Guiyuan Buddhist TempleGuiyuan Temple is a Buddhist temple in Central China, located at the west end of Cuiwei Street, Hangyang Town of Wuhan.It is a famous relic of Wuhan.Guiyuan Temple was built between the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, until now it is over 300 years old. According to legend, during the late Ming Dynasty, there were two brothers in Zhejiang Province, named Baiguang and Zhufeng, they became monks in the same time. They believed in Buddhism very much when they were children, so they often went to other places to broadcast Buddhism. One day, they came to Hanyang and heard that the area of the present Guiyuan Temple was a great battle field between Ming troops and Qing troops. They were very sad, so they collected the corpses and bones of the dead soldiers and buried them with the help of the local people. Two rich merchants Sun Yaoxian and Dai Tiancheng were moved by their good deeds, in order to praise their behaviors and broadcast Buddhism, they donated voluntarily a lot of money to build the temple for them. Zhufeng and Baiguang named it Guiyuan Temple, the main meaning of the name is “If you practice Buddhism, keep purity in mind and do a lot of good deeds, you will become a Buddha and get into Heaven finally.”This is the bronze statue of Guanying weighing 250 kilograms. It was presented to Guiyuan Temple by Monk Mingguang, the Buddhist abbot of a temple of Taiwan. In order to improved the relationship between Taiwan and Inland, Monk Changming, the abbot of Guiyuan Temple invited Monk Mingguang to pay a visit to Guiyuan Temple, to meet Monk Changming’s invitation, Monk Mingguang took the bronze statue of Guanying as a present and paid a visit to Guiyuan Temple in 1990.In the Hall of Sutra Collection Pavilion, there are three treasures. The first one is a piece of calligraphy, on a piece of paper which is no more than twenty centimeters wide and long, a famous calligrapher wrote two articles of Buddhism scriptures “Jingang Sutra” and “Xinjing Sutra” totaling 5424 Chinese characters with writing brush, and all these characters formed a great Chinese character “Buddhism”.The second one is the original texts of Buddhism scriptures “Huayanjing Sutra” and “Fahuajing Sutra” written with some volunteer’s blood.The third one is the jade statue of Sakyamuni carved with a great block pure white jade weighing 3 tons, it was presented to Wuhan by a high-level monk of Burma in1935. It is preserved well till now.Then we’ll pay a visit to a very s erious, sacred place. Generally, the place is regarded as the most holy-land by Buddhists. It is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist temple in construction and in Buddhists’ m ind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism, his mother gave birth to him in a garden. Sakyamuni was the prince of a state of ancient India, he was born in 565BC and died in 486BC. When he was 16 or 17 years old, he married his cousin. At the age of 29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wandering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and became an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentration that at last brought him enlightenment under a bodhi tree. then He founded an order of mendicants and spent his next 45 years preaching his ideas until his death.Beside Sakyamuni are his two disciples. The left one is called Ananda who is the youngest of the most famous ten disciples of Sakyamuni, the right one is called Jiaye who is the oldest of the most famous ten disciples of Sakyamuni. It is said, when Sakyamuni was alive, there was no copyright record of Buddhist scriptures, people broadcast Buddhism only by recitation. After Sakyamuni died, in order to broadcast Buddhism more quickly and widely, Ananda and Jiaye held a meeting of Buddhist scriptures recitation. Among all the disciples of Sakyamuni, Ananda was the most intelligent, he had a good memory and almost recited all the Buddhist scriptures that Sakyamuni ever broadcasted. So Jiaye asked somebody to make a good record and made these into some books of Buddhist scriptures. This is why we can read Buddhist scriptures today.This is the Hall of Five Hundreds Arhats. In the hall, you can tell your fortune by counting Arhats by yourself,because each Arhat has his own appearance, posture, feature and prospect. Getting into the hall, ladies count from the right, and gentlemen count from the left. When you start to count, please take anyone as the No.1, then count according to proper order until your actual age, the last one will stand for your fortune. You can imagine your fortune according to the appearance of the last Arhat. If the appearance is not good, don’t worry about it, if you believe it, it exists, if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exists.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the A rhat Hall in the south court. The Arhat Hall is an important structure in a Buddhist temple. But not all temples have an Arhat Hall, especially, well-kept Arhat Halls are very rare in China. This one is among them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characteristics. Generally, a n Arhat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the hall can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show some lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculptures themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in 1954, but, surprisingly, they were still sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was really a wonder.Arhats are the immortals in Buddhism. But when you have a look around the sculptures, you may find from the expressions on their faces that they are so familiar to you. That’s only because they were molded on the basis of the people in the reality, so they are human beings in our daily life rather than immortals.Arhats are the symbols of harmony, happiness, and good luck, so the Wuhan natives have got used to counting arhats since ancient time to pray for peace. There are a few ways of counting arhats. We can count from the first arhat from left to right or from right to left, when we just enter the hall. We can also choose any arhat as our starting point, and count in the same way, left to right or right to left. We should base counting on our own ages whatever we take. For example, I’m 25, so I should stop in front of the 25th a rhat from the starting arhat. The sculpture in front of which I stop is my lucky arhat. My lucky arhat will accompany me to spend a peaceful and lucky year. Wouldn’t you like to have a try now?。

