There are about 100 million religious followers in China. Most of them are in the four major religious, namely Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity. Among these religious, Buddhism has the longest history and greatest impact on Chinese culture.Buddhism was founded in ancient India in 6th century B.C by Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha. The word ’Buddha’in Sanskrit basically means ‘The enlightened being’, is a path leading to enlightenment or Buddha hood where the various sufferings of existence are released and endless transmigration(无尽的轮回) of birth and death is escaped.

Two popular sects are Jing Tu and Chan.

After his last leg was Myanmar, a Buddhist country, where he was impressed by local jade carvings and decided to bring jade Buddha statues home, he begged alms and managed to raise enough funds, largely from the local overseas Chinese.

When she was incarnated into a boy upon meeting Sakyamuni, She attained Buddhahood.Above Guan Yin is a statue of skinny Sakyamuni about his ascetic practice in Snow Mountains Sakyamuni was then in deep meditation and had been fasting for 7 weeks, eating almost nothing.(十八罗汉)Below on the mural sculpture are eighteen Arhats, each with a vivid facial expression.

On the way to the museum, I ‘d like to show a present to express mywarmest welcome to you. You may wonder what the present is. Well let me introduce it to you. The music you are going to listen to is the very gift. Now, please enjoy the music.Have you ever listened to the music? And what musical instrument is used to play the beautiful melody?That’s the serial bells, a wonder in the world. Indeed a wonder in the world. Every year tourists from all over the world continuously come to visit them and appreciate the programs played by it. Each year they return with unforgetable memory.The building with red wall and green tiers before us is the very museum, Hubei Provincial Museum. Constructed in 1953, the museum is the center for collecting, studying, preserving and displaying historical and cultural relics in Hubei. More than 700,000 ancient relics are stored up in it. There is a collection of 100,000 books on history, archaeology, art etc. These relics provide precious material data for studying the development of history, culture, art, science and technology in ancient China.Situated in the middle reach of the Yangtze River, Hubei has a long history and rich land. As early as 2,000,000 years ago, our ancestors lived and worked here and gradually they began to create their own civilization. The relics unearthed from Zenghouyi Tomb are good proofs to the civilization. The relics displayed in the museum are most from the tomb. Serial bells are the most precious and greatest of them all.Are you familiar with the history of the serial bells?It is said that it is the oldest musical instrument kept in the world. You see, our ancestors already knew how to use music to enrich their lives so long ago.Luckily indeed, our archaeologists discovered it by accident and thus displayed the marvelous ancient civilization of Chu Statein front us.In 1978, a soldier discovered a large tomb when building his house. It was really a great surprise to discover it at that time. Afterwards, archaeologists excavated these serial bells on the same spot. This was appraised to be the tomb of Zenghouyi. It was220 square meters, 20 metros deep, consisting of 4 tombs. The main coffin was made up of huge internal and external coffins. The man in it died at the age of 45. Those buried alive with the dead were all female, aged from 13 to 25. They were in 21 coffins.Besides the serial bells, more than 7,000 other historical cultural relics have been unearthed, such as bronze ware, ancient musical instrument, weapons, golden ware, jade ware, painted ware, wooden ware, and bamboo ware. Most of them are unique art treasure and they were deliberately made.What is especially worth mentioning is the ancient musical instrument, such as serial bells, stone chimes, drums, 25-stringed plucked zither, and bamboo flute. They are totally 8 types, including 124 pieces. The entire musical instrument is placed perfectly among the bronze serial bells. They make the tomb look like an ancient concert hall.Today the underground concert hall has come back to life. As a major instrument, 64 serial bells are put in the middle room, lined along the north and west wall. It can be concluded that serial bells are Zenhouyi’s favorite, for his body was placed in the west room.As wee see, these big bells are shaped like round-bottomed baskets; small ones are like warming pots. They are hung in 3 layers from the winding bell shelf that is 13 meters long, 2.7 meters high. The whole bell shelf is supported by 6 human-shapeobjects. It is as strong as newly cast.Ok, let me give you a brief introduction about the elegant ancient serial bells. All the bells have been played. They are all carved with inscription about musical melody. Each bell can produce 2 pitches. After many years of research, we find that its amplitude approached the international level of today. The combined scale is the 7 notes in C major of today. Its compasses very side, including 5 and a half octaves. The whole sound may be adjusted. Its wooden shelf is quite exquisite. Although buried for 2,400 years, the serial bells are well played. It not only can be used to play with to produce scores with the same melody, but also can produce mixed sounds though harmony and repeat tunes. Chinese musical pieces, such as Intoning Three Times Before Leaving Yang Pass, The Moon On The Spring River, and foreign pieces, such as Christmas Eve, can be played on it, even Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in the Ninth Symphony can be. Foreign tourists are usually attracted by the fascinating music when listening to the Chinese song The Night On The Prairie. When foreign songs cut in, they are shocked by the old civilization of Chu State. As the famous violinist, Menuin praised it, ‘The grand