Buddhist Holy Land

   Solemn temple, old trees, stream of Buddhist and superb martial arts monks. I grew up with watching these elements in film and TV series. 















   Wutai Mountain is earlier temple architecture in China. It can be traced back to the Han Dynasty from AD 58 to 75 years. About Mountain, there is an interesting story. In fact, first appeared in Wutai Mountain was Taoism. Then, the two Indian monks came to they wanted to build temples, but because there was stronger base of Taoism. So it was not easy. The two Indian monks memorialized to Emperor Mingdi, the emperor allowed both of them to compete by preaching and sermons. Finally, they win. So they continue Buddhist in Wutai Mountain. 

   










Think back when I visited Wutai Mountain, I remember Buddha said gazing past lives 500 times, one for this life rub shoulder. It sounds worth pondering also very elegant. This is my experience of Wutai Mountain.