湖北归元寺英文导游词 Corporation standardization office #QS8QHH-HHGX8Q8-GNHHJ8湖北归元寺英文导游词Guiyuan TempleChinese Buddhist temples are never single buildings. They always consist of a group buildings following a fundamental patter, which can, however, be modified. The main buildings and their symmetrically corresponding secondary buildings form individual groups and courtyards. The entire temple complex is spacious. The building inside the complex are usually single-storied and the main halls are sometimes decorated with a double roof. The towers, pavilions and halls can be multi-storied structures.The Chinese temple complex has been subject to great structural changes throughout the centuries. But temple architects follow the basic principles of secular structures from the Tang Dynasty onwards. The complexes stand on a central axis, usually a north-south axis: east-west only as an exception. (Guiyuan Temple is just the very exception.) The main buildings are strungalong this central axis, their broadest sides facing south or east.The most important and most frequently presented building inside a Buddhist temple complex are the main entrance gate, the bell and drum towers, the Hallof the Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Buddha and a pagoda.Buddhism is said to be founded in India in the 6th century BC by Siddatha Gautama (BC565 –BC486), the son of a nobleman and member of the Kshatriyacaste near the present borders of India and Nepal. Buddhism advocates that all the people are created equal and turns against the caste system of Brahmanism, so it was popular with the common people.It was said that Buddhism was spread to China in 2 BC. At the beginning, it was only regarded as a kind of witch. About 200 AD, Chinese version of Buddhist s criptures began to appear, and thus, Buddhist doctrines began to emerge withtraditional Chinese religious thought. From 2nd century to late 6th century, translation and research of Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics were becoming more and more popular and many temples were built, which reached its peak in Sui Dynasty (581AD-617AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907). Some Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics came into being. Buddhism exerts a great influence on Chinese philosophy, literature, art and folk customs.What is presented before our eyes is a copper statue of a famous bodhisattva in Hynayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva is a tittle which is only next to Buddha. This statue is the image of Avalokitesvara, which has been popular with Chinese people or more than 1,000 years. She is called the Goddess of Mercy cordiallyby Chinese and is regarded as the symbol of kindness, mercy and benevolence. When we visit the Avalokitesvara Pavilion after a while, I will give a detailed introduction about her. This copper statue was sent to Guiyuan Temple by Taiwan Buddhists in September 1990. It shows that all Chinese, whether in the mainland or in Taiwan, are eager for the reunion of the country, even including religion believers.The building we see now is the Buddha Hall where one certain Buddha and his two assistant bodhisattvases are worshiped. This Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha means incomparable brightness. According to Buddhism, time and spaceis limitless and thus there are many many Buddhas in different spaces and times. But in a certain space or in a certain period of time, there is only onecertain Buddha who is in charge of instructing all living creatures. Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha who presides over the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west, which will come in the future. Buddhist s criptures describe the Land of Ultimate Bliss as a wonderland, in which no pain exists and the people enjoy their lives. In one word, it’s very attractive. Some people will think it must be very difficult to enter such a world. How can I go to such a paradise MaybeI have to work hard and bear a lot of sufferings. In fact, it’s very easy toenter the world. He only need often murmur ‘May Buddha preserve us’ sincerely. It’s enough.You see, the statue in the middle is the very Buddha. On his left is the Goddess of Mercy. On his right is the other bodhisattva who follows the Buddha. It is said that he can save all the living creatures from three kinds ofterrible disasters.Now, let’s step into the Bu ddhist s criptures Pavilion where the s cripturesof Buddhism are kept. But I ‘m afraid what attracts our attention at the first sight must be this snow-white statue. It is a statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. This statue was carved out of a big piece of jade which is 2-meter-tall and weighs 3 tons. It was carved by Myanmar handicraftsmen and donated to the temple by the Rangoon Buddhists in 1935.If we watch the statue, we may sense that the peaceful expression on the Buddha’s face has brought u s to a quiet and harmonious state.The last building we will visit is the Avalokitesvara Pavilion in the north yard. When we entered the yard just now we saw a statue of her. Now I’d liketo introduce her carefully.As a goddess, she swore that she would not become a Buddha until all the living creatures suffering from pains were saved. So she became a bodhisattva who is most popular among the people and attracts the most believers of all the gods and goddesses in Buddhism. It was said that one would be saved from trouble and disaster as long as he (she) chanted her name and if it was heard by her. Thus she is called