Greek music is accepted by the world. However, the musical instruments in ancient Greece were made of wood, what’s more, not a single instrument is kept till today. Here we are able to enjoy the sound of the instrument of 2,000 years\\\\\\\' history from the tomb of Chu State.Actually, whoever enjoys the music played on the serial bells will be surprised at the great achievement made by the people of Chu State in the fields of music, culture, smelting, and casting.According to the history, Chu State was called the state of rites and music at that time. People in Chu State love dancing.They danced in the palace and sang in the room. They knew how to enjoy dancing and singing. We can imagine the following scene. The host of the bomb was seated in his palace and watched the girls dancing. On both his sides sat his followers. They sat on the floor. A table with short legs was placed in front of them. They put one hand on the table that is used to hold arms. This can be proved by the relics in the tomb.Do you know, in China, a male and a female mandarin ducks are the symbol of love, for they often play together in the water and live together. Can you see the box here? This box was found in the tomb. The box was painted. It was empty in it. But there are some pictures. They describe a very vivid situation; some people are striking bells, beating drums and dancing. This picture is very precious, for we can know how these instruments should be played, especially the serial bells.I wonder if you have noticed that there is only one mandarin duck on the box. Do you know why? Oh, he is abandoned by his lover. But he found a new company―music. He didn’t heed the other mandarin duck, for what he really loved was music.Well, I have a question. What is the tourists’favorite?The music played on the serial bells.导游词英语3玉佛寺英文导游词Ladies and gentlemen， today we are going to visit a famous Buddhist temple---the Jade Buddha Temple。

Ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to visit a famous Buddhist temple---the Jade Buddha Temple. Before visiting the temple, I’d like to say a few words about the religious situation in Shanghai. Our constitution stipulates that every Chinese citizen is ensured the freedom of religious belief. There are four major religions in practice in Shanghai, namely, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity, which is sub-divided into the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church. When it comes to Buddhist temples in China, they are usually classified into three sects, i.e. temples for meditation, for preaching and for practicing Buddhist disciplines. The Jade Buddha Temple is a temple for meditation, and is well-known both at home and abroad.The temple was first built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, when a monk named Hui Gen went on a pilgrimage to Burma and brought back five jade statues of Sakyamuni. On his way back to Mount Putuo via Shanghai, he left two jade statues here, one in sitting posture and the other, reclining. He had a temple specially built as a shrine for these two statues in 1882. later the temple was partly destroyed by fire and in 1928 a new temple was completed on the present site.Just opposite the temple gate, there stands a giant screen wall. Various designs, such as dragon, phoenix, elephant, crane and peony are carved on it. In Chinese legend, all these things are considered the symbols of fortune, wealth, longevity andauspiciousness. Chinese people used to set up a wall in front of the house so as to keep the evils away.Now ladies and gentlemen, please turn around. Here we can see the temple gate. It is also called the Sanmen Gate, or say, the Gate of Three Extrications. The door in the middle is called the Door of Emptiness, to its right is the Door of Non-phenomenon, and to its left, the Door of Non-Action. Sanmen Gate is also called the Mountain Gate because most famous temples in China are found deep in mountains. But the Sanmen gate does not open except on the first and the fifteenth of every lunar month. Now this way to the entrance.Ladies and gentlemen, the first hall is the Heavenly King Hall. We will use the rear door, please follow me.(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the southern entrance)Here we can find the statue of a fat and smiling monk with bared belly. He is Bodhisattva Maitreya. His smile is so contagious that you will smile with him and forget all your worries. So he is also called the Laughing Buddha. According to Buddhist scripture, he is now practicing Buddhism in the Tusita Heaven. After 4000 years, which is equal to 5.67 billion years on the earth, he will become successor to Sakyamuni under a Long Hua Tree in Hualin Garden. Hence another name the Future Buddha. But this statue we see here is not the real image of Bodhisattva Maitreya, it is just his incarnation.. it is said that During the Five Dynasties Period, 1000 years ago, there lived in Fenhua in Zhejiang Province a monk named Qi Ci, who always carried a wooden staff with a cloth sack on his shoulder. He often went around towns and in streets to beg alms. Therefore he became known as “the Cloth Sack Monk”. He always smiled and laughed, looking as happy as ever. When he was dying, he left the message saying that hewas the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya. So his image is enshrined in the Buddhist Temple as the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya.(on the eastern side of the Heavenly King Hall)On the two sides of the hall are enshrined four statues. They are so-called Four Heavenly Kings. In the Buddhist legend, there is in the center of the world a highest mountain called Mount Sumeru. Halfway on it is a mountain called Mount Ghandara with four peaks. On each peak lives a Heavenly King protecting the Buddhist heaven. The first one is the Southern King---King of Developing Merits. His duty is to educate all living creatures and develop king-heartedness. He is holding a sword in his hand which can emit a ray to chop off the enemies’ heads. The one next to him is the Eastern King---King of Protection for Buddhism. He is holding in his hand a pipa, which is somewhat like a guitar. With this pipa, he offers music to the Buddha. Meanwhile this pipa is a magic weapon. It can send out a musical rhythm to defeat the enemy by tormenting brain and causing him to lose combatability. Now ladies and gentlemen, please come over to this side.