In Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, there is a saying "One Niushou Mountain, half of Nanjing's history", which describes the significance of Niushou Mountain to Nanjing City。Today's Niushou Mountain has become a Buddhist holy place that attracts worldwide attention because it contains the only Sakyamuni Buddha's crown bone relic in the world. Countless tourists come here every year.

Niushou Mountain is located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, about 30 minutes 'drive from the urban area. Niushou Mountain has been a beautiful place since ancient times, and many historical monuments are still preserved today. Niutou Zen originated here.Hongjue Temple was built as early as the Southern Dynasties, and Hongjue Temple Tower was built in the Tang Dynasty, so it has been a famous Buddhist mountain since ancient times.

In 2012, Nanjing spent a huge amount of 4 billion yuan to build an underground palace dedicated to the top bone relics of Shakyamuni on Niushou Mountain。It took four years to complete the project. Since then, the Buddha's roof bone relic has been enshrined in the resplendent Buddha Ding Palace on Niushou Mountain. The Buddha Ding Palace has attracted the attention of the world from the moment it was built.

Since the Fuding Palace was opened to tourists, the underground part of the relic Hall and relic collection palace have been the most popular places for tourists, and they have also become the most sacred place in the entire building complex.。Being in it is like walking into a Buddhist kingdom. Golden Buddha statues can be seen everywhere, setting off an unparalleled Buddhist atmosphere and sacred atmosphere.

It is not easy to witness the parietal bone relic of Shakyamuni Buddha with your own eyes, there are only 7 opportunities a year。On New Year's Day, Spring Festival, National Day, Sakyamuni's Birth Day, Nirvana Day, Buddha's Birthday Day and Enlightenment Day, the Buddha's Peak Bone Relic will be enshrined and displayed deep in the underground palace. Tourists can admire this Buddhist relic through binoculars, so the Buddha's Peak Relic belongs to a predestined person.

Foding Palace is built on an abandoned mine pit in Niushou Mountain. It consists of a three-story Zen temple above ground and an underground palace below ground.。The large and small domes in Foding Palace imply external support and internal support. The large dome is like a Buddha's cassock covering the small dome, symbolizing the Buddha's infinite blessing.

Nanjing has had the folk custom of "the head of the ox in spring and the sunset in autumn" since ancient times. This means that before the construction of the Foding Palace, it was a good place for people to go hiking.The completion of Foding Palace, located among the Twin Peaks of Niushou Mountain, adds to the beautiful scenery of Niushou Mountain and makes it a place that the world yearns for。

In Foding Palace, in addition to the Buddha Top relics, the architectural style containing a strong Buddhist atmosphere and classical charm is also a highlight. At the same time, the interior design full of technology makes the jewelry and display in the collection shine.For example, the statue of Sakyamuni lying in the Buddha Peak Palace is made more holy by the environment, and all the viewers are moved by it.

The 100,000-square-meter building area of Foding Palace is rare among Buddhist buildings in the world.。The reason why a huge amount of money was invested in building it is because the Sakyamuni Buddha's crown bone relic is the most precious among all relics in the world. It symbolizes the wisest mind in Buddhism, and it is also the only one in the world so far.

The Buddha's crown bone relic is a symbol of supreme wisdom. The "Da Ban Nirvana Sutra" says: "If you see the Buddha's relic, you will see the Buddha." It also says: "Providing the relic is a Buddha's treasure, and if you see the Buddha, you will see the Dharmakaya."One day, will you also come to Niushou Mountain Foding Palace for a pilgrimage?
