四川乐山大佛英语导游词

　　Hello, everybody!

　　Welcome to visit Leshan Giant Buddha. I am your tour guide. You can call me little. Before entering the scenic area, I would like to remind you that you must pay attention to safety when visiting. Our tour route is: from this mountain road, we visit Lingbao pagoda, Er Ya Tai, Hai Shi hall, Lingyun temple, Great Buddha, Lingyun trestle Road, mahaya tomb, Wu You temple and Oriental Buddha about 2.5 hours. Then we will go back to the next station, Mount Emei.

　　Leshan Giant Buddha was built in the first year of the Tang Xuanzong yuan, that is, ad 713, completed in the 19 years of Tang Zhen Yuan, that is, ad 803. It was completed in a total of 90 years. It has been 1200 time ago. You see, it sits on the cliff, the top of the mountain, and the foot of the river. No wonder some people sigh, "the mountain is a Buddha, the Buddha is a mountain." The mountain Buddha is 71 meters tall, with a head diameter of 10 meters, a shoulder width of 24 meters, a height of 28 meters from the knees to the instep, and 1021 ridges on the head. This shows the "big" of Leshan Giant Buddha. The largest stone carving Maitreya Buddha in the world was published in 1982 by the State Council as the national key cultural relic protection unit. In 1996, in Mount Emei, the UNESCO was listed in the world natural and cultural heritage list by UNESCO.

　　Now lets take a look at the rocks on both sides of the Buddha. This is red sandstone, which is loose in texture and easy to weathering. Leshan Giant Buddha is carved out of this kind of rock. But why did the Buddha survive for more than 1200 years and still stand on the riverside? Allow me to give you a brief introduction: lets take a look at the location of the Buddha. Leshan Giant Buddha is located on the shady slope of the west of Lingyun mountain. It is hidden in the mountain, with the great Buddhas as a very dense forest, and the relative stability of the address structure, which effectively reduces the erosion of wind and rain and the scour of water, so that the weathering phenomenon of the Great Buddha is relatively slow. In addition, the Great Buddha also has a very ingenious drainage system. In the fourth, ninth, eighteenth floor of the Great Buddhas bun, each has a drainage to the folds of the dresses of the Buddha, forming a complete set of drainage networks. It can be seen that the design of Leshan Giant Buddha is very scientific. This shows that Leshan Giant Buddha is actually the crystallization of life and wisdom of the ancient working people.

　　How did you feel about seeing the Buddha now? Do you think the Buddha in front is more magnificent than imagined? By the way, I am going to tell you about the religious connotation of the Buddha. Leshan Giant Buddha is the fine art of the cliff sculptures in the Tang Dynasty. It is the largest stone inscription in Maitreya in the world. But why do we need to build a Maitreya Buddha here? With this problem, lets start with the builder of the Buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is located in the Dadu River, the Qing Yi River, the Minjiang River and the Sanjiang. In ancient times, the water potential was very turbulent, and the ship destroyed the death of the river. At that time, there was a Haitong monk on Mount Lingyun. He saw these tragedies and decided to build a great Buddha to keep the water here. He took ten years to raise the cost of the old Buddha. In order to protect these expenses, he even dug his eyes with his own hands. After the Great Buddha was built, the Haitong monk became a monk. The everlasting monument in the history of the Great Buddha. But the reason why we should build the Maitreya Buddha is closely related to the worship of Maitreya Buddha in the Tang Dynasty. According to the Buddhist doctrine, the Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha in the third Buddha. He symbolizes the light and happiness of the future world, so the people of the time naturally longed for the Maitreya Buddha and could come to the world as soon as possible.

　　In the period of the Zhou Wu period, a generation of Queen Wu Zetian, once ordered, wrote a "big cloud" to prove that she was a Maitreya Buddha, and at the same time, she also ascended the throne in the worship of the people of Maitreya. The Leshan Giant Buddha was built more than 20 years after the end of the Wu Zetian regime, so when Haitong monk dug Buddha statues, he chose Maitreya Buddha.

　　Leshan Giant Buddha, as the Buddha of Zhenjiang, has to fight floods. After the completion of the Buddha, the accidents on the river really reduced a lot. So people say that the Buddha appears, but this is only speculation. But do you know the reasons for it? Ill do it for everyone. When the Great Buddha was built, the project was huge, which was not doubted, and the discarded stones were all thrown into the river, which was too high in the river bed, slowing the flow of the river and reducing the danger of the ship. In addition, the construction of the Buddha is like a navigation mark, which enables the boatman on the river to have more confidence in sailing, and believes that he can conquer nature.