(on the western side of the Heavenly King Hall)The first one on this side is the Northern King---King of Virtue. He is so called because of his virtue. He is holding a parasol-shaped stela in his hand. The parasol can be opened into a canopy in Buddhist processions. It is at the same time a magic umbrella. Once it is opened in the battle field, the sky turns dark and a wind-storm rises, defeating the enemy with a dizzy spell and then it closes up capturing all the enemies. Next to him is the Western King---King of Far Sight. He observes the world with his penetrating eyes. He is holding a dragon-shaped silk rope.The rope is actually a net, with which he converts people to Buddhism just like catching fish with a net. This dragon also has a magic power. It can spurt water from its mouth and drown the enemy in floods.(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the rear door)The Statue facing the rear door is Bodhisattva Skanda. He is always dressed in armour with a worrior’s club in his hand. Originally he was one of the eight heavenly generals under the Southern King of Developing Merits. Later he has been enshrined here because of his bravery. He is also a god of message, a fleet-foot runner, so when visitors come to the temple, he will immediately report to the Buddha in the Grand Hall.Now ladies and gentlemen, that’s all for the Heavenly King Hall. Please follow me and look out the threshold and the steps.Now we can see a giant tripod in the courtyard. It is actually a giant incense burner. It was donated by some Buddhist laymen who believed that by donating something the Buddha they can help purify the souls of their dead relatives from sins and relieve them from purgatory.Now this is the main hall, known as the Grand Hall or Grand Hall of the Great Sage. It is the main structure in every Buddhist temple, where the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism is enshrined.(in the Grand Hall)Ladies and gentlemen, in the middle of the hall is the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. On his right is Medicine Buddha and on his left is Amitabha Buddha. Each is seated on a lotus blossom and has a back halo. Sakyamuni’s original name was Siddhartha Gautama. He was a contemporary of Confucius. He was born to a warrior’s family in the Hima layan foothill inancient India, or say, in present-day Nepal. He spent his youth in great luxury. But he renounced the human world at the age of 29 in search of an ultimate solution to the problems of human sufferings. After six years of spiritual discipline he got enlightened at the age of 35. he spent the remaining 45 years of his life teaching his religion and establishing a community for monks to continue his work. He was entitled “Sakyamuni”, which means “the great sage of the Sakya Clan”. He died at the age of 80.On his chest there is a sign that resembles a swastika but it has nothing to do with Hitler’s fascism because it is in an inverted order. It is actually a religious talisman used in ancient orient, symbolizing the concentration of happiness and auspiciousness.The Medicine Buddha is responsible for the Eastern Bright World. Since he can relieve people of all pains and sufferings, he is called the Medicine Buddha. He is holding a wheel, which signifies the unremitting effort of converting people to Buddhism just like turning a wheel.Amitabha Buddha is in charge of the Western Paradise. He is holding a golden lotus blossom stand with which he extradites Buddhist believers to the Western Pure Land, therefore he is also called the Buddha of Guidance.In front of the Medicine Buddha is a hollow wooden fish. It is actually an instrument used by the monks to accompany the chanting of their prayers. But do you happen to know why it is in the pattern of a fish? Now let me tell you about it. The monks think that fish is the most diligent animal in the world because it never closes its eyes, therefore the image of the fish is used to advise people that they should practice Buddhism as diligentlyas the fish.On both sides of the hall stand 20 Heavenly Gods, all protectors of Buddhist laws. They all bend slightly as if they are listening attentively to Sakyamuni’s preaching.The first one on the right side is Brahma, the chief god of Brahmanism in ancient India. It was believed in ancient India that all living creatures in the world, including gods and men, were created by him and he was thus honored as the Great Creator. Next to him is Yamaraja, the God of Hell, who is in charge of the nether world.The fourth one on this side is Goddess of Loving Children. There is an interesting story about her. It is said that before she became a goddess she was a wicked woman. She herself had many children, 500 in all, including 3 sons and 497 daughters. Her favorite child was her youngest son named Ai Nu, now standing by her side. As she always ate the children of other people, Buddha decided to convert her. One day, he hid Ai Nu in a jar. When the woman found her child missing she looked for him everywhere but could not find him. Then Buddha came up to her and said, “If you are worried when your child is missing, what about other mothers whose children you have eaten?” From then on she began to discipline herself and finally became a goddess.This is the Emperor of the Solar Palace, or say the Chinese Apolo, opposite him is the Chinese Diana, the emperor of the Lunar Palace. The last statue on this side is the Dragon King.