Buddha
Buddha is not an official title, but a kind of inscription. The teaching is that the Buddha sees the immeasurable future from afar with the eyes of heaven without hindrance, and knows that a certain disciple should incarnate a number of sentient beings in a certain world, and when he becomes a Buddha, his name is so-and-so Buddha, and how long he will live in this world. Then give the disciple in front of you a note, how many disasters you will have in the future, in what world, how long you will become a Buddha, how long you will live in this world, and so on.
According to Buddhist texts, Buddha Shakyamuni was the prince of the Kapilavagyi King, named Gautama Siddhartha. Lady Maya, the mother of the Buddha, was born seven days after the birth of the Buddha. Later, Siddhartha renounced his position as a prince and became a monk, and after six years of ascetic enlightenment, he finally became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. After the Buddha became enlightened, at the request of the Emperor Shi Tian, he ascended to the Heavenly Palace to give a lecture on the Dharma to Lady Maya. At this time, King Youcheng thought of the Buddha, so he ordered the craftsmen to carve a standing statue of Shakyamuni Buddha from the bull's head sandalwood, which is also the earliest Buddhist statue in the world. After the Buddha returned to the human world from the Heavens of Bliss, the statue of The Buddha ascended into the air to pay homage to the Buddha, and the Buddha received a memorial for his summit and predicted that after a thousand years of his death, the statue would come to China for the benefit of all sentient beings. In the early days, most of the statues of Buddha were made of wood, and later the same form of Buddha statues made of different materials were called Buddha statues of Buddha. All such statues are knotted with the right hand fearless seal, the left hand knot and the wish seal, wearing a shoulder-length robe, and the clothing pattern is water-wavy on the front of the body, which has typical statue characteristics.

"The rain of the river and the grass of the river are qi, and the six dynasties are like dreams and birds crying in the air; the most ruthless is the Taicheng willow, and the smoke cage is still ten mile embankment." "The Dragon Light Temple under the Zhoushan Mountain, the Five Dragon Hall on the shore of Xuanwu Lake; I want to see the place where I traveled in the old days, the smoke and clouds are vague and the water is vast."

In the early winter of 1942, the Japanese invaders dug up a stone letter at the site of the Sanzang Pagoda of Dabao'en Temple in Yuhuatai, which enshrined the parietal bone relics of Master Xuanzang and recorded the tang dynasty monk Xuanzang's parietal bone relics to Nanjing for burial. The Japanese army vainly wanted to take it for itself, and under the protest of the people of Nanjing, the Japanese army returned part of the parietal relics of Master Xuanzang to the people of Nanjing. At the beginning of 1943, the Wang puppet government built a brick pagoda on Mount Jiuhua to enshrine the parietal relics of Master Xuanzang, named Sanzang Pagoda.