Guanshiyin, which means ‘hearing or looking on the voices of the suffering’. Because of her kind heart and benevolence she got another title‘the Goddess of Mercy’.According to Buddhism, bodhisattvases have no distinction of sex, that is, they are neither male nor female, because they are immortals. But it’s very strange and interesting that most of bodhisattvases were engraved or carved in the images of various kinds of men in human society. Changes didn’t take place until an emperor’s mother thought it was inconvenient to worship a male bodhisattva in her bedroom. From then on, Guanshiyin, the bodhisattvas began to appear before her believers in the image of a beautiful and elegant lady.We’ll pay a visit to a very serious, sacred place. Generally, the place is regarded as the most holy by Buddhists. It is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist temple in construction and in Buddhists’ mind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism his mother gave birth to him in a garden. He belonged to Kshatreya Caste. He married his cousin when he was 16 or 17 years old. At the age of 29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wandering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and became an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentration that at last brought him enlightenment under a bo tree. He then founded an order of mendicants and spent his next 45 years preaching his ideas until his death.These two statue beside the Buddha are his two disciples. The one on the right was said to be Sakyamuni’s cousin and he had good memory so that he could remember all the Buddha told his disciples. The one on the left was said to be the lord of Brahmnism and he once was Sakyamuni’s tutor. But afterwards he was convinced by Buddhism after long-term debate between Buddhism and other religions and he accepted Sakyamuni as his tutor. Thus he became the eldest one of all Sakyamuni’s disciples.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the Ahrat Hall in the south court.The Ahrat Hall is an important structure in a Buddhist temple. But not all temples have an Ahrat Hall, especially, well-kept Ahrat Halls are very rare in China. This one is among them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characteristics.Generally, an Ahrat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the hall can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show some lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculptures themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in 1954, but, surprisingly, they were sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was really a wonder.Ahrats are the immortals in Buddhism. But when you have a look around the sculptures, you may find from the expressions on their faces that they are so familiar to you. That’s only because they were molded on the basis of the people in the reality, so they are human beings in our daily life rather than immortals.Ahrats are the symbols of harmony, happiness, and good luck, so the Wuhan natives have got used to counting ahrats since ancient time to pray for peace. There are a few ways of counting ahrats. We can count from the first ahrat from left to right or from right to left, when we just enter the hall. We can also choose any ahrat as our starting point, and count in the same way, left toright or right to left. We should base counting on our own ages whatever we take. For example, I’m 25, so I should stop in front of the 25th ahrat from the starting ahrat. The sculpture in front of which I stop is my lucky ahrat. M y lucky ahrat will accompany me to spend a peaceful and lucky year. Wouldn’tyou like to have a try now If you need, I can explain connotation of some ahrats.That’s all for the explanation to Guiyuan Temple. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. You will have another 30 minutes to have a look around the temple. If you have any problems, do let me know. I would like to repeat our bus number, A3074. Please don’t forget. See you later.。

Some Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics came into being. Buddhism exerts a greatinfluence on Chinese philosophy, literature, art and folk customs.What is presented before our eyes is a copper statue of a famous bodhisattva in Hynayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva is a tittle which is only next to Buddha. This statue is the image of Avalokitesvara, which has been popular with Chinese people or more than1,000 years. She is called the Goddess of Mercy cordially Chinese and is regarded as the symbol of kindness, mercy and benevolence. When we visit the Avalokitesvara Pavilion after a while, I will give a detailed introduction about her. This copper statue was sent to Guiyuan Temple by Taiwan Buddhists in September1990. It shows that all Chinese, whether in the mainland or in Taiwan, are eager for the reunion of the country, even including religion believers.The building we see now is the Buddha Hall where one certain Buddha and his two assistant bodhisattvases are worshiped. This Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha means incomparable brightness. According to Buddhism, time and space is limitless and thus there are many many Buddhas in different spaces and times. But in a certain space or ina certain period of time, there is only one certain Buddha who is in charge of instructing all living creatures. Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha who presides over the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west, which will come in the future. Buddhist s criptures describe the Land of Ultimate Bliss as a wonderland, in which no pain exists and the people enjoy their lives. In one word, it’s very attractive. Some people will think it must be very difficult to enter such a world. How can I go to such a paradise? Maybe I have to work hard and bear a lot of sufferings. In fact, it’s very easy to enter the world. He only need often murmur ‘May Buddha preserve us’ sincerely. It’s enough.You see, the statue in the middle is the very Buddha. On his left is the Goddess of Mercy. On his right is the other bodhisattva who follows the Buddha. It is said that he can save all the living creatures from three kinds of terrible disasters.Now, let’s step into the Buddhist s criptures Pavilion where the s criptures of Buddhism are kept. But I ‘m afraid what attracts our attention at the first sight must be this snow-white statue. It is a statue of Sakyamuni, the founderof Buddhism. This statue was carved out of a big piece of jade which is2-meter-tall and weighs3tons. It was carved by Myanmar handicraftsmen and donated to the temple by the Rangoon Buddhists in1935.If we watch the statue, we may sense that the peaceful expression on the Buddha’s face has brought us to a quiet and harmonious state.The last building we will visit is the Avalokitesvara Pavilion in the north yard. When we entered the yard just now we saw a statue of her. Now I’d like to introduce her carefully.As a goddess, she swore that she would not become a Buddha until all the living creatures suffering from pains were saved. So she became a bodhisattva who is most popular among the people and attracts the most believers of all the gods and goddesses in Buddhism. It was said that one would be saved from trouble and disaster as long as he (she) chanted her name and if it was heard by her. Thus she is called Guanshiyin, which means ‘hearing or looking on the voices of the suffering’. Because of her kind heart and benevolence she got another title ‘the Goddess of Mercy’.According to Buddhism, bodhisattvases have no distinction of sex, that is, they are neither male nor female, because they are immortals. But it’s very strange and interesting that most of bodhisattvases were engraved or carved in the images of various kinds of men in human society. Changes didn’t take place until an emperor’s mother thought it was inconvenient to worship a male bodhisattva in her bedroom. From then on, Guanshiyin, the bodhisattvas began to appear before her believers in the image of a beautiful and elegant lady.We’ll pay a visit to a very serious, sacred place. Generally, the place is regarded as the most holy by Buddhists. It is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist temple in construction and in Buddhists’mind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism his mother gave birth to him in a garden. He belonged to Kshatreya Caste. He married his cousin when he was16or17years old. At the age of29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and awandering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and became an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentration that at last brought him enlightenment under a bo tree. He then founded an order of mendicants and spent his next45years preaching his ideas until his death.These two statue beside the Buddha are his two disciples. The one on the right was said to be Sakyamuni’s cousin and he had good memory so that he could remember all the Buddha told his disciples. The one on the left was said to be the lord of Brahmnism and he once was Sakyamuni’s tutor. But afterwards he was convinced by Buddhism after long-term debate between Buddhism and other religions and he accepted Sakyamuni as his tutor. Thus he became the eldest one of all Sakyamuni’s disciples.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the Ahrat Hall in the south court.The Ahrat Hall is an important structure in a Buddhist temple. But not all temples have an Ahrat Hall, especially, well-kept Ahrat Halls are very rare in China. This one isamong them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characteristics.Generally, an Ahrat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the hall can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show some lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculptures themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in1954, but, surprisingly, they were sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was really a wonder.。

The main buildings are strung along this central axis, their broadest sides facing south or east.The most important and most frequently presented building inside a Buddhist temple complex are the main entrance gate, the bell and drum towers, the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Buddha and a pagoda.Buddhism is said to be founded in India in the 6th century BC by Siddatha Gautama (BC565 –BC486), the son of a nobleman and member of the Kshatriya caste near the present borders of India and Nepal. Buddhism advocates that all the people are created equal and turns against the caste system of Brahmanism, so it was popular with the common people.It was said that Buddhism was spread to China in 2 BC. At the beginning, it was only regarded as a kind of witch. About 200 AD, Chinese version of Buddhist s criptures began to appear, and thus, Buddhist doctrines began to emerge with traditional Chinese religious thought. From 2nd century to late 6th century, translation and research of Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics were becoming more and more popular and many temples were built, which reached its peak in Sui Dynasty (581AD-617AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907). Some Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics came intobeing. Buddhism exerts a great influence on Chinese philosophy, literature, art and folk customs.What is presented before our eyes is a copper statue of a famous bodhisattva in Hynayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva is a tittle which is only next to Buddha. This statue is the image of Avalokitesvara, which has been popular with Chinese people or more than 1,000 years. She is called the Goddess of Mercy cordially by Chinese and is regarded as the symbol of kindness, mercy and benevolence. When we visit the Avalokitesvara Pavilion after a while, I will give a detailed introduction about her. This copper statue was sent to Guiyuan Temple by Taiwan Buddhists in September 1990. It shows that all Chinese, whether in the mainland or in Taiwan, are eager for the reunion of the country, even including religion believers.The building we see now is the Buddha Hall where one certain Buddha and his two assistant bodhisattvases are worshiped. This Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha means incomparable brightness. According to Buddhism, time and space is limitless and thus there are many many Buddhas in different spaces and times. But in a certainspace or in a certain period of time, there is only one certain Buddha who is in charge of instructing all living creatures. Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha who presides over the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west, which will come in the future. Buddhist s criptures describe the Land of Ultimate Bliss as a wonderland, in which no pain exists and the people enjoy their lives. In one word, it’s very attractive. Some people will think it must be very difficult to enter such a world. How can I go to such a paradise? Maybe I have to work hard and bear a lot of sufferings. In fact, it’s very easy to enter the world. He only need often murmur ‘May Buddha preserve us’ sincerely. It’s enough.You see, the statue in the middle is the very Buddha. On his left is the Goddess of Mercy. On his right is the other bodhisattva who follows the Buddha. It is said that he can save all the living creatures from three kinds of terrible disasters.Now, let’s step into the Buddhist s criptures Pavilion where the s criptures of Buddhism are kept. But I ‘m afraid what attracts our attention at the firstsight must be this snow-white statue. It is a statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. This statue was carved out of a big piece of jade which is 2-meter-tall and weighs 3 tons. It was carved by Myanmar handicraftsmen and donated to the temple by the Rangoon Buddhists in 1935.If we watch the statue, we may sense that the peaceful expression on the Buddha’s face has brought us to a quiet and harmonious state.The last building we will visit is the Avalokitesvara Pavilion in the north yard. When we entered the yard just now we saw a statue of her. Now I’d like to introduce her carefully.As a goddess, she swore that she would not become a Buddha until all the living creatures suffering from pains were saved. So she became a bodhisattva who is most popular among the people and attracts the most believers of all the gods and goddesses in Buddhism. It was said that one would be saved from trouble and disaster as long as he (she) chanted her name and if it was heard by her. Thus she is called Guanshiyin, which means ‘hearing or looking on the voices of thesuffering’. Because of her kind heart and benevolence she got another title ‘the Goddess of Mercy’.According to Buddhism, bodhisattvases have no distinction of sex, that is, they are neither male nor female, because they are immortals. But it’s very strange and interesting that most of bodhisattvases were engraved or carved in the images of various kinds of men in human society. Changes didn’t take place until an emperor’s mother thought it was inconvenient to worship a male bodhisattva in her bedroom. From then on, Guanshiyin, the bodhisattvas began to appear before her believers in the image of a beautiful and elegant lady.We’ll pay a visit to a very serious, sacred place. Generally, the place is regarded as the most holy by Buddhists. It is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist temple in construction and in Buddhists’ mind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism his mother gave birth to him in a garden. He belonged to Kshatreya Caste. He married his cousinwhen he was 16 or 17 years old. At the age of 29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wandering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and became an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentration that at last brought him enlightenment under a bo tree. He then founded an order of mendicants and spent his next 45 years preaching his ideas until his death.These two statue beside the Buddha are his two disciples. The one on the right was said to be Sakyamuni’s cousin and he had good memory so that he could remember all the Buddha told his disciples. The one on the left was said to be the lord of Brahmnism and he once was Sakyamuni’s tutor. But afterwards he was convinced by Buddhism after long-term debate between Buddhism and other religions and he accepted Sakyamuni as his tutor. Thus he became the eldest one of all Sakyamuni’s disciples.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the Ahrat Hall in the south court.The Ahrat Hall is an important structure in aBuddhist temple. But not all temples have an Ahrat Hall, especially, well-kept Ahrat Halls are very rare in China. This one is among them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characteristics.Generally, an Ahrat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the hall can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show some lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculptures themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in 1954, but, surprisingly, they were sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was really a wonder.Ahrats are the immortals in Buddhism. But when you have a look around the sculptures, you may find from the expressions on their faces that they are so familiar to you. That’s only because they were molded on thebasis of the people in the reality, so they are human beings in our daily life rather than immortals.Ahrats are the symbols of harmony, happiness, and good luck, so the Wuhan natives have got used to counting ahrats since ancient time to pray for peace. There are a few ways of counting ahrats. We can count from the first ahrat from left to right or from right to left, when we just enter the hall. We can also choose any ahrat as our starting point, and count in the same way, left to right or right to left. We should base counting on our own ages whatever we take. For example, I’m 25, so I should stop in front of the 25th ahrat from the starting ahrat. The sculpture in front of which I stop is my lucky ahrat. My lucky ahrat will accompany me to spend a peaceful and lucky year. Wouldn’t you like to have a try now? If you need, I can explain connotation of some ahrats.That’s all for the explanation to Guiyuan Temple. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. You will have another 30 minutes to have a look around the temple. If you have any problems, do let me know. I would like to repeat our bus number, A3074. Please don’tforget. See you later.。