(at the back of the Grand Hall)Ladies and gentlemen, behind the statue of Sakyamuni there is a giant mural sculpture. In the middle is the statue of Bodhisattva Guanyin. Guanyin was originally named Guanshiyinbut later abbreviated into Guanyin because the character “shi” was one of the characters in the Tang Emperor Li Shimin’s name and was considered a forbidden name. Guanyin often takes the image of a goddess in order to convert women to Buddhism. Actually he can incarnate into 32 images to convert people from all walks of life and relieve people from all kinds of sufferings. Any living creature in trouble needs only to recite his name and he will respond to the cry and readily come to help riding on the head of a huge turtle. That’s why he is described as a Bodhisattva of Great Mercy. By her two sides are her two disciples, San Cai the boy and Long Nu the girl. Above Guanyin is a statue of Sakyamuni when he was doing ascetic practices in a forest. A monkey on the right is offering preaches to him and a deer on the left is giving him milk to drink.Now a few words about San Cai, the boy and Long Nu, the girl. It is said that when San Cai was born, a number of treasures came with him, hence his name. By the way, “Can” in Chinese means “wealth”. He was later converted by Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom, and went on a pilgrimage to the south in search of teaching. He was going to call on 53 teachers and then met Guanyin, hoping to obtain the guidance to buddhahood. There are altogether 53 statues on the mural sculpture, excluding the 18 arhats. They were all supposed to be San Cai’s teachers. He came to them one after the other. Guanyin was his 27th teacher. Long Nu, the daughter of Dragon King, was a genius. At the age of 8 she often attended lectures by Manjusri. Later she met the Buddha and attained buddhahood.Below are 18 arhats, all disciples of Sakyamuni. According to Buddhist scripture, Sakyamuni asked them to stay permanently on the earth to help convert people to Buddhism. Arhats havethree characteristics, namely, they can rid of all worries, they should be supported and offered by all people, and they enter nirvana once for all and never incarnate again.(in the Hall of the Reclining Buddha)Ladies and Gentlemen: in the middle of the hall we can see a jade statue of the reclining Buddha. This is Sakyamuni in his deathbed, or say, entering nirvana. We can see him looking slightly upward and reclining on his right arm. Some may ask why he looks so calm and carefree. It is said that in his entire life-time he had taught 500 disciples, therefore, he felt no worry because he firmly believed that his disciples would carry forward his principles and preach his doctrines to emancipate mankind. This statue, 96 cm long, is carved out of a single piece of jade. It was brought from Burma together with the other statue in sitting posture. The carving was exquisitely done with delicate features and a slender figure, it is considered a rare Buddhist relic, which contributes to Jade Buddha Temple’s reputation. Now ladies and gentlemen, over here we can see four pictures on the wall of the hall which describe the life story of Sakyamuni. The first one, “Tonsure”, describes Sakyamuni having his head tonsured and clothes changed into a monk’s robe when he came a monk at the age of 29; the second, “Enlightenment”, after six years ascetic practice he became enlightened and attained buddhahood at the ag e of 35; the third, “Preaching”, Sakyamuni is preaching to his first five disciples; and the fourth, “Nirvana”, Sakyamuni entered nirvana at the age of 80.(before entering the Jade Buddha Chamber)Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to visit the last main structure on the axis---the Jade Buddha Chamber. It is located on the second floor. Please do not take pictures or video tape-recording in the chamber.(in the Jade Buddha Chamber)Ladies and Gentlemen, the statue in front of us is the Jade Buddha in sitting posture. Since Buddhism is a leading religion in China, there are a great number of statues of Sakyamuni all over the country, and most of them are made out of stone, clay, or wood, but a jade statue of the Buddha of this size is rare. It is 1.92 meter in height and 1.34 meter in width. The jewels on his head, arms and feet are all genuine ones. They were donated by Buddhist believers. The statue was carved out of a single piece of jade. It is soft in luster, even in color, pure and flawless in texture a nd exquisite in workmanship. This statue reflects Sakyamuni’s getting enlightened. We can see that his left hand rests on his left knee showing his great determination of deep meditation while his right hand stretches out onto the ground indicating that he had devoted himself to the emancipation of all mankind and this could only be witnessed by the great earth. When monk Hui Gen found the jade in Burma, he had it excavated under the permission of the Burmese King and had the Tibetan artisans carve it into a Buddha Statue, so it is a crystallization of the friendship of different nations. This statue looks life-like, with gentle and soft features and is considered a precious relic of Buddhist art. This is the reason why the temple enjoys a high reputation.In the cabinets on both sides are kept a complete set of Buddhist scripture, Da Zang Sutra, which was block-printed in 1870. this set of scripture covers Sakyamuni’s teachings by moth, Buddhist doctrines, and Buddhist theories.(in the courtyard in front of the Abbot’s Room)This is the Abbot’s Room, where the abbot priest lives. It isalso a sermon hall where the monks attend lectures by the abbot priest. On the middle wall is hung the portrait of Priest Dharma, honored as the founder of the Chan Sect in Chinese Buddhism.。
The Jade Buddha Temple(玉佛禅寺)
