wutai Mountain is also the legendary place where Manjusri Bodhisattva teaches and lives, they came up with the idea of building a temple here. However, because Wutai Mountain was the site of Taoism at that time, Taoism would not easily allow foreign sects to build temples here. One should be built and the other should not be built, which requires the help of a third party to decide. According to "Old News of National History", "On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Yongping, Ming Di gathered Taoist priests in Baima Temple, so that Morten and Zhu Falan could compete in the law." Under the auspices of Ming Di, the two sides reached a "competition law" agreement, that is, burning scriptures on an appointment date to distinguish authenticity (according to legend, the place of burning scriptures is in Luoyang today). As a result, all Taoist scriptures (except Tao Te Ching) were burned, but Buddhist scriptures were "not burned by fire". It can be seen that foreign monks can not only recite scriptures, but also their scriptures can stand up to "tempering." Therefore, the two eminent monks in India gained the right to build a temple in Wutai Mountain. The next step is to choose the location of the temple. According to the Records of Qingliang Mountain, "On the left side of the Great Pagoda, there are footprints left by Sakyamuni Buddha, which are one foot six inches long and six inches wide, with thousands of auxiliary wheels and ten fingers." According to legend, they not only found this footprint, but also found a "relic". In addition, the mountains here are magnificent and the weather is extraordinary, which is similar to the Lingjiu Mountain (Sakyamuni practice place) in India, so they decided to build a temple here and named it Lingjiu Temple. Ming Di, in order to express his belief in Buddhism, ordered the "Griffin Temple in Dafu". "Dafu" means Hongxin. "Dafu Lingjiu Temple" is the predecessor of Xiantong Temple. Since then, Buddhism has taken deep root in Wutai Mountain and started to become the center of Buddhism in China.
Five scenic spots
Wutai Mountain is composed of five peaks in the east, west, north and south, and it is said that it represents the five kinds of wisdom of Manjusri Bodhisattva: great round mirror wisdom, wonderful observation wisdom, equal wisdom, accomplished wisdom and dharma body wisdom; And Five Dhyani Buddhas: Oriental Acheng Buddha, Western Amitabha Buddha, Southern Baosheng Buddha, Northern Bukong Achievement Buddha, and Central Pilu Zena Buddha.
Dongtai is famous as Haifeng, with an altitude of 2,795 meters. On the top of Dongtai, it is named "steaming clouds and bathing day, refreshing and clear autumn, looking at the bright sky in the east, like a mirror, that is, the sea". Because of the high altitude and low temperature at the top of the platform, cotton-padded clothes are still needed in the midsummer season. Zhao Puchu, former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, wrote a poem praising: "Dongtai is the top, and fur is still worn in midsummer. In the sky, Xiayi welcomes the sunrise, and the peaks are floating in the clouds and the sea, full of vitality. "
the west station is called the moon peak, which is 2773 meters above sea level. It's "the top is wide and flat, and the moon falls on the peak, just like a mirror, so it's named." There is a poem that praises: "Xiling is towering and far away, and it is looking back at the white clouds in the hometown." Gufengling Cuilian Sanjin, and Bashui Shunliu Runfang. On a sunny day, wild flowers spread Shu brocade, and the autumn wind is fragrant and sweet. At that time, the lion was once a relic, and the rock valley often floated with five colors. "
the south platform is named Jinxiu Peak, which is 2485 meters above sea level. "If the top is covered with a bowl, the peak is steep and steep, the smoke is bright and green, the fine grass is mixed with flowers, and the mountains are densely covered, so it is famous." Yuan Haowen, a famous poet, wrote a poem in praise, saying, "There are clouds and smoke in Shen Shen Long Cave, and a hundred flowers and a thousand flowers are raining. The Buddha's land will not compare people with the environment, and who will get the golden lotus step by step? "
The northern platform is called Ye Doufeng, which is 358 meters above sea level. Five platforms are the highest, and it is called "the roof of North China". The platform is "flat and wide at the top, and it is surrounded by circles. Looking up from the bottom, the top struggles, so it is named." Emperor Kangxi wrote a poem praising: "It's absolutely steep and cold, forcing the palace to fight. The bells are ringing thousands of miles away, and people are talking in the clouds. The snow is still sunny, but the spring ice is warm and not melted. Seeing the land and sea by the virtual, this place is Fang Peng. "
The Cuiyan Peak in Zhongtai is 2894 meters above sea level, and the platform is "named for its broad and flat top, round Friday, majestic peaks and green mist floating in the air." There is a poem praising: "the peaks are surrounded by wonders, and the mountains are covered with rain and smoke." Qian Shan, the policy staff, is tireless, and it is still cold in June. The cliffs are surrounded by green hills, and the ancient trees and yellow sand are wide. The clouds are getting halfway up the mountain, but I suspect that I am already in the clouds.

Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province belongs to Manjushri. "Hua Yan Jing Bodhisattva Residence" said:' There is a place in the East called Qingliang Mountain. Since the past, all the Bodhisattvas have stopped in the middle. The existing Bodhisattva Manjushri, together with his family, all the Bodhisattvas, and 1, people, often live in it and make statements. " The Darani Sutra of Manjushri's Treasure also said:' When I was a Buddha, I told the Bodhisattva of King Kong that after my death, there was a country named Dazhenbang in the northeast of this Zhanbu Island, and its state-owned mountain was called Wuding, and Manjushri boy marched from the top, for all sentient beings, which was said in the middle.' The Qingliang Mountain and Wuding Mountain are now Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, China. This mountain is in the northeast of Wutai County, 12 miles away from the county seat, surrounded by five peaks, and there is no forest on the top, such as the combination of soil and soil, so it is named Wutai Mountain. Living in the border, it is unusually cold and has no heat in summer, also known as Qingliang Mountain. The ancient jungle and today's Buddhist temple are all under the central platform. Its southern platform is 8 miles away from Zhonghe and 3 miles high. On Tuesday, the golden lotus is famous for its chrysanthemum, which is also known as Jinxiu Peak.
