In Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there have been many spiritual theories of the stone statues of Weiwei Buddha floating from the sea or gushing out of the ground, which shows that Weiwei Buddha is deeply respected by folk beliefs. According to Jiatai's Huijizhi, Shaoxing Tianyi Temple once unearthed the golden bronze Weiwei Buddha of the time of Emperor Liangwu, and the Yunmen Temple also unearthed a Weiwei Buddha; neighboring Ningbo also had Weiwei Pagoda, Weiwei Buddha statues, and even Weiwei Buddha Hall. Unfortunately, none of them have been preserved, but the Shaoxing Museum still preserves a stone statue of weiwei Buddha in the southern dynasty, as well as many magical stories about the apparition of Weiwei Buddha circulating in the land of Siming.

Statue of the Southern Qi Weiwei Buddha (488)
The stone Buddha can survive to this day, naturally it is through the waves of disaster and danger. The stone statue of Weiwei Buddha made in the sixth year (488) of Southern Qi Yongming is said to have been enshrined in the Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou, and then floated to the sea; Tang Dahe 9th year (835) has appeared in the Nanchong Temple outside the East Wuyun Gate of Shaoxing City, when Tang Wuzong Li Yan launched the "Huichang Annihilation of Buddha" movement (840-846), the NanchongSi Temple was abandoned, the stone Buddha did not know where to go; in the five generations after the Jin Tianfu period (936-943), a monk named Xingqin obtained the stone Buddha in the pool in front of the original Nanchongsi Temple. The abandoned Nanchong Temple was rebuilt to house the Stone Buddha, which was given the name Stone Buddha Miaoxiang Temple in the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1066), and the Stone Buddha was still in Miaoxiang Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was a famous ancient temple in Yuezhong until the decline of the temple at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the Xinhai Revolution, the famous rural scholars Xu Diyuan and Yuan Mengbai moved the stone Buddha to the Jiezhu Temple in the city; in the winter of 1916, the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang's troops entered the city, and in the Tunbing Jiezhu Temple, people were worried that the stone Buddha would be destroyed, and hurriedly relocated it to the then county chamber of commerce for storage, during which some Japanese learned that the stone Buddha was a rare treasure and wanted to buy it back to Japan for 120,000 silver dollars, which was rejected by people from all walks of life; in 1924, The Prince of Xiangkun welcomed the stone Buddha to the Kaiyuan Temple, raised funds to ask the abbot Huagao to build a temple to enshrine the stone Buddha and build a shrine for protection In 1941, the Japanese army invaded Shaoxing, the Kaiyuan Temple as a puppet army barracks, the Japanese leader Beidao probed the information of the stone Buddha, sent troops to demolish the shrine, stole the stone Buddha, hid it in the pseudo-maintenance association, and prepared to transport it away, fortunately after the victory of the War of Resistance, the stone Buddha was finally saved and returned to the Jiezhu Temple, and soon moved to Longhua Temple. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, xiangxian Wang Zhaofu handed over the stone Buddha to the Shaoxing Municipal Cultural Relics Management Committee, and in 1961 it was officially collected and protected by the cultural relics management department; today, this statue of Weiwei Zun Buddha has become the treasure of the Shaoxing Museum.

Ningbo, which is close to the landscape of Shaoxing, has many legends related to Weiwei Buddha in history, and volume 41 of the Ningbo Fuzhi records a story with grotesque colors.
Baoyun Temple on the latest Ningbo City Box Map (1914 New Society Seal).
The mute woman, who knows no details about her clan, does not know who it is. Xi Ningzhong (1068-1077) is found in the Yin Zhi Xiang Temple, Wan Jiao Jiao, Nian Ruo and Zhen, dumb and unspeakable. But he holds his own broom, hangs his arms and feet, eats lunch in the morning, and eats the rest of the food every time he picks up vegetables, and people think that they are upside down. Successive people, knowing the auspiciousness, thought it was happy. Liz Zhou yi learned to lift the child's business, the woman repeatedly came to his home, and the eons knew that it was very special, and then it would be extended to vegetables and rice. One day, at the end of the day, and the eclipse, suddenly a book was written on the wall: "The Fire House of the Three Realms, all the sufferings are prepared, and all the people of Ru ask to leave early." "After making another eons, the value of the eons will be lifted, and the woman laughs incessantly." Doubtful, he repeatedly tapped on it, so he wrote a long and short sentence cloud: "The storm has not stopped, and the false name and floating profit will not be beneficial in the end." It is better to go to the cloak early. Lying high in smoke, it is difficult to reach through the ages. Now that the king has already acted in a magnificent way, he must be inscribed with the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda. If he arrives at Nanxiongyi in his old age, the jade stone will rest, and he will be tired and weeping. "Attack and hide." One day, under the Ming Ridge in the town of Lu, or hao yi yi, he returned to the temple and sat down for a long time, when the third day of March was also. The coffin is a coffin, a willow pavilion of fistula. After seeing the female Yu Jingshi, she asked her, no. Return to its fistula, then the coffin is empty. [1] In the fourth year of Zhenghe (1114), Zhou Yiguo, like a mute prophecy, went to serve as the prefect of Nanxiong in Guangdong. Zhou Zainanxiong regarded the people as sons and had many political achievements, but he was persecuted for being guilty of side affairs, fulfilling the dumb woman's foreword of "jade rest, vain bian and weeping".