The Jade Buddha Temple (Chinese: 玉佛禅寺) is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai, China. As with many modern Chinese Buddhist temples, the current temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. It was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma by sea. These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 metres tall, 3 tonnes), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing Buddha's death. The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore, and visitors may mistake this larger sculpture for the original, smaller piece.HistoryDuring the rule of emperor Guang Xu in the Qing Dynasty (1875–1908), Hui Gen, an abbot from Mount Putuo went on a pilgrimage to Tibet via the two famous Chinese mountains Mount Wutai and Mount Emei. After Tibet, he arrived in Burma. Whilst there, Mr. Chen Jun-Pu, an overseas Chinese resident in Burma, donated five Jade statues of Buddha to Hui Gen, who transported two of them back to Jiang-wan, Shanghai. Here Hui Gen had a temple built with donated funds, and died shortly thereafter. This temple was occupied during the 1911 uprising, and the statues were moved to Maigen Road.An Abbot by the name of Ke Chen later had a new temple built on land donated by Sheng, Xuanhuai. Mr. Sheng Huaixuan was a senior official in the Qing court, and his father and his uncle were pious Buddhist disciples. They built houses with thatched roofs at Yizhou Pond by the Zhuanghuabang River in the northeast of Shanghai. This can be accounted as the predecessor of the monastery. The construction took ten years, and lasted from 1918-1928. Ke Chen also invited Reverend Di Xian from Tian Tai Mountain to come and lecture on Buddhism in a magnificent ceremony.In 1956, a ceremony was held at the temple by the Shanghai Buddhist Association to celebrate the 2500th anniversary of Gautama Buddha's enlightenment.In 1966, during the Cultural Revolution, the monks made a living by selling handicrafts.In 1983, Shanghai Institute of Buddhism was established at the temple under the Shanghai Buddhist Association.In 1985, Monk Zhizhi Xuan and others made a trip to Dunhuang via Xinjiang. Shortly after their return, regular scripture lectures, meditation and other features of temple life were resumed.HighlightsThe two precious jade Buddhist statues are not only rare cultural relics but also jade artworks. Both the Sitting Buddha and the Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. The sparkling and crystal-clear white jade gives the Buddhas the beauty of sanctity and make them more vivid.The Sitting Buddha is 190 centimeters high and encrusted with agates and emeralds, portraying Buddha at the moment of his meditation and enlightenment.The Recumbent Buddha is 96 centimeters long, lying on his right side with his right hand supporting his head and left hand placed on the left leg. This shape is called the 'lucky repose'. The sedate face shows the peaceful mood of Sakyamuni when he left this world.In the temple there is also another Recumbent Buddha which is four meters long and was brought from Singapore by the tenth abbot of the temple in 1989. Furthermore there are many other ancient paintings and Buddhist scriptures distributed in the different halls of the temple.。

Jade Buddha Temple
Brief IntroduceJade Buddha Temple is located in the northwest of the city proper. It has been famous of its extraordinary jade Buddhas since they were enshrined over 100 years ago, hence the temple’s name.China is a multi-religious country. The Chinese constitution ensures the freedom to its people to believe or not to believe in religions. All people, religious or not, have equal political rights and social status. There are about 100 million religious followers in China, believing mostly in the four major religions, namely, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Among these religions, Buddhism boasts the longest history and produces the greatest impact on Chinese culture.1.Buddhism was founded in ancient India in the 6th century B.C and it wasintroduced into China in 68 A.D. when the first Buddhist temple, the White Horse Temple, was built in Luoyang, Henan Province.2.Buddhism could finally make itself rooted in China owing to the integration ofChinese ideologies into the practice of Buddhism. It is marked by the establishment of many Chinese Buddhist sects in the history,especially in the Sui and Tang dynasties.3.Today, the popular Buddhist sects are Chan and Jing Tu, and they go well withother Chinese religions.4.It is estimated that there are approximately 13,000 temples and monasterieswith 200,000 monks and nuns across the nation. Lay Buddhists are more numerous, especially among the Han people, the largest ethnic group in China.5.Jade Buddha Temple belongs to Chan Buddhism. It is the most illustrious among85 Buddhist temples in Shanghai because of its two distinguished jade Buddhastatues. Talking about the jade Buddha statues, a Chinese monk named Hui Gen should never be forgotten. He was from a monastery in Mount Putuo, Zhejiang Province. During his pilgrimage in the late 19th century, he went through Myanmar where he had five jade Buddha statues carved with the donations from the local overseas Chinese. On his return voyage via Shanghai in 1882, he left two statues, one in the sitting position and the other reclining. A temple was completed in 1900 to enshrine the jade Buddhas and Monk Hui Gen became the first abbot of it. Later, the temple was destroyed in a civil war and in 1918 anew temple was constructed on the present site. It was reopened to the public in 1928 upon its completion.6.Jade Buddha Temple covers an area of 1.3 hectares with over 200 rooms forvarious purposes. The structural layout is neat and compact. It follows the typical monastic architecture with golden yellow walls, black tiled roofs, and red lacquered doors.The main buildings along the north-south axis are the Heavenly King Hall, the Grand Hall, and the Abbot’s Room with, above it, the Jade Buddha Chamber. In both wings are the accessory buildings including the Hall of the Reclining Buddha. Also on the premises of the temple is the Shanghai Buddhist Institute offering 3-yearunder-graduate and 2-year post-graduate programs.7.Jade Buddha Temple covers an area of 1.3 hectares with over 200 rooms forvarious purposes.

