Putuo Mountain is a famous Guanyin Dojo in China. Its religious activities can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, from the primitive Taoism in the mountains to the remains of the immortal alchemy. In the first year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 847), a Brahma monk came to Yin Chao Cave to feel the incarnation of Guanyin. In order to tell the wonderful method, the spiritual trace began. In the fourth year of Xian Tong, Tang Xianzong (AD 863), Master Hua Hui, a Japanese monk, invited Guanyin to return home by boat from Wutai Mountain, and went to Lianhuayang, where he ran aground, thinking that Guanyin refused to cross eastward and left an icon to worship at the edge of Yin Chao Cave, so he refused to go to Guanyin. After several generations of construction, there are many temples. In its heyday, there were 3 temples, 88 temples, Mao Peng 128 and more than 4,000 monks in the whole mountain, which was called "the first Buddhist country in Sinian" in history. Every year on February 19, Guanyin's birthday, June 19, Guanyin Daoism Day, September 19, Guanyin's becoming a monk day, believers from all over the world gather in the Buddhist country, and Putuo Mountain is full of lights and cigarettes. Chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha, staying up all night, its grand occasion is breathtaking. Every time a Buddhist ceremony is held, it is auspicious, and believers pray for it, with repeated effects. Buddhist activities that have lasted for more than 1000 years have accumulated profound Buddhist culture in Putuo Mountain, a beautiful pure land in Zhong Ling. Master avalokitesvara is attached to the whole world. There is a saying: "Everyone is Amitabha, and every household is avalokitesvara". Guanyin belief is called "half Asian belief" by scholars.
