The Great Fawang Temple in Songshan, Henan Province, is now a thousand-year-old "flesh Buddha statue". Why does it attract a large number of Japanese to pay homage?

The Great Fawang Temple in Songshan, Henan Province, is now a thousand-year-old "flesh Buddha statue". Japanese believers seem to be more interested in this matter. Why does the flesh Buddha attract a large number of Japanese to pay homage? Let's give you a detailed analysis:

First, the Japanese inherited a lot of China culture and advocated Buddhism:

It has been recorded in the history books of our country for a long time. Since Qin Shihuang, the Japanese have been to China. Only at that time, the Japanese were far behind, so China people just regarded them as vassals. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism had a great development in China, which was the most prosperous in the history of China! At this time, the Japanese often sent envoys to China, and slowly Buddhism returned to Japan. From then on, the Japanese began to believe in Buddhism, and it has not changed until now. Japanese Buddhism has a wide range of beliefs.

Second, Japanese Buddhism is more fanatical:

When studying China culture, the Japanese didn't learn it thoroughly, so they developed a part of China culture to the extreme, including Buddhism. The Japanese are very enthusiastic about Buddhism. They can do anything for their beliefs. Now temples in Japan are full of incense. It's just that the Japanese don't have the history of China and can't see the flesh Buddha statue, so they will come to China to pay homage!

Third, Buddhism is that spiritual pillar of the Japanese:

There are many dark places in Japanese culture. For example, the Japanese advocate death, so many people commit suicide after failing to do something. In this case, Buddhism has become the spiritual pillar of the Japanese. Because Buddhism can make the Japanese more peaceful, and because of this, Japanese people will be attracted by the flesh Buddha statue in China.
