This is the tenth time I have come to Putuo Mountain. I am very lucky this time. The sea and sky are in the same color and the sun is shining brightly.

I feel refreshed as soon as I step into Putuo Mountain.

The first stop is to go to Nantianmen Gate "Daguan Peng"

This is the best place to view Mount Loga from afar

Every time I come to Putuo Mountain, I will take a group photo at the coastal archway

"Putuo Holy Land" under the sunset

The next day, I went to the trestle bridge on Mount Loga and took a photo of the "Coastal Archway". This angle is particularly beautiful.

Taken on the road

The next morning, I took a boat across the Lotus Ocean to Mount Lojia. Nowadays, you can buy tickets under real names and require an ID card. You can also buy tickets through your mobile phone and directly swipe your ID card to take a boat.

Everyone wears masks consciously.

Luojia Mountain is 5.3 kilometers away from Putuo Mountain. It takes about 20 minutes by boat and the round-trip fare is 70 yuan.

The distant island is Zhoushan

There are 700 steps on Mount Loga, which is not long and is not worth mentioning to runners.

Overlooking Zhoushan from Luojia Mountain

Luojia Mountain is a "earth temple". The earth god is Taoist, and he is a Buddhist and Taoist family!

Many people like to take photos here

There is a scenery at every turn, but I'm afraid you won't find it.

The "Entering Jiefang Gate" on the east side of Dajue Zen Temple

Wang Anshi's "Poetry on Huifeng Temple" in the Song Dynasty:

The mountain is about to press down on the sea, and the Zen gate opens here.
The fish and dragons don't smell before, but the sun and the moon come first.
The color of the trees rises in autumn, and the waves of bells return.
Why do you want to ride the official service and brush off the dust for a while?

However, Mr. Ni Zhuqing wrote a wrong word, and "Zen Palace" was written as "Zen Palace", so the meaning changed,"Jing"

(jing) means to close the door from the outside.

The mottled walls are very interesting

The renovated and upgraded Lojia Mountain Pier is more practical

Return to Putuo Mountain and continue hiking.

Go to Zizhu Forest first

Teacher Hu Tiesheng wrote "Purple Bamboo Forest". Mr. Hu is an old man who worked as an investigator. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as director of the Shanghai City Commercial Bureau. He is a famous calligrapher and seal carver.

Dantan Pavilion

"Dandan" means rippling water waves.

While taking pictures, I heard a girl asking a handsome man: "What is this booth called?"

The boy said disdainfully: "Sea Pavilion. It's a pavilion by the sea! You don't even understand this!"

Okay!

Mr. Zhao Puchu wrote "refused to go to Guanyin Yuan"

Appearing place

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Indian monks once wrapped themselves in gauze and lit their fingers in Chaoyin Cave. The Bodhisattva appeared, gave the Buddhist monk an explanation, and also awarded him seven-colored gems.

Nanhai Guanyin

The clear skies are shining brightly.

Western Jingyuan, which leads to the "Guanyin Jump", has been closed for several years for some unknown reason.

In terms of Buddhism's geography, there are four major continents around Mount Meru: East-Shengshenzhou, West-Niuhezhou, South-Shanbu Chau, and North-Kulu Chau.

"Three continents induction" means that Weituo Bodhisattva protects the three continents of the east, west and south, but there is no north. Why?

"Nanhai Guanyin" looks very good from this angle.

On the road from Xianren Jing to Chaoyang Cave

Guanrige

Tourists with groups rarely come here.

Chaoyang Cave, the best place to see the sunrise. One of the twelve scenic spots in Putuo "Rising Sun"

Behind the Sunviewing Pavilion, few people come here.

"Wugang" comes from "The Book of Songs·Da Ya"

The phoenix is singing,

On the high hill;

Chinese parasol trees were born,

In the rising sun.

It means: There is an auspicious phoenix standing on the sycamore tree on the high hill over there, chirping melodiously towards the rising sun. Isn't it very graphic? "Wugang" is very suitable for Chaoyang Cave.

Dacheng Zen Temple Parking Lot

Dacheng Temple, also known as "Dacheng Temple", Fujian people like to donate money to this temple. There is a saying "Fujian Temple".

Lunch at the vegetarian restaurant next to Dacheng Nunnery

After lunch, go to Dacheng Nunnery.

