Emeishan Temple of the seven halls of the seven statues of Buddha's origin and role of know speak down Thank you!

The temple enshrines seven Buddhas, the center one for Shakyamuni Buddha, the other six for the past Buddha, from right to left: South Detained Sun Buddha, South Detained Muni Buddha, South Gautama Buddha, South Vishnu Buddha, South Corpse Abandonment Buddha, South Vibhavatnagarbhavatnagarbhavatnagarbhavatnagarbha. The process of molding these seven Buddhas is called "desheer molding". This is the first good mold, and then in the mold on top of the lacquer, and then linen, silk material layer by layer, to dry after removing the mold, and finally painted. Has a light body, moisture, moth, no cracks, preserved for a long time and so on. This reflects the ancient art of molding exquisite. Seven Buddhas are sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, well-proportioned, solemn, at first glance seems to be the same form, scrutinize, the expression of each change, Vimy. Buddhist statues, but also pay close attention to the hand carved and molded. Hand has a variety of postures, Buddhism is called "seal phase". You see Shakyamuni Buddha, right hand raised to the chest, thumb and middle finger twist, the remaining three fingers natural stretch. This handprint symbolizes that the Buddha is saying something, known as the "Saying Seal". The hands of the other six Buddhas are lowered in front of the abdomen, with the right hand placed on the left hand and the ends of the two thumbs connected. This kind of handprint indicates "meditation" to stabilize the mind, and is called "Dharma Definition Seal". The body posture, hand gestures and facial expressions reflect the perfection and supremacy of Buddha's wisdom, personality and morality. Some people ask what the "little ghosts" under the Lotus Stations of the Seven Buddhas mean. There are two interpretations: First, the Lotus Seat is also known as "Vajra Seat" or "Sumeru Seat", which means that the Buddha's Dharma Seat is as tall and solid as "Mount Sumeru" (the name of the mountain in the ancient Indian legend), under which the "Kid" is molded. The seat is molded under the "Vajra Rex", muscular, fierce face, the evil deterrent effect; Second, Shakyamuni Buddha, "six paths", to save the hungry ghosts, in order to repay the Buddha's kindness, they squat under the seat of the Vajra, listening to the scriptures to protect the seat.

There is also a Zen couplet: "Tree of consciousness open blossom, the three Buddhas, light of mercy to illuminate the thousands of worlds with the other shore; Emei long buds, seven Zun Ru Lai, compassionate intake of billions of sentient beings **** certificate of Bodhi." "Tree of Consciousness" that is "Bodhi Tree", "Blossom" that is "Yudhimana", for the class of figs, here refers to auspicious Here it refers to the flower of auspiciousness. The "Three Buddhas" are the three Buddhas of the past, present and future. "Nirvana" means "Nirvana", that is, the passing away of a Buddhist. Buddhism believes that human beings consist of two parts: the body and the soul, and those who have achieved the right result will not have their souls extinguished after death, but will go to another world, the Western World of Ultimate Bliss. "Spiritual buds" refers generally to flowers and trees with spiritual properties. "Rulai" means "true nature" and refers to the "absolute truth" spoken by the Buddha. This is the truth by which the Buddha attains enlightenment. "Taking in" means that the Buddha takes in all living beings with compassion. "Bodhi" means enlightenment. The whole meaning is: the Bodhi tree blossoms with auspicious flowers, the compassionate light of the Three Buddhas shines on all beings in the whole world, and together they reach the realm of supreme bliss; there are spiritual plants growing in Emei, and the seven Rudraksha Buddhas accept hundreds of millions of beings with compassion and help them to realize enlightenment. On the left wall, there are four wooden screens of "Seven Buddhas Madhyamika", written by Huang Tingjian, a poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a precious cultural relic. On the left is "Yin Cui Lou", on which hangs the horizontal plaque of "loyalty to the country" written by Chiang Kai-shek in Emei in 1935, and the guest room on the right is called "Waiting for the moon mountain room".