Another time, the stove in the temple had no firewood for burning, and the mute woman put her feet into the stove as firewood in a hurry, only to see her feet crackled, and the fire in the stove was burning more and more vigorously. When the thing was burned, the mute woman pulled out her foot, and when the others looked at it, they didn't burn at all. Since then, Ningbo has had an old saying that has been passed down to this day - "there is firewood to burn firewood, and firewood is used to burn foot stems".

In Guangdong, there is a special bronze cast Buddha statue shop. One evening, a woman walked in carrying a large bag of copper, said with her hands that she was going to cast a bronze Buddha, and wrote the words "sent to the Jiexiang Temple in the mingzhou capital of Eastern Zhejiang province for worship", and then left. The shopkeeper put the heavy copper material on the table, closed the door and went home. When I opened the door the next morning, I found that the copper on the table had actually turned into a copper Buddha, and the Buddha's appearance was exactly the same as the woman who delivered the copper. The shopkeeper was amazed and hurriedly sent the bronze Buddha to the Mingzhou Jiexiang Temple according to the address written by the woman. This side of the temple is also preparing to cast a bronze statue for the mute woman.

Who is this mysterious mute girl?
At that time, a Ningbo man named Wei Kai met a Taoist monk named Li Shining in the Luoyang Hotel, and the Taoist priest said to him: "The mute girl in Mr. Wei's hometown is Wei Wei Buddha, if you return to your hometown, you can pray." When Wei Kai returned to his hometown and visited the Jiexiang Temple in the south of the city, Fang knew that the mute girl had long been buried, and he hated it for not being able to see it, so he had to burn incense to worship her portrait.
The next year, Wei Kai went to Hangzhou, living in the home of the scribe Chen Shi, saw dozens of children surrounded by a little nun arriving, the entrance was in an uproar, just said "dumb and dumb", Wei Kai was surprised and dazed, the nun made a gesture to Wei Kai to ask for paper and pen and wrote: "The earth mountains and rivers are Ah who is, there is no way to think." At night, everywhere you hear the bells and drums, knocking on the skeleton people do not know. The three words "no coming and going" fell.
The Diamond Sutra says, "If you come, you have nowhere to come, and you have nowhere to go," and so do the mute women. Wei Kai then told her about the Luoyang Daoist and Jiexiang Temple's visit to the statue. The mute woman also wrote: "On Mount Meru, there is a dowriter, and the bell rings at the bottom of the ocean." If you ask the dumb woman's surname, this is only the real name. "After writing it, I went out and left. Wei Kai asked the children, "Who is the mute girl?" Answered, "Viviva Buddha." Then he asked, "Who are you waiting for?" Answered, "Go and ask the mute." "In the blink of an eye. [2]
After a series of legendary stories, the people of Ningbo recognized the Jiexiang Temple as the treasure land of Weiwei Buddha. And these seemingly absurd magical stories are also recorded in detail in the Yongshang Xiangbang literature "Four Ming Tansuke" volume 22 and volume 30.

