The origin of Big Wild Goose Pagoda:

Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of Datang" recorded the legend that he heard in India that monks buried the Wild Goose Pagoda, and explained the most credible theory of the origin of the Wild Goose Pagoda. "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" (Volume 9): There is a wild goose pagoda in the mountains of Indra House in Maha. It is said that the wild goose is a believer in Hinayana and wants to be enlightened. Perhaps this record is the origin of the name of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. According to legend, a long time ago, monks in a temple in Mojeto (now southern Bihar, India) believed in Hinayana Buddhism and could eat three meats.

One day, a flock of geese were flying in the air. A monk saw the goose and casually said, "Now everyone has nothing to eat. Bodhisattva should know that we are hungry! " As he spoke, a wild goose landed in front of the monk and died. He told all the monks in the temple with surprise that the Tathagata was educating them. So in the place where the wild goose fell, it was buried with a grand ceremony, and the tower was named the Wild Goose Pagoda.

Xuanzang visited the Wild Goose Pagoda while studying in India from 629 to 645. After returning to China, in order to store the Buddhist scriptures brought back from India during the translation of the scriptures in Ji 'an Temple, a brick tower imitating the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in India was built in the west courtyard of Ji 'an Temple in 652, called the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This name continues to this day. The origin of the name of the pagoda is this: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built by Xuanzang after imitating the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in India, so the original name of the Indian Pagoda was adopted. The word "Da" in front of the tower stands for Mahayana Buddhism.
