The Leshan Giant Buddha is located on Mount Lingyun in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, China, at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River. It is the largest stone-carved seated Buddha in the world, standing at a height of 71 meters. Construction began in the first year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (713 AD) and took approximately 90 years to complete, finishing in the 19th year of the Zhenyuan era (803 AD). The project was initiated by the monk Haitong, who made a vow to build the statue. Facing the Min River, the Buddha has a solemn expression, hands resting on his knees in a dignified seated posture. The intricate craftsmanship of the statue reflects the fusion of ancient artistry and deep religious devotion.
The Buddha’s head is level with the mountaintop, measuring 14.7 meters high and 10 meters wide, with 1,051 spiraled hair buns and ears 7 meters long. Carved into the cliffside, it sits majestically above the river with an awe-inspiring and dignified presence. Flanking the Buddha on the cliffs are two guardian king statues, each over 16 meters tall. On the right side of the Buddha lies the ancient “Nine-Bend Plank Road,” a winding stone path carved during the Tang Dynasty for both construction and worship purposes. Hugging the steep cliff, the trail is narrow, zigzagging, and breathtakingly steep.
The Leshan Giant Buddha stands as a monumental achievement of ancient Chinese craftsmanship and faith — a true marvel in the history of world culture. It is not only a vital symbol of Chinese Buddhist culture but also part of a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site, listed together with Mount Emei. It continues to attract countless visitors and pilgrims from around the world.
The origin of the Leshan Giant Buddha dates back to the Tang Dynasty and was initiated by a revered monk named Master Haitong. At that time, the confluence of the Min, Dadu, and Qingyi Rivers near Leshan was notorious for its turbulent waters, causing frequent shipwrecks and great suffering for local people.
Seeing the plight of the people, Master Haitong vowed to carve a giant statue of Maitreya Buddha into the cliff facing the river, believing that the Buddha’s divine presence would help calm the waters and protect travelers and locals.
To fund the project, he traveled widely to gather donations and famously declared, “I would rather gouge out my eyes than give up my vow,” demonstrating his unwavering determination. Construction began in 713 AD during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and continued for 90 years, finally completing in 803 AD.
Interestingly, the project had both spiritual and practical effects: the large amount of stone debris from the carving helped to reduce the water’s turbulence by altering the river’s current, thus making navigation safer — a true embodiment of faith bringing tangible benefit.
乐山大佛位于中国四川省乐山市岷江、青衣江、大渡河三江汇流处的凌云山上，是世界上最大的石刻坐佛，高达71米。始建于唐代开元元年（公元713年），历时约90年，于贞元十九年（公元803年）完工，由海通和尚发愿修建。大佛面朝岷江，神态庄严，双手抚膝，坐姿端稳，雕刻精美，是古代工艺与宗教信仰的结晶。
乐山大佛头与山齐，头高14.7米、宽10米，发髻1051个，耳长7米，依山凿成临江危坐，神势肃穆，大气磅礴。大佛左右两侧沿江的崖壁上，还有两尊身高超过16米的护法天王像。大佛右侧有一条九曲古栈道，是唐代开凿大佛时留下的施工和礼佛山道，沿绝壁开凿而成，曲折九转，奇陡无比。乐山大佛是中国古代劳动人民智慧的结晶，是世界文化史上的奇迹。
乐山大佛不仅是中国佛教文化的重要象征，也被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化与自然双重遗产（与峨眉山并列），吸引着海内外无数游客和朝圣者。
乐山大佛的修建起源于唐代一位名叫海通法师的高僧。当时，乐山所在的三江交汇处（岷江、大渡河、青衣江）水流湍急，常年水患频发，造成两岸百姓生活困苦、舟船沉没事故频繁。海通法师目睹众生疾苦，发愿建造一尊巨大的弥勒佛像，希望借佛力镇压水势，护佑一方平安。
传说他四处募捐筹资，誓言“宁舍眼、不舍愿”，以表达他坚不可摧的愿心。在克服重重困难后，大佛于唐玄宗开元元年（713年）正式开工，历时90年，直至贞元十九年（803年）才全部完成。由于佛像巨大，开凿过程中掉落的石料也逐渐填入江中，反而在物理上缓解了水流对航运的危害，可谓“因信生善，佛力显化”。
Mt Emei
峨眉山
Mount Emei, located in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China, alongside Mount Wutai, Mount Putuo, and Mount Jiuhua. Its highest peak, the Wanfo Summit, rises to 3,099 meters above sea level. Known for its breathtaking scenery and spiritual atmosphere, Mount Emei is a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site.
Buddhism was introduced to Mount Emei as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it later became the sacred site of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Puxian Pusa), attracting generations of devoted pilgrims. The mountain is home to numerous temples and monasteries, including Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Wannian Temple, and Huazang Temple at the Golden Summit (Jinding). Pilgrims often trek from the foot of the mountain to the summit to worship the grand statue of Samantabhadra and experience the union of Dharma and nature.
Mount Emei is also celebrated for its rich biodiversity, serving as a crucial ecological zone with many rare plant and animal species. It is not only a sacred site for Buddhist practice but also a destination for travelers seeking spiritual renewal and natural beauty.
峨眉山位于中国四川省乐山市境内，是中国佛教四大名山之一，与山西五台山、浙江普陀山、安徽九华山并列。峨眉山主峰万佛顶海拔3099米，是中国著名的自然与文化双重遗产地。这里山势峻峭，云雾缭绕，素有“峨眉天下秀”之美誉。
峨眉山自东汉时期起便成为佛教圣地，尤其是普贤菩萨的道场，因此信众众多，香火鼎盛。山中寺庙林立，著名寺院包括报国寺、伏虎寺、清音阁、万年寺、金顶华藏寺等。朝圣者可一路从山脚徒步至金顶，参拜普贤菩萨圣像，感受佛法庄严与自然壮美的交融。
此外，峨眉山自然生态极其丰富，是中国重要的生物多样性保护区，拥有大量珍稀动植物。这里既是佛教修行的圣地，也是不少人向往的旅游和养心之地。