In both wings are the accessory buildings including the Hall of the Reclining Buddha. Also on the premises of the temple is the Shanghai Buddhist Institute offering 3-year under-graduate and 2-year post-graduate programs.Heavenly King HallThe Heavenly King Hall is the first hall in the temple.Bodhisattva Skanda① Bodhisattva Skanda is the God of Protection of Buddhist dharma.② He is the head of the four Heavenly Kings, as well as thirty-two heavenly generals.③ He serves as a protector of Buddhist premises and relics.④ He is also Sakyamuni’s messenger.Bodhisattva Maitreya① Bodhisattva Maitreya is enshrined in the Heavenly King Hall, facing the entrance.② He is characterized by a fat, smiling face and a big, bared belly, known as “Laughing Buddha” or “Happy Buddha”.③ Maitreya is the successor to Sakyamuni, so he is the Future Buddha.④ He entered nirvana earlier than Sakyamuni and ascended to the Tusita Heaven, where he would live for 4,000 years. By then he will have descended to the world and preached Buddhism until all the living go to the Western Pure Land.⑤ The statue of Laughing Buddha presented in the temple is the image of a Chinese monk named Qi Ci of the Five Dynasties, who is acknowledged as the incarnation of Maitreya.Four Heavenly Kings1. Four Heavenly Kings are enshrined on two sides of the hall, each standing for one cardinal direction of the earth. It is related with an Indian legendary mountain called Gandhara which has four peaks in the four respective directions of the east, west, south and north. Each Heavenly King stays at one peak, guarding his Buddhist world.2. The Eastern King, King of Protection for Buddhism, holds a lute and performs three duties: the first is to defend the Buddhist realm; the second is to protect the Buddhist dharma; and the third is to offer music to the Buddha. The lute called “Pipa”in Chinese is also a weapon. When it is played, it can send special rhythms to torment enemies’brains until they lose the power to fight.3. The Southern King is King of Developing Merit. Beside his main duty of protecting the Buddhist dharma and keeping evil spirits away, he civilizes the sentient and increases their kindness, hence his name. The sword he holds is so sharp that it emits cold rays to cut off enemies’heads without getting blood stain on it.4. The Western King is King of Far Sight. He watches over the society with his broad eyes and no one can escape his sight, and that’s why he is called “King of Far Sight.”He holds a dragon, which can spout water to drown enemies.5. The last is the Northern King, King of Virtue, noted for his blessing and morals. He holds something like an umbrella. It is a multi-purposed ritual ware. It can be a canopy used in the Buddha’s processions. More often, it signifies a treasure stele with Buddhist scriptures inscribed on it. When it is used as a weapon, it becomes a sizable parasol to blot out the sky and stir up a windstorm to drive enemies in all directions. When it is closed up, all the enemies will be caught in it.Grand HallThe Grand Hall is located in the center of the temple. The hall means “Treasure Hall of the Great Sage”.Life of Sakyamuni Buddha① Sakyamuni is the Buddha of the Saha Land. Sakyamuni Buddha has all the virtues in the universe and is venerated by Buddhists as “the Great Sage”for his infinite wisdom, compassion and power to educate all living creatures and liberate them from the abyss of misery.② His secular name was Siddhartha Gautama. He was born the son of a king of Sakya Clan over 2500 years ago at the Himalayan foothills in ancient India (now in Nepal).③ When he was young, Siddhartha enjoyed a royal life with all the comforts that a prince of his day could desire. His father tried to spare him any troubles of life from outside and make him happy in the palace. His father even arranged an early and grand marriage for him. Siddhartha then had a child.④ Later he had a few excursions to the outside world and discovered the real human condition that all the people were suffering from birth, illness, senility, death and other miseries. To look for an ultimate solution to human sufferings, he left home at the age of 29 and began his ascetic life.⑤For six years between the age of 29 and 35 he was living in austerity in mountain forests. Finally, when he was 35, he found the answer and obtained Buddhahood.⑥ He spent the rest of his life opening up his religion and teaching his philosophy. He died at the age of 80.⑦ He is called by his followers “Sakyamuni”, meaning “the Sage of the Sakyas”SakyamThe main points of Medicine Buddha① Medicine Buddha is seated to the east of Sakyamuni Buddha in the center of the Grand Hall.② Medicine Buddha is the hierarch of the Eastern Bright World.③ He is so reputedly called Medicine Buddha because he made and fulfilled some vows relating to the healing of physical diseases and mental sufferings.