Hello everyone! The journey is hard. First of all, welcome to JiuhuaMountain, Lingshan Buddha land. My name is wan. I'm a tour guide of Taibaitravel agency of Jiuhua Mountain. On behalf of our travel agency, myself and thedriver, please allow me to extend my sincere greetings to you. May the Tibetanking Bodhisattva of Jiuhua Mountain bless your family and everything goeswell!
Now we come to the body palace of Jiuhua Mountain. When we talk about thebody palace of Jiuhua Mountain, we have to mention one person. His name is Jinqiaojue. He is a foreigner. He comes from ancient Silla, which is the southeastof the Korean Peninsula today. According to historical records, Jin qiaojue wasa prince of Silla. At the age of 24, he cut his hair to become a monk and sailedfrom Silla to China. He traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers inChina, and finally settled down in Jiuhua Mountain to practice.
And in accordance with the vow of Bodhisattva dizang: "hell is not empty,vow not to become a Buddha.". During his practice in Jiuhua Mountain, Jinqiaojue subdued the beasts and collected herbs. While he was treating the peopleon the mountain, he preached sutras and widely practiced Buddhism, which wasdeeply loved by the people. Jin qiaojue gradually became famous and receivedmany disciples. Even local officials went up to the mountain to listen toBuddhism and recite his deeds to the imperial court. As a result, more and morepeople follow Jin qiaojue.
Because of the high mountains, dense forests and little land, the monkscould not support themselves with food, so they had to eat guanyintu. Because oflong-term malnutrition, people at that time called Jin qiaojue "haggard monk"and his disciples "haggard people". However, the more difficult it was, the morefirm Jin qiaojue's faith was and the more respected he was. Even the monks ofSilla came to follow him one after another. After ninety-nine years old as likeas two peas, Jin Qiaojue died, and the body had not rotted for three years. Hisface was just like before his death. These supernatural phenomena are similar tothose of the Tibetan king Bodhisattva recorded in the Buddhist scriptures.
It happened that jinqiaojue was named jindizang, so Buddhism confirmed himas the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva king of dizang. People built pagodas andtombs to worship him. Since then, Jiuhua Mountain has become a well-known TaoistCenter for the king of Tibetans.
Now I'd like to explain to you the meaning of the "body" offered by the"body Palace". Flesh body, originally meant to be the flesh and blood ofparents. The so-called "body" of Buddhism refers to the body of the eminent monkafter his death. Although his body has gone through a long period of time, ithas not been rotten and festering, and adheres to its original shape and islifelike. Only monks and nuns who have reached a very high level of practice canform the body. The body is different from the "Mummy" in Egypt. In ancientEgypt, the funeral ceremony was very simple, just digging a shallow pit in thedesert to bury. Due to the dry desert climate, the body quickly dehydrated whenit came into contact with hot sand, and the bacteria were killed, forming amummy by natural action.
After the mummy is in the human death, the viscera, brain and other tissueswill be removed, and then the body with drug treatment and preservation. Mummieshave also been unearthed in Xinjiang, China. Jiuhua Mountain is located on theSouth Bank of the Yangtze River. It is humid all the year round, and the climateis humid. There is no natural condition to produce mummies, and the body has notbeen treated with any medicine.
So far, this peculiar physical phenomenon has not been scientificallyexplained.
There are many precious cultural relics in the body hall and its culturalrelics exhibition room. Some of them are gifts for the royal family. It is veryrare and can be called a treasure house of Buddhist cultural relics. Every year,on the birthday of the king of Tibetans on July 30 of the lunar calendar, it isa traditional temple fair in Jiuhua Mountain. Monks, nuns and pilgrims from allover the country hold Buddhist activities there and gather around the bodypagoda to watch the night for the king of Tibetans. Nearby urban and ruralresidents also go to the mountain for folk cultural entertainment activities.Thousands of tourists and pilgrims, chanting Buddha's name day and night,surrounded by cigarettes and drumming, present a grand ceremony.
