Is it possible to see the wonderful mysterious light when visiting Qixia Mountain in Nanjing today?

Reproduce the wonderful and mysterious light

Since June 22, 2009, the legendary "wonderful mysterious light" first appeared in the three temples of Qianfoyan in Qixia Mountain, and the mysterious light of the three temples of Qixia Mountain will arrive as scheduled every year. The three temples in Thousand Buddha Rock have always been the most magical, emitting wonderful mysterious light.

According to the staff of the scenic spot, on the afternoon of June 5438+065438+1October 2 1, many tourists had gathered in the square in front of the three temples, apparently waiting for this wonderful phenomenon to appear. Although it was cloudy and sunny, in the afternoon, the sun came out. 15 around three o'clock, with the screams from the crowd, everyone's eyes were on. I saw a slender light spot on the right cheek of the face of the infinite life Buddha. With the passage of time, the light spot moves up gradually, and the shape, size and brightness of the light spot are constantly changing. At about 3: 40, the light spot reaches the center of Buddha's eyebrows, and colorful light is reflected by the beads in the center of Buddha's eyebrows. At this time, the tourists burst into exclamation. At about 3: 45, the light spot suddenly disappeared, and the whole process lasted for nearly half an hour.

According to reports, the Third Temple of Qixia Mountain is a national key cultural relics protection unit. In the four to five days from165438+1October 22nd every year, as long as the weather is fine and the light is sufficient, three or four days from165438+1October 22nd is the best time to see the mysterious light, because from this day on, the mysterious light will eventually move to infinity. But in these days, the trajectory, size, shape and duration of the mysterious light will be slightly different.

This strange phenomenon in Buddhism is called "white hair shines", which has been recorded in history books. According to the Records of Shangjiang County, Tongzhi County, the infinite-lived Buddha in the three temples of Qianfoyan "shines brilliantly with pearls on the top", but unfortunately it fell off and was taken away by the authorities at that time in the Song Dynasty, and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since. It can be seen that the "wonderful and mysterious light" of the three temples in Qixia Mountain has long been recorded in history.
