Dear travelers and friends,

Hello! I am your tour guide this time. My name is xxx. I'm glad to show you the beautiful Dazu stone carvings today.

Dazu stone carving is the general name of cave temples and stone carvings in Dazu County. World cultural heritage, national 5A-level tourist attractions, and national key cultural relics protection units. Dazu Stone Carving was founded in 650 AD and flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty after five dynasties, reaching the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a representative work of the late grotto art in China. Dazu stone carving was first announced as a cultural relic protection unit, with 75 cliff statues and more than 50,000 bodies. Among them, the cliff statues of Baoding Mountain, Beishan Mountain, Nanshan Mountain, Shi Zhuan Mountain and Shimen Mountain are the most distinctive. ( m.taiks.com )

According to the itinerary, today we mainly visit the cliff statues of Baoding Mountain:

Baoding Mountain is located in the northeast of the inner city of Dazu County, 15km. It was excavated with the support of Zhao Zhifeng, a monk in the Song Dynasty, and lasted for more than 70 years. Among them, the statue of Giant Buddha Bay is the largest, with the highest artistic value and the best preservation. There are 19 groups of statues on the stone walls on the east, south and north sides of the Giant Buddha Bay, which systematically tell a number of Buddhist stories, accompanied by eulogies and scriptures, just like an ancient cartoon with pictures and texts. There are mainly: the statue of the protector, the six divisions in the wheel of karma, the vast pavilions, the three statues of Huayan, and the Guanyin with a thousand hands.

Here, I would like to introduce Avalokitesvara to you: In order for our descendants and later tourists to see it, I would like to remind you that in order to protect Avalokitesvara, photography is not allowed.

Generally speaking, as long as the Guanyin statue has 10 hands, it can be called "Guanyin with a thousand hands". The conventional avalokitesvara with a thousand hands is usually connected with thirty-two hands and forty-eight hands to show the thirty-two disguised forms and forty-eight wishes of avalokitesvara. The other hands are in the form of backlight, which means "thousand"

However, ancient Chinese artists built a veritable Guanyin on this 88-square-meter cliff with 1007 hands, which is known as "the wonder of the world". These hands are slender, varied and resplendent, forming a magnificent picture of elation, dazzling and dazzling, which makes you feel that Guanyin with a thousand hands has endless hands, thus believing that Guanyin with a thousand hands is omnipotent and has boundless magic. Avalokitesvara with a thousand hands, its full name is Avalokitesvara with a thousand hands and eyes. "Avalokitesvara" means: the world view of the voice of world salvation. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid this taboo, people often called it "teacher" in classic translation and daily address, and the abbreviation "Guanyin" has been used ever since. "Avalokitesvara with a thousand hands and eyes" means to protect all beings, and a thousand eyes means to observe time. ( m.taiks.com )

From the perspective of Buddhist culture, the belief in avalokitesvara is closely combined with the theory and practice of Buddhism, which subtly and harmoniously embodies many characteristics of Mahayana Buddhism, such as emphasizing piety, vows, compassion, meditation, longing for bliss and so on. At the same time, Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes has provided rich spiritual nourishment for Buddhist believers with its distinctive personality, especially the symbolic significance of thousands of hands and eyes and the comprehensive implementation of various handprints, truths and visions, which has brought infinite compassion, infinite wisdom and infinite magical power to devout believers, making them rely on, be comforted and full of confidence. Avalokitesvara's majesty and kindness are organically unified, wisdom and divine power are always in double luck, and the secret method and enlightenment are flexibly used, which provides powerful spiritual strength for ancient and modern human beings to overcome difficulties, and is of great value to tap human potential, stimulate the will of the weak, overcome many difficulties, soothe wounds, upgrade the realm and even eventually surpass it.

Well, today's visit is over. Thank you.