The temple no longer exists. According to the Siming Tansuke Jiexiang'an, it is located in the "southeast of the county." The old temple was built in Zhuhufang, tang dazhong (847-860), named 'White Sandalwood'. In the first year of the Song Dynasty (1008), he gave the 'Jiexiang Temple' forehead. In The XiningJian (1068-1077), there is a saying that Wei Wei Buddha is now a mute woman, casting a bronze statue. The temple was abandoned at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. [3]: In the thirteenth year of 735 Hongzhi (1500), Baoyun Temple was relocated to the site of Jiexiang Temple, "Abbot Ruzhang built a new temple, abbot, and mountain gate,...... In the thirty-fourth year of the Wanli Calendar (1606), the abbot Xingmei built the Weiwei Buddha Hall and Hou Yuan. ...... It was rebuilt in the Shunzhi Decade (1653). 3:733 "Declaration" On August 6, 1879, there was a report in "Ning County Deyu", "Because it has not rained for a long time in Ning County, Zong Taishou set up an altar on the twelfth day to sincerely pray, and went to Baoyun Temple to respectfully invite Wei Wei Buddha to make offerings inside the altar." The next morning, there was a heavy rain..."[4]
Baoyun Temple Main Hall: Weiwei Dojo (Cultural Historical Sites of China)
According to the famous Japanese architectural historian Sasashi Sekino and the expert on the history of Chinese Buddhism and ancient architecture, Tokiwa Daisei, in "Traces of The Cultural History of Indochina" (Fazang Province, Japan, published in 1941), "Baoyun Temple ... The Hall of the Heavenly King hangs the list of 'Baoyun Temple', and the Daxiong Hall has the title of 'Weiwei Buddha Hall'. [5] In the photo attached to the book, "Figure 90-2 Baoyun Temple and Main Hall", the words "Weiwei Dojo" in the horizontal plaque above the gate are clearly recognizable, so the above quotation "Daxiong Hall has the title of 'Weiwei Buddha Hall'" may be a mistake of "Weiwei Buddha Hall has the title of 'Weiwei Dojo'", and the subsequent introduction to Daxiong Hall is also mistakenly written as Weiwei Buddha Hall.
In the "Map of Ning County Public Opinion" (library of Congress on November 30, 1938) and the "Latest Ningbo City Box Map" (published by the Heart Society in April 3013), the left side (or west side) of the Dongtang Temple is marked with Baoyun Temple; on the "Yin County City Box Map" (March 1936 edition), the left (west side) of the junction of Yunshi Lane and Shanshan Street is the Dongtang Temple, and there is a temple marker on the west side of the Dongtang Temple, although there is no inscription, but compared with the "Ning County Public Opinion Map" and the "Latest Ningbo City Box Map" Obviously, baoyun temple is undoubtedly the site of Jiexiang Temple on Yunshi Lane (between the current jinshuiloutai office building and Zhenming Central Primary School). In fact, Baoyun Temple "was preserved until the founding of New China, although most of the temple buildings have been reconstructed, but the Ming Dynasty pillar foundation stones and other architectural components are well preserved." ”[6]

Chiang Ching-kuo revealed in his diary: On April 16, 1949, the group set off from tiantong temple in the morning, first climbed the tomb of the Gurudwara Maha Zushi Pagoda on Xiaopanshan Mountain, and then went through Tiantong, Xiaobai, and other places to reach King Yu, entered the lunch, visited the temple, and climbed the Tibetan Jingge Guan Sanzang Books, "from Cheng'en Hall to board the car and talk about it, passing outside the south gate of Ningbo, and found the cemetery of the 'Muk-talking Monk' and its statue at Liuting'an, and they were very pleased. [7] The Liuting Nunnery visited by The Jiang father and son is the Liuting Where Zhou Yi buried the mute woman, and the tomb of the mute woman is the so-called Weiwei Taye in the literature.
According to ming qianwen's "Records of Liuting An Futian" written on August 15, 1616, "The temple began in the second year of Tang Tianfu (902) and belonged to the Jingqing Temple. The temple was created by Liu Zhijun, yu wu ci zhi you kan tai fu she house is puji temple is also, liu ting also made jun beiye changed to an temple. Lin Yuqing is quiet, and the monk Hongshao leads it. Shao wu was buried here, and the thirteen disciples that Shao had given were all gathered in their bones. At the beginning of the Kingdom (Ming Dynasty), those who had the purpose of speaking monks were raised by the great turtle for ten years, and they lived and sat down and were inseparable from the turtle, and their main monk was evil. One day, the master stayed and killed the turtle. The turtle night saw the dream: "My dragon species, left and right eyes can know astronomy and geography, and now it is over." Gu and the master have been together for a long time, there is no way to say goodbye, don't shed tears, the first division takes tears to paint the eyes, Tu Zuo can know astronomy, Tu Right can know geography. 'Already, the master wept at the turtle, and when he saw that the turtle had tears, he took the tears and smeared his eyes, and painted his right and left, and the master was able to discern the public opinion. ”3:1019-1021
Monks who speak of monks do not know the surname of the Li clan, or the obscure traces of the Yuanjinshi, who are proficient in geography and good manners, and are all strange for people to be buried. After his death, he was buried in Liuting'an, leaving several volumes of the geography book "Suo Yin", which was renamed "Shanyang Zhishu" and written in the world.