湖北归元寺英文导游词
湖北归元寺英文导游词Guiyuan TempleChinese Buddhist temples are never single buildings. They always consist of a group buildings following a fundamental patter, which can, however, be modified. The main buildings and their symmetrically corresponding secondary buildings form individual groups and courtyards. The entire temple xxplex is spacious. The building inside the xxplex are usually single-storied and the main halls are sometimes decorated with a double roof. The towers, pavilions and halls can be multi-storied structures.The Chinese temple xxplex has been subject to great structural changes throughout the centuries. But temple architects follow the basic principles of secular structures from the Tang Dynasty onwards. The xxplexes stand on a central axis, usually a north-south axis: east-west only as an exception. (Guiyuan Temple is just the very exception.) The main buildings are strung along this central axis, their broadest sides facing south or east.The most important and most frequently presented building inside a Buddhist temple xxplex are the main entrance gate, the bell and drum towers, the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Buddha and a pagoda.Buddhism is said to be founded in India in the 6th century BC by Siddatha Gautama (BC565 –BC486), the son of a nobleman and member of the Kshatriya caste near the present borders of India and Nepal. Buddhism advocates that all the people are created equal and turns against the caste system of Brahmanism, so it was popular with the xxmon people.It was said that Buddhism was spread to China in 2 BC. At the beginning, it was only regarded as a kind of witch. About 200 AD, Chinese version of Buddhist s criptures began to appear, and thus, Buddhist doctrines began to emerge with traditional Chinese religious thought. From 2nd century to late 6th century, translation and research of Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics were bexxing more and more popular and many temples were built, which reached its peak in Sui Dynasty (581AD-617AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907). Some Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics came intobeing. Buddhism exerts a great influence on Chinese philosophy, literature, art and folk customs.What is presented before our eyes is a copper statue of a famous bodhisattva in Hynayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva is a tittle which is only next to Buddha. This statue is the image of Avalokitesvara, which has been popular with Chinese people or more than 1,000 years. She is called the Goddess of Mercy cordially by Chinese and is regarded as the symbol of kindness, mercy and benevolence. When we visit the Avalokitesvara Pavilion after a while, I will give a detailed introduction about her. This copper statue was sent to Guiyuan Temple by Taiwan Buddhists in September 1990. It shows that all Chinese, whether in the mainland or in Taiwan, are eager for the reunion of the country, even including religion believers.The building we see now is the Buddha Hall where one certain Buddha and his two assistant bodhisattvases are worshiped. This Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha means inxxparable brightness. According to Buddhism, time and space is limitless and thus there are many many Buddhas in different spaces and times. But in a certainspace or in a certain period of time, there is only one certain Buddha who is in charge of instructing all living creatures. Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha who presides over the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west, which will xxe in the future. Buddhist s criptures describe the Land of Ultimate Bliss as a wonderland, in which no pain exists and the people enjoy their lives. In one word, it’s very attractive. Some people will think it must be very difficult to enter such a world. How can I go to such a paradise? Maybe I have to work hard and bear a lot of sufferings. In fact, it’s very easy to enter the world. He only need often murmur ‘May Buddha preserve us’ sincerely. It’s enough.You see, the statue in the middle is the very Buddha. On his left is the Goddess of Mercy. On his right is the other bodhisattva who follows the Buddha. It is said that he can save all the living creatures from three kinds of terrible disasters.（2）（3）Now, let’s step into the Buddhist s criptures Pavilion where the s criptures of Buddhism are kept. But I ‘m afraid what attracts our attention at the firstsight must be this snow-white statue. It is a statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. This statue was carved out of a big piece of jade which is 2-meter-tall and weighs 3 tons. It was carved by Myanmar handicraftsmen and donated to the temple by the Rangoon Buddhists in 1935.If we watch the statue, we may sense that the peaceful expression on the Buddha’s face has brought us to a quiet and harmonious state.The last building we will visit is the Avalokitesvara Pavilion in the north yard. When we entered the yard just now we saw a statue of her. Now I’d like to introduce her carefully.As a goddess, she swore that she would not bexxe a Buddha until all the living creatures suffering from pains were saved. So she became a bodhisattva who is most popular among the people and attracts the most believers of all the gods and goddesses in Buddhism. It was said that one would be saved from trouble and disaster as long as he (she) chanted her name and if it was heard by her. Thus she is called