Wutai Mountain is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva. As soon as you enter Wutai Mountain, you will be infected by this extraordinary air place and vaguely feel that you have close ties with an ancient temple. What is striking is that "auspicious nature" enters Wutai Mountain from the west gate of the scenic spot. This is the inscription of Manjusri riding statue in the 28th year of Kangxi. As a result, Shuxiang Temple has become one of the five Zen sites in Wutai Mountain and one of the top ten green temples in Wutai Mountain.
The Great Manjusri Hall in Shuxiang Temple is one of the three "Manjusri Halls" in Wutai Mountain. There is a statue of Manjushri riding arm in arm, 9.87 meters high, which is the highest colored Manjushri statue in Taihuai Town, Wutai Mountain. Legend has it that when this statue was created, Manjusri Bodhisattva showed its true face in the sky, and craftsmen suddenly saw Manjusri Bodhisattva show its true face in the sky. He was in a hurry and took out his kitchen and made it according to the shape. When I squeeze it, the true meaning of Manjusri is gone. The craftsman then imitated plastic with clay, but it was always unsatisfactory, so the craftsman simply put the head of a bodhisattva carved with Qiao's face on the clay sculpture and plated it with gold. Therefore, this statue is also called "Qiao Face Manjusri Bodhisattva".
The statue temple is called Manjusri Zuting, and Manjusri Bodhisattva is the first in wisdom. In Shuxiang Temple, you seek learning and wisdom. In addition, there are Guanyin and Qiu Zi in the temple, which are very aura. All visitors to Wutai Mountain will go to manjusri temple, the ancestral hall of Manjusri Bodhisattva, to seek wisdom and study for their children!
How to worship Manjusri Bodhisattva for wisdom?
As soon as you enter the temple, you will first see a double-decker lampstand, which is mainly used to light the lotus wisdom lamp for children and light up their future. The size of the smart lamp is related to the number of days of illumination. Generally, it can only be lit for one day, and the older one can be lit for 12 days or 7749 days.
Light the lamp before you light the incense. Incense is an alternative way of communication between man and Buddha. When burning incense, bow clockwise three times in all directions, and then put the incense in the big incense burner behind the lampstand.
After burning incense, continue to burn incense in the temple hall, kneel in front of Manjusri Bodhisattva, worship the Buddha three times, and then silently report the name and address of your child to Manjusri Bodhisattva, praying that Manjusri Bodhisattva will bless your child's academic success!