Ruins of Liuting'an (present-day Runjiang Park, the pavilion no longer exists)
According to the literature, "Liuting'an, the southern second mile of the county ... The famous water and land courtyard", "three sides away from the water, the left is Zhenglangyan Port, outside the Weir is the Yongjiang River; the right is the inspiration temple front port, behind the temple is the Nantang River; in front of Xuejia Mountain, there is a Hongqi Bridge outside the mountain, the water falls into the river; the back sits on the Houyang River, and the river is the South City. In line with the location characteristics of the former Xiaonanhai Flower Garden (now Runjiang Park) in Chenglang Community, Nanmen Street, Haishu District, before the completion of Xiaonanhai, it had successively been used as a "carton factory" [8] "Ningbo Paper Mill, Poultry Processing Factory Warehouse" [9]. In January 2003, the residents of the community designed and raised 30,000 yuan for three months to build a "willow pavilion" with plum garden stones on the open space on the riverside side of the Nantang River. On the stone pillar are engraved two paintings: "Qianzai Liuting Ancient Weir, Siming Buddha Land in Chenglang", "Willow leads the wind and waves up and down, Pavilion lianfang grass water west and east". He also leshi's "Liu Ting Xiao Ji" at the edge of the pavilion: "Liu Ting, originally founded in Tang, is now Chenglang Xiaonanhai to build holes." The Pavilion Bridge is adjacent to each other, on the west bank of the Litang River. Ximingzhou Chengnan Jiexiang Temple, Chuan Wei Wei Buddha is now a mute female body, knowing the past and the future, no disease and covering, Mu Liu Ting Nunnery. Its ruins are the site of the present-day pavilion. Sand and water meet, the forest is quiet, and the direction is a southern suburban resort. ”[10]
Unfortunately, due to the needs of the construction of the 220KV Chenglang substation project, the Xiaonanhai plot was requisitioned, and the "Liuting Pavilion" built for a few years and the "Liuting Xiaoji" Next to it were razed to the ground, and the last traces of Liuting'an disappeared with the completion of Runjiang Province.

The Cixi people Shi Yunxi (1285-1373) once wrote the "Biography of the Dumb Girl", saying, "The ancient name of Wuxiang is the Land of the Three Buddhas, the Three Buddhas, the Shakya Relic of the Yuwang, the Maitreya of the Cloth Bag of Yuelin, and the Guanyin of the Supplementary Tuo." Or is it called the Bodhisattva Ear, who thinks that he is a Buddha, and seems to be of no kind, and he is a mute woman who takes the vows of incense? Dumb woman, Vivi Buddha, take it and three, who can't? [11] The interpretation of the "Four Bright and Three Buddhas" by means of Weiwei Buddha (past Buddha), Shakyamuni Buddha (present Buddha), and Maitreya Buddha (future Buddha) probably began here.
Liuting Antu (Liuting Anzhi Ming Li Tong)
In the last year of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongjia Shouchang Temple, who lived next to the Jiexiang Temple (then Baoyun Temple), handed over the "Biography of the Dumb Girl" to Li Tong (1598-1646), on the basis of which Li Tong edited the "Liuting Anzhi", and Wei Kezhen, Lin Chongxiao, Li Kangxian, Shi Chengda, Lu Shike, Zhang Shiche, Shen Mingchen, Fan Qin, Yu Youding, Shen Yiguan, Tu Long and dozens of other prominent eunuchs wrote poems for him, and 99-year-old Zhang Taibai Gengxing wrote for him. [2] The Liuting Anzhi has left us with valuable literary and historical materials, especially the Liuting Antu and weiwei Buddha statues in the book.

In June 2009, the "Weiwei Ancient Buddhist Culture Research Association" in Haishu District, Ningbo City was established, and the president was concurrently appointed by the president of the District Buddhist Association and the Jingshu Master of the Guanjing Temple. The study was listed at Changchun An (recently demolished and rebuilt as part of Changchun Gate Cultural Park), facing the side of the nunnery gate facing Nanjiao Road and Xiangyang Bridge. It is a stone's throw away from the ruins of Liuting'an, along the same nantang river. The Institute is voluntarily formed by researchers of historical culture and religious culture, as well as cultural scholars and archaeologists, with the aim of protecting and promoting traditional culture and carrying out cultural research and services for the ancient Buddha.