Guanshiyin, which means ‘hearing or looking on the voices of thesuffering’. Because of her kind heart and benevolence she got another title ‘the Goddess of Mercy’.According to Buddhism, bodhisattvases have no distinction of sex, that is, they are neither male nor female, because they are immortals. But it’s very strange and interesting that most of bodhisattvases were engraved or carved in the images of various kinds of men in human society. Changes didn’t take place until an emperor’s mother thought it was inconvenient to worship a male bodhisattva in her bedroom. From then on, Guanshiyin, the bodhisattvas began to appear before her believers in the image of a beautiful and elegant lady.We’ll pay a visit to a very serious, sacred place. Generally, the place is regarded as the most holy by Buddhists. It is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist temple in construction and in Buddhists’ mind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism his mother gave birth to him in a garden. He belonged to Kshatreya Caste. He married his cousinwhen he was 16 or 17 years old. At the age of 29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wandering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and became an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentration that at last brought him enlightenment under a bo tree. He then founded an order of mendicants and spent his next 45 years preaching his ideas until his death.These two statue beside the Buddha are his two disciples. The one on the right was said to be Sakyamuni’s cousin and he had good memory so that he could remember all the Buddha told his disciples. The one on the left was said to be the lord of Brahmnism and he once was Sakyamuni’s tutor. But afterwards he was convinced by Buddhism after long-term debate between Buddhism and other religions and he accepted Sakyamuni as his tutor. Thus he became the eldest one of all Sakyamuni’s disciples.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the Ahrat Hall in the south court.The Ahrat Hall is an important structure in aBuddhist temple. But not all temples have an Ahrat Hall, especially, well-kept Ahrat Halls are very rare in China. This one is among them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characteristics.Generally, an Ahrat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the hall can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show some lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculptures themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in 1954, but, surprisingly, they were sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was really a wonder.Ahrats are the immortals in Buddhism. But when you have a look around the sculptures, you may find from the expressions on their faces that they are so familiar to you. That’s only because they were molded on the basis of the people in the reality, so they are humanbeings in our daily life rather than immortals.Ahrats are the symbols of harmony, happiness, and good luck, so the Wuhan natives have got used to counting ahrats since ancient time to pray for peace. There are a few ways of counting ahrats. We can count from the first ahrat from left to right or from right to left, when we just enter the hall. We can also choose any ahrat as our starting point, and count in the same way, left to right or right to left. We should base counting on our own ages whatever we take. For example, I’m 25, so I should stop in front of the 25th ahrat from the starting ahrat. The sculpture in front of which I stop is my lucky ahrat. My lucky ahrat will acxxpany me to spend a peaceful and lucky year. Wouldn’t you like to have a try now? If you need, I can explain connotation of some ahrats.That’s all for the explanation to Guiyuan Temple. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. You will have another 30 minutes to have a look around the temple. If you have any problems, do let me know. I would like to repeat our bus number, A3074. Please don’t forget. See you later.。

From 2nd century to late 6th century, translation and research of Buddhist sect s with Chinese characteristics were becoming more and more p opular and many temples were built, which reached its peak in Sui Dynasty (581AD-617AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907). Some Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics came i nto being. Buddhism exerts a great influence on Chinese phil osophy, literature, art and folk customs.What is presented before our eyes is a copper statue of a famous bodhisattva in Hynayana Buddhism. Bodhisattva is a t ittle which is only next to Buddha. This statue is the ima ge of Avalokitesvara, which has been popular with Chinese pe ople or more than 1,000 years. She is called the Goddess o f Mercy cordially by Chinese and is regarded as the symbol of kindness, mercy and benevolence. When we visit the Aval okitesvara Pavilion after a while, I will give a detailed i ntroduction about her. This copper statue was sent to Guiyuan Temple by Taiwan Buddhists in September 1990. It shows th at all Chinese, whether in the mainland or in Taiwan, are eager for the reunion of the country, even including religio n believers.The building we see now is the Buddha Hall where one certa in Buddha and his two assistant bodhisattvases are worshiped. This Buddha is Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha means incomparable brightness. According to Buddhism, time and space is limitl ess and thus there are many many Buddhas in different space s and times. But in a certain space or in a certain perio d of time, there is only one certain Buddha who is in cha rge of instructing all living creatures. Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha who presides over the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west, which will come in the future. Buddhist s cript ures describe the Land of Ultimate Bliss as a wonderland, i n which no pain exists and the people enjoy their lives. I n one word, it’s very attractive. Some people will think i t must be very difficult to enter such a world. How can I go to such a paradise? Maybe I have to work hard and be ar a lot of sufferings. In fact, it’s very easy to enter the world. He only need often murmur ‘May Buddha preserve us’sincerely. It’s enough.You see, the statue in the middle is the very Buddha. On his left is the Goddess of Mercy. On his right is the oth er bodhisattva who follows the Buddha. It is said that he can save all the living creatures from three kinds of terri ble disasters.Now, let’s step into the Buddhist s criptures Pavilion wher e the s criptures of Buddhism are kept. But I ‘m afraid what attracts our attention at the first sight must be this snow-white statue. It is a statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. This statue was carved out of a big piece of jad e which is 2-meter-tall and weighs 3 tons. It was carved by Myanmar handicraft smen and donated to the temple by the Rangoon Buddhists in 1935.If we watch the statue, we may sense that the peaceful exp ression on the Buddha’s face has brought us to a quiet an d harmonious state.The last building we will visit is the Avalokitesvara Pavili on in the north yard. When we entered the yard just now w e saw a statue of her. Now I’d like to introduce her car efully.As a goddess, she swore that she would not become a Buddha until all the living creatures suffering from pains were s aved. So she became a bodhisattva who is most popular among the people and attracts the most believers of all the god s and goddesses in Buddhism. It was said that one would be saved from trouble and disaster as long as he (she) chant ed her name and if it was heard by her. Thus she is call ed Guanshiyin, which means ‘hearing or looking on the voice s of the suffering’.Because of her kind heart and benevol ence she got another title ‘the Goddess of Mercy’.According to Buddhism, bodhisattvases have no distinction of sex, that is, they are neither male nor female, because the y are immortals. But it’s very strange and interesting that most of bodhisattvases were engraved or carved in the imag es of various kinds of men in human society. Changes didn’t take place until an emperor’s mother thought it was inco nvenient to worship a male bodhisattva in her bedroom. From then on, Guanshiyin, the bodhisattvas began to appear befor e her believers in the image of a beautiful and elegant la dy.We’ll pay a visit to a very serious, sacred place. General ly, the place is regarded as the most holy by Buddhists. I t is the Grand Hall, where the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamu ni is worshiped. It is always the center of a Buddhist tem ple in construction and in Buddhists’mind.The statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. According to Buddhism his mother gave birth to him in a garden. He belonged to Kshatreya Caste. He married his cousin when he was 16 or 17 years old. At the age of 29, he was confronted with the sights of an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wa ndering ascetic. With eyes opened to aspects of life newly revealed to him, he broke from the material world and becam e an ascetic. Six years later, he gave up mystic concentrat ion that at last brought him enlightenment under a bo tree. He then founded an order of mendicants and spent his next 45 years preaching his ideas until his death.These two statue beside the Buddha are his two disciples. T he one on the right was said to be Sakyamuni’s cousin and he had good memory so that he could remember all the Bud dha told his disciples. The one on the left was said to b e the lord of Brahmnism and he once was Sakyamuni’s tutor. But afterwards he was convinced by Buddhism after long-term debate between Buddhism and other religions and he acce pted Sakyamuni as his tutor. Thus he became the eldest one of all Sakyamuni’s disciples.Next, we’ll pay a visit to the Ahrat Hall in the south c ourt.The Ahrat Hall is an important structure in a Buddhist temp le. But not all temples have an Ahrat Hall, especially, wel l-kept Ahrat Halls are very rare in China. This one is among them, and what’s more, it has its own unique characterist ics.Generally, an Ahrat Hall is a square building. The building is subdivided into four small square courts so that the h all can get enough sunlight. This kind of structure show so me lucky implies in Chinese Buddhist culture.Another characteristic about the hall lies in these sculpture s themselves. They were neither made up of wood, nor stone, nor clay. A special way was taken in making them, which could prevents them from being burned, being soaked or being eaten by insects. All the sculptures were floating in water while Wuhan was flooded in 1954, but, surprisingly, they were sound and safe after the flood had receded. It was re ally a wonder.Ahrats are the immortals in Buddhism. But when you have a look around the sculptures, you may find from the expression s on their faces that they are so familiar to you. That’s only because they were molded on the basis of the people in the reality, so they are human beings in our daily li fe rather than immortals.Ahrats are the symbols of harmony, happiness, and good luck, so the Wuhan natives have got used to counting ahrats sin ce ancient time to pray for peace. There are a few ways o f counting ahrats. We can count from the first ahrat from left to right or from right to left, when we just enter t he hall. We can also choose any ahrat as our starting poin t, and count in the same way, left to right or right to left. We should base counting on our own ages whatever we take. For example, I’m25, so I should stop in front of the 25th ahrat from the starting ahrat. The sculpture in fr ont of which I stop is my lucky ahrat. My lucky ahrat wil l accompany me to spend a peaceful and lucky year. Wouldn’t you like to have a try now? If you need, I can explain connotation of some ahrats.That’s all for the explanation to Guiyuan Temple. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. You will have anoth er 30 minutes to have a look around the temple. If you ha。
