Shuiyue Guanyin Bodhisattva and Drip Guanyin Bodhisattva

At present, the academic circles agree that the origin of Shuiyue Guanyin is related to qi zhou, a painter in the middle Tang Dynasty. According to Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of Datang", Guanbu Dust Luojiashan in Ganzhou is a "wonderful creation of the body of water and moon", which soon spread and became one of thirty-three guanyin in later generations. In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Shuiyue Guanyin statue has been seen in temple murals all over the country. After the Northern Song Dynasty, the influence of Shuiyue Guanyin was expanding day by day, and it became one of the most common manifestations of Guanyin statues in later generations. "Water Moon" means "Moon in Water", which means that Buddhism and Buddhism have no entity in Buddhist scriptures. The full moon behind can be said to be a symbol of Shuiyue Guanyin. Shuiyue Guanyin often has a beautiful face, graceful posture, grace and elegance, full of wisdom and love.

The origin of dripping Guanyin

One year, there was a great drought in Yangzhai (now Yuzhou City). I saw the scorching sun in the sky, the earth cracked and the seedlings withered and yellow. One day, the merciful avalokitesvara bodhisattva drove Xiangyun around here. Seeing this scene, she is very kind and wants to put a spell on the rain, suck it dry and save the people in Yangzhai.

Guanyin thought, "The depth of the East China Sea is inexhaustible. Why not use it? " But the sky is high and the road is far. What can I use to deliver water? "Thought of here, avalokitesvara leaned down and looked down, only to see smoke billowing from GuJunTai in the northeast corner of Yangzhai City, and it was a kiln. I heard that a kind of precious porcelain is produced here. Isn't it good to hold water with expensive porcelain?

Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the door of a kiln and knocked on Chai Men. The door is opened by a girl named Rainbow. Rainbow recognized Guanyin Bodhisattva and knelt down to beg Guanyin Bodhisattva to help the people in Yangzhai quickly. Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "That's why I'm here. Get up quickly. Lend me your Jun porcelain vase. " Rainbow was very happy to hear this. He hurried back to the house and took out a beautiful Jun porcelain vase, repeatedly saying that he would give it to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin saw her sincerity and accepted it gladly.

Guanyin came over the East China Sea, put down the bottle mouth, and murmured, only to see a stream of water rushing up and getting into the bottle mouth. Guanyin released the water in Aquarius, returned to the sky above Yangzhai, put down the Aquarius bottle and began to rain. Every drop of water in Aquarius will turn into a downpour. Aquarius keeps dripping and raining. The crops in the field drank enough water, and the seedlings grew upright and turned green. People in Yangzhai rushed to tell each other and thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva for dropping nectar. I can clearly see the rainbow, and the image of Guanyin dripping water in her hand is deeply imprinted in her mind. Seeing that it was raining, Guanyin put away the vase and drove Xiangyun to other places to spend time with all beings.

After the rain stopped, families began to work as usual. Rainbow girl has brains. She burned many porcelain bottles according to the original bottle she gave Guanyin Bodhisattva, and named them "Guanyin Bottle". It took her another ninety-nine days to carefully shape a dripping Guanyin and burn it into Jun porcelain. Strangely, as soon as this Guanyin statue came out of the kiln, Aquarius began to drip, drop by drop, and kept dripping. People say, "Guanyin Bodhisattva has appeared again!" With the dripping Guanyin and the Guanyin bottle in her hand, the weather in Yangzhai has been good since then, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are rich.

Guanyin bottle is also called "harvest bottle" because it can bring people a good harvest.