④ He has a wheel of dharma in his hand, which denotes that he keeps on educating people and converting them to Buddhism just like the turning wheel that never stops.The main points of Amitabha Buddha1. Amitabha Buddha is enshrined to the west of Sakyamuni in the Grand Hall.2. As “the Buddha of Limitless Light”and “the Buddha of Limitless Life”, Amitabha is in charge of the “Western Paradise”and guides Buddhist believers to go there with the lotus in his hands.3. Amitabha is the chief Buddha of Jin Tu Sect, one of the largest in Chinese Buddhism.4. Amitabha enjoys the nationwide popularity for his infinite merit in expounding the Buddhist dharma and his name is uttered or heard everywhere.The twenty Heavenly Gods①The twenty Heavenly Gods are standing on two sides of the Grand Hall, listening attentively to the preaching Buddha seated in the center of the hall.② They were originally the deities in Indian legends and adopted in Buddhism astutelary gods to protect the Buddhist dharma.③ The story of the Goddess of Loving Children serves as an example that how the Heavenly Gods were converted by Sakyamuni to became the Buddhist protectors. Ritual objects inside and outside the Grand HallOutside the Grand Hall:① A giant incense burner in front of the Grand Hall, which is donated by some lay Buddhists in 1922 for the reopening of the temple, and now is looked upon as a treasure; so worshippers would not burn incense at it.② A pair of stone steles erected before the Grand Hall, on top of which Buddhist monks and believers serve rice every day for birds or hungry spirits of the dead. Inside the Grand Hall:③ Prayer mats placed in rows on the ground in front of the Buddhas.④ Offering altars put before the Buddhas for the display of offerings.⑤ The hollow wooden fish used as a musical instrument in Buddhist prayers.⑥ A giant bronze bell on the eastern side of the hall, which is struck every day to gather monks to say their prayers in the Grand Hall.⑦ A giant drum on the western side, which is used to congregate monks and Buddhist believers on big festivals or for important services.The Mural Sculpture of “Guan Yin on the South Sea”1. At rear of the Grand Hall is a huge mural sculpture called “Guan Yin on the South Sea,”with Bodhisattva Guan Yin standing high in the center and flanked by his two acolytes, Shan Cai, the boy and Long Nu, the girl.2. Bodhisattva Guan Yin is a Buddha already but remains a Bodhisattva to assist the Buddha. He is said to have the compassion of all Buddhas and known as “Goddess of Mercy”because he often appears as female incarnations rather than male in the salvation of people.3. The literal translation of “Guan Yin”is “observing voices”, which means the Bodhisattva is always ready to give a hand whenever he hears a cry of suffering from people. So, if people in need call “Guan Yin,”the Bodhisattva will come to their rescue in time.4. Bodhisattva Guan Yin is very popular in China and his image is enshrined everywhere. Mount Putuo is believed to be the sanctuary for him to perform the Buddhist rites, so it becomes one of most famous Buddhist Holy Mountains in China.5. The stories of Shan Cai and Long Nu illustrate the two disciplines of Mahayana Buddhism practised in China with the former depicting gradual enlightenment and the latter being the portrayal of sudden enlightenment.The story about Shan Cai’s “Worship of 53 Masters”① Shan Cai became a devotee to Buddhism when he was a boy.② Illuminated by Bodhisattva Manjusri, he went on a pilgrimage and called on 53 masters to ask for a way to Buddhahood.③ Bodhisattva Manjusri was his first master, Bodhisattva Guan Yin, his 27th master, and Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, his last. Finally he obtained correct wisdom and became a Buddha.④ The story about Shan Cai’s “Worship of 53 Masters”explains the gradual enlightenment in the practice of Buddhism.The eighteen ArhatsThe eighteen Arhats are Sakyamuni’s closest disciples.They were asked by Sakyamuni to stay permanently in the human world to popularize Buddhism.Arhats have three traits. Firstly, they are immortal since they have already entered nirvana. Secondly, they are free from any vexation of greed, anger, and stupidity. And thirdly, they live on offerings from human society.An Arhat is the one who has obtained the highest level of enlightenment in his cultivation of Hinayana Buddhism.Jade Buddha ChamberThe “Three Monastic Treasures” for Jade Buddha Temple① The “Three Monastic Treasures” refer to Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist monks, which are regarded as the indispensable elements for establishment of a Buddhist temple.② Jade Buddha Temple is home to 120 monks, which makes the temple the largest in Shanghai.