Stone statue of a girl (excavated from the site of Chongjiao Temple)
From September to December 2010, the Ningbo Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted archaeological exploration and excavation of the site of Chongjiao Temple (the site of the former Yanyue Street Primary School), and excavated a statue of a plum garden stone boy in a Song Dynasty bone pond, about 30 centimeters high, looking like a girl, with a fat and rounded figure like a big Afu, a micro-side head, a comb and a double hanging ring bun, wearing a sleeveless chrysanthemum pattern jacket, a curly grass pattern streamer hanging from the neck, loose pants underneath, a bracelet on the wrist, hands folded, barefoot sitting on the lotus, the image is thick and solid. Combined with the description of the mute woman in the literature, the "Weiwei Buddha Statue" in the Liuting Anzhi, and the stone sculpture of the Southern Dynasty Weiwei Buddha in the Shaoxing Museum collection, it can be concluded that the stone statue of the boy is the Statue of weiwei Buddha (dumb girl). The statement that "the three Buddhas (WeiWei Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha) in the Chongjiao Temple, and Ming Xu Shijin and Fan Ruzhang wrote a note for them" [12] can confirm the above inference.

In order to protect and promote the ancient Buddhist culture of Weiwei, the relevant departments decided to rebuild the Weiwei Buddhist Hall in the Kanjing Temple.
Located at No. 26, Lane 129, Tangxi Road, Haishu District, kankei temple was originally built in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty (964) as the Mingfu Temple, and in the second year of Zhiping (1065) it was given "Puzhao", and in the first year of Ming Hongwu (1368), it was expanded and renamed Kanjing Temple. According to the account of Qing Jiang Xueyong's "Records of the Kanjing Temple", the Banzhou Gong, whose family lived on the bank of the Li River, heard that there was a meadow behind the Mingfu Temple, and the shepherd boy herded cattle here, and the cattle knelt and refused to come forward; Li Banzhou went to the scene to visit, listened to the sound of fish drums, and asked people to dig up and see a stone letter, and the Inner Lotus Sutra was annotated; because the mother of the Banzhou Gong believed in the Shi clan, he consulted with the abbot of the Mingfu Temple, master Sex Void, and single-handedly expanded the temple and changed its name.
Kanjing Temple underwent two major repairs in the first year of Ming Chenghua (1465) and Zhengde (1506-1521), and by the time it was rebuilt in the thirty-second year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1693), it was already a Buddhist dojo covering an area of about 12 acres, with buddhist statues and monks in the temple, and was destroyed by a fire five years later; the 39th year of Kangxi (1700) the restoration of the monks Honmei, Hengxiu, Biyun, Hui'an, etc.[13] In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), the Abbot of the Seven Pagoda Temple, The Elder Fasun Guide (1886-1947), After nearly twenty years of hard work, all the halls have been restored and added, and the scale is advanced and majestic. Kankeiji temple is known as the "Maitreya Pavilion", and the guide is revered as the ancestor of Kankeiji Zhongxing. [14]
Ancient camphor tree at the original site of the temple (2021.9.26)
After the founding of New China, the monks of the temple gradually dispersed, first as a military grain depot, stationed in the army; then changed to a local grain depot, and successively ran a calcium phosphide medicine factory, cement factory and malt factory, and finally sold to private owners, the temple Buddha statue monk's house has been completely destroyed, and only two ancient camphor trees in front of the mountain gate, two broad magnolias (four trees were listed by the Haishu District Government in 1995 as a second-class ancient tree for protection) and the Qing Dynasty Baoding Foot Hexagonal Stone Lion Base. [15] At the end of the twentieth century, some monks rebuilt the Kankei Temple at the site of the former Xinfu Temple on the east bank of the river about ten meters away from the original Kankei Temple: the main hall and the East and West Wing Rooms were built in 1998, and on April 28, 2000, they were approved as places of religious activities, in 2001 they added the Medicine Master Hall and the New Fu Hall, and in 2004 they added the Hall of the Heavenly King, the Hall of Jizo, the Hall of General Kang, and the New Inner Hall. [16]
Weiwei Buddha Hall (Kanjing Temple, September 20, 2021)
In 2015, the Weiwei Buddha Hall was officially completed, and after the Baoyun Temple in Ningbo's history, kanjing temple once again became a thousand-year-old famous temple that integrates the future Buddha Maitreya (Heavenly King Hall), the current Buddha Shakyamuni (Daxiong Treasure Hall) and the past Buddha Weiwei (Weiwei Buddha Hall) in one temple, which should be the only one in Ningbo and unique in the world.
Weiwei Buddha Hall is located behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Kanjing Temple, above the door of the hall is a cloud pattern gold plaque, resembling the "Weiwei Buddha Hall" of Master Hongyi's book, the four large black characters are written by the Jingshu Master himself, and there are two couplets on the stone pillars under the corridor. The two inner pillars are the "Four Ming and Three Buddhas, the First For Wei Wei Shi Zun, Hejing Ciyun Guang" written and sealed by the late Mr. Cao Houde" "Two Zhejiang ZhongjiaLan, rebuilding the ancient temple, and the Qunsheng Fa Yu Junxia"; the outer two pillars are Mr. Wang Jietang's personal letter "Reopening the Treasure Hall, Praying for the Sea to Fix Bo ning, Yong Shang Chang called the Three Buddhas Land" "Reshape the golden body, you adjust the wind and rain, and look up to the four tomorrows in the middle of the world".
Weiwei Buddha Statue (Kanjing Temple 2021.9.20)
Entering the main hall, looking up is the seated statue of WeiWei Buddha, with spiral hair beads, low flesh buns, wide forehead and plump face, kind eyebrows, wide and flat nose bridge, thin lips slightly open, ears and shoulders, thick neck, thick shoulders, plump body, dignified appearance, and pleasant demeanor; wearing a shoulder-length coat, a ringing bell in the right hand, a left hand on the knee, sitting on the top of the lotus throne on the back; there is a white mat between the eyebrows, and there is a large Buddha trumpet between the exposed chests, behind which is the body light of the flame pattern, and the inner circle of the wave pattern is evenly distributed with seven seated Buddhas. Standing on either side of the staff was naturally his first disciples, His Holiness Qian Di and His Holiness Tishe, but the author was lonely and unheard of, and he really couldn't tell who was who.
On the two pillars in front of the Buddha are couplets written and written by Mr. Cao Houde: "In front of the Buddha's throne, guansumi mountain head pendulum, miaoyi three empty treasure phases" "look at the scripture temple, listen to the bells at the bottom of the ocean, safe and secure golden body"; on the two pillars next to the door are Mr. Wang Jietang wrote a joint book: "One temple for three Buddhas, the Northern Song Dynasty name blue, the nine lotus blossoms" "Four Ming respect six harmony, oriental paradise, ten thousand family worlds Mu Ci Grace".
The lower parts of the walls on both sides of the main hall are decorated with 18 woodcut guardian figures of Feng Zikai (9 on each side), and 24 heavens (12 statues each) are placed on the waist plate; On the top is the Vajrapani Prajnaparamita Sutra (left) and the Medicine Master LiuliGuang Rulai Original Merit Sutra (right), written by the Jingshu Master with the fly head Xiao Kai, with a Guanyin treasure statue hanging in the window blank, on the left is the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Sending Son Diagram", and on the right is the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Treasure Picture", the author is Qu Bei.
Mute Woman Statue (Kankeiji Temple 2021.9.26)
Behind Wei Wei Buddha is a standing statue of Wei Wei Buddha appearing as a mute woman, with fleshy buns and conch hair on her head, a wide forehead and a plump face, a kind eyebrow, a wide and flat nose, thin lips, ears and shoulders, a thick neck, a wide shoulder, a plump body, and a pleasant demeanor; wearing a shoulder-length chest coat, wearing a skirt underneath, a broom in the right hand and a cross-waist, a proud image.
According to the clues provided by friends, I made two visits to the Kanjing Temple, although they were not on the normal opening days of the Weiwei Buddha Hall (the first and fifteenth day of each month), but they were warmly received, but the second time they did not meet the Pure Cultivation Master, there was no way to directly consult the reason for the internal arrangements of the Weiwei Buddha Hall, and later heard that the Master went to Singapore for further study, the temple is now fully entrusted to Ran Hui to take care of it, but there is no reason to meet, adding WeChat also has no response, and some questions can only wait until the coming of The Japanese Edge to do in-depth research.
