Extension extension

Wutai Mountain, the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, has both splendid natural scenery and rich cultural connotations. Wutai Mountain is the first batch of national scenic spots announced by the State Council, and it is also the first of the top ten tourist attractions in Shanxi Province.

Wutai Mountain is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, so the main halls of many temples here are dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva. Manjusri Bodhisattva is Sakyamuni's left attendant, and the mount is a green lion, which indicates wisdom and ferocity. There are many stories about his origin. The story circulating in the Classic is that he was born in a Brahmin family in Tai Wei, and because of his kindness, he became a big disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha and helped the Buddha realize all beings. Among the great bodhisattvas, wisdom and eloquence are the first, so they specialize in Buddhist wisdom and are known as "great wisdom and manjusri".