Dacheng 'an

Yueling Zen Temple on the east side of Jibaoling

It is said that the young monk of Yueling Nunnery once dug out the night pearl while plowing the land. The Yueyin Pool in front of the temple is the place where the night pearl was dug.

Puji Temple is also called the "Front Temple", and Fayu Temple is called the "Back Temple"

It is said that the Yuantong Hall of Puji Temple is a "living hall" that can be large and small. Normally, 500 people will feel crowded around the Buddha, but it can still be accommodated during the "Thousand People's Zhai".

Guanyin Ancient Cave

Poetry seen on the stone wall at the entrance of Guanyin Cave

The poem was written by Wu Mai, a Shanghai barrister during the Republic of China. He was from Yujiang County, Jiangxi Province. He once angrily ruled the judge in court, contradicted Chiang Kai-shek at the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and angrily attacked Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng. He was a famous figure at that time.

I think I have only been in Jiaping Nun once. Why is it named "Mustard Bottle"? What is the story? I didn't understand.

As it was still early, we went to Fayu Temple again, so that tomorrow's trip would be much easier.

The Buddhist Building of Fayu Temple

Fayu Temple was originally called "Haichao Nun". It is the ancestral courtyard of Haichao Nun at the head of Wuli Bridge, Shuitou Town, Nan 'an City.

There are 120,000 of these yellow tiles in Fayu Temple, which are very famous. Because I have said it before, I won't repeat it here. If you are interested, please refer to my previous articles.

The "Jiulong Caisson" in the Jiulong Hall of Fayu Temple.

These Jiulong were approved by Emperor Kangxi and were demolished from the original Ming Dynasty imperial palace in Nanjing. The story of the Jiulong's appearance is still circulated in Putuo Mountain.

That incident happened in the 1960s. A group of Hong guards used practice shells of hand grenades to blow up the Jiulong caisson. When the practice shells exploded, a white light shone brightly on the Kowloon. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder, and it rained heavily, scaring these young players into flight.

Qianbusa

It starts from the north of Jibaoling in the south and ends at Wanghaiting in the northeast. It is named because it is about a thousand steps long.

On the morning of the third day, we went up Foding Mountain from the side of Fayu Temple.

Fodingshan Huiji Temple is also called "Fodingshan Temple".

The national second-class protected plant "Putuo Carpinus"

After taking the cable car down the mountain from Foding Mountain, you will reach the Wanfo Pagoda.

From the cableway station to go south along Haitian Road (towards Shancai Cave), you have to pass by the "Gufo Cave" next to Feisha 'ao. Because there is no bus stop here, most tourists who take buses or travel with groups will not come here.

Gufo Cave faces the "Flying Sand Ao" in the south and the East China Sea in front. The environment is quiet, with the sound of waves and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The ancient Buddha Cave originally also contained a flesh-body Buddha of a "stuffy vat master" and the legendary story of a gourd bottle and three-colored rice.

Because there are few pilgrims here, the monks in the temple are extremely kind and friendly. We walk here every year. The master in the temple will even boil water for you, which is very heart-warming.

There is a huge stone in the Gufo Cave Temple. Every time I come here, I will lie flat on the huge stone and rest for a while. We call this huge stone a "charging treasure".

"One minute of charging can last a whole year."

Lying flat on this huge rock for a while is really comfortable!

I personally like the Ancient Buddha Cave best. I think it is the most beautiful, comfortable, quietest and most Buddhist realm place in the entire Putuo Mountain. Other famous temples are crowded with people, bustling with cigarettes.

On the way from Gufo Cave to Shancai Cave, you have to pass through this "Xianghui Jingyuan". I believe many people have never entered it.

Shancai Cave has been renovated, and even the gate has been changed.

We have arrived at Fanyin Cave

Here is a passing answer to a friend's question: What is a grosvenori bit?

Answer:

The Luo Guo position is a level of Buddhist practice. The meaning of Luohan means "enlightenment", which means that he knows right and wrong and knows the direction he is going forward. Although Arhats have broken through to "heaven and man, man, beast, devil (Asura), hungry ghost, and hell", if we don't grasp it well, they will still retreat, so the differences between each of the eighteen Arhats we see are big.

This is my understanding of "Lohan". I wonder if it is correct?
