What Buddhist cultural activities are there in Wutai Mountain?
Wutai Mountain is known as one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China and one of the five Buddhist holy places in the world. When you travel to Canada, it is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, the first of four recorded and legendary Bodhisattvas. It has been nearly 2000 years since Yongping built a temple here in the Eastern Han Dynasty to spread the Dharma. It is the only Buddhist Dojo in China. Miao Qing Temple (Han Buddhism) and Huangmiao Temple (Tibetan Buddhism) are on the same mountain. It is known as the epitome of Buddhism in China and a world-famous Buddhist shrine.