③ Jade Buddha Temple has its unique treasures for the rest. One is the extraordinary sitting jade Buddha statue, the special legacy of the first abbot Hui Gen of the temple, and the other is Da Zang Sutra known as the “Dragon Tripitaka”, a block-printed work accomplished in the Qing Imperial Court in 1870. Both are kept in the Jade Buddha Chamber.The sitting jade Buddha statueAs a precious Buddhist relic，the sitting jade Buddha statue is a masterpiece of art in every sense.Hui Gen, the first abbot of Jade Buddha Temple, had it carved in Myanmar with donations from local overseas Chinese, and brought it to Shanghai in 1882. It is now enshrined in the Jade Buddha Chamber.In the image of “dhyana”, it is the posture seen at the moment when Sakyamuni attained the enlightenment.With the subtle smile on his face, Sakyamuni looks sedate and amiable, the beauty of which can be compared to the enigmatic Mona Lisa’s.The statue is 1.95 meters tall and 1.34 meters wide, and it was carved out of a single piece of pure Burmese jade with superb craftsmanship.The precious jewelry on the statue was donated by the devoted Buddhist laymen.It is the most valuable legacy of the temple, whose name is made after it.The Da Zang SutraDa Zang Sutra is a block-printed work accomplished in the Qing Imperial Court in 1870, so it is also known as the “Dragon Tripitaka”.There are over 7000 (7,168) volumes in it, taking up almost all the bookcases placed along the side walls of the Jade Buddha Chamber.Regarded as a Buddhist encyclopedia, Da Zang Sutra is a collection of Buddhist scriptures including Buddhist doctrines, Buddhist disciplines and the interpretations on those doctrines and disciplines.It is one of precious Buddhist relics kept in Jade Buddha Chamber, so the chamber is also called the “Tripitaka Library.”The abbot's room①It was the abode where the previous abbots used to work and live.②It is a reception room of the temple for important visiting guests and Buddhist delegations.③It is also a public preaching auditorium where the present abbot gives sermon to Buddhist laity.④The temple offers weekly Buddhist lectures to the public.Main Points about Chan Buddhism① Chan Buddhism is one of the largest and the most influential sects of Mahayana Buddhism in China.② The founder of Chan Buddhism is Dharma, an Indian monk who came to China in the early 6th century.③ Later, Chan Buddhism branched out into Japan and Korea, and in Japan it is pronounced as “Zen.”④ Jade Buddha Temple is a temple for Chan Buddhism, so it is called “Jade Buddha Chan Temple.”⑤ Chan is a transliteration of the Sanskrit term “dhyana”, meaning deep meditation.⑥ Meditation is considered to be central to Buddhism, so the practice of meditation is carriedHall of the Reclining Buddhathe small reclining Buddha①In the Hall of the Reclining Buddha, there are two statues of reclining Buddha, the bigger one made of nephrite, and the smaller of jade.②The small reclining Buddha is a 96-centimeter sculpture out of one piece of Burmese jade. It is one of the valuable legacies of Abbot Hui Gen, the founder of the temple, who had 5 jade Buddha statues carved in Myanmar with donations from the overseas Chinese and brought them to Shanghai in 1882.③The reclining Buddha is about Sakyamuni on his deathbed or entering nirvana in terms of Buddhism. The Buddha lies on his right side with a gentle smile on his face, the posture known as “the auspicious repose”.④It is said that before Sakyamuni breathed his last, he had conducted his last sermon, telling his disciples to follow the dharma, cultivate themselves, and help others.⑤According to Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni devoted himself to the preaching of Buddhism after he himself achieved enlightenment. He traveled widely converting people to Buddhism until the end of his life at the age of 80.The Big Reclining BuddhaThe big reclining Buddha is the same image of achieving nirvana as the small one. It was donated by Singaporeams and brought from Singapore in 1989 by the late Master Zhen Chan, the tenth abbot of the temple. This statue of reclining Buddha is a considerably larger nephrite sculpture, four meters in length and four tons in weight. The Wooden Fish1. There is a noticeable wooden fish planted in the midst of the prayer mats before the Buddhas in the Grand Hall.2. It is hollow and used as a percussion instrument in Buddhist prayers. It is struck to accompany the monks' chanting of Buddhist scriptures and to keep the chanters awake as well.3. Monks think that the fish is the most assiduous and untiring creature in the world, since the fish keeps swimming day and night and never goes to sleep, so Buddhists are advised to practise Buddhism unremittingly in their lifetime.The significance of a lotus blossom in Buddhism① Lotus is considered by Buddhists the purest flower on earth, referring to the purity of the Buddhist world.② Lotus grows in soil but remains unsoiled in blossom, which suggests the process of getting enlightenment in Buddhist practice.③ In the Grand Hall, the three primary Buddhas are all seated on lotus thrones. Amitabha Buddha holds a lotus flower in his hand.④ The lotus patterns are seen here and there in Jade Buddha Temple. A pair of erect stone steles in front of the Grand Hall is topped with lotus sculpture.⑤ In all, the Buddhist world is as good as the lotus world.。