都江堰：古代水利工程的奇迹
Dujiangyan, located in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, is the world’s oldest and only surviving no-dam irrigation system, originally built around 256 BCE during the Qin Dynasty by Li Bing and his son.
都江堰位于四川省都江堰市，是世界上最古老、也是现存唯一的无坝引水工程。它始建于公元前256年左右，由秦朝蜀郡太守李冰父子主持修建。
Ingeniously designed to control flooding, divert water, and irrigate farmland, it has allowed the Chengdu Plain to remain fertile for over two thousand years, earning the region the title of “Land of Abundance.”
这项工程巧妙地实现了分洪减灾、引水灌溉的功能，使成都平原两千多年水旱无忧、沃野千里，被誉为“天府之国”的根基。
Unlike conventional dams, Dujiangyan uses natural topography with components like the Fish Mouth Levee (Yuzui), Flying Sand Weir (Feishayan), and Bottle-Neck Channel (Baopingkou) to regulate water flow without obstructing the river.
与传统大坝不同，都江堰利用自然地形，通过鱼嘴分水堤、飞沙堰溢洪道和宝瓶口引水口等设计，实现了不筑坝而控水的智慧理念。
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, Dujiangyan stands as a testament to ancient Chinese ingenuity and sustainable engineering.

大足石刻位于中国重庆市大足区，是一组宏伟的宗教石刻艺术群。最早可追溯至唐代（公元7世纪），并在**宋代（9至13世纪）**达到鼎盛。
The carvings are remarkable for their artistic excellence, philosophical depth, and integration of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. More than 50,000 statues and 100,000 characters of inscriptions are distributed across over 75 sites. The most famous sites include Baodingshan (宝顶山), Beishan (北山), and Nanshan (南山).
大足石刻以其精湛的艺术造诣、深刻的哲理内涵以及佛、道、儒三教合一的特色著称。共有五万余尊石刻造像与十万余字的题记铭文，分布在七十多个遗址中，以宝顶山、北山、南山最为著名。
Unlike earlier cave carvings, these works are often carved on open rock faces, vividly portraying scenes from daily life, spiritual teachings, and moral lessons.
不同于早期的石窟艺术，大足石刻多雕刻于露天岩壁，内容丰富，生动再现了日常生活场景、宗教信仰与伦理教化。
In 1999, the Dazu Rock Carvings were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their exceptional cultural and artistic significance.

南无佛陀塔位于尼泊尔加德满都东南约40公里处的卡夫雷地区，是尼泊尔最神圣的佛教朝圣地之一。据传，这里是释迦牟尼佛前世以一位王子的身份，为救一只饥饿的母虎和幼崽而舍身布施的地方。
The site is marked by a beautiful white stupa on a hilltop, surrounded by prayer flags, lush forest, and panoramic views of the Himalayas. Nearby stands the Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, where monks continue the practice of the Buddha's teachings.
山顶上的白色佛塔庄严肃穆，四周飘扬着经幡，森林环绕，远眺可见喜马拉雅山的壮丽景色。塔旁是创古塔喜扬谢寺（Thrangu Tashi Yangtse），众多僧人在此修学佛法，弘扬慈悲智慧。
"Namo Buddha" means "Homage to the Buddha", and this sacred place serves as a powerful reminder of selfless compassion and the Bodhisattva path.
“南无佛陀”意为“顶礼佛陀”，此地象征着无我奉献与菩萨精神的真实体现，启发无数修行者走上觉悟之道。

About Niushoushan Cultural Park (牛首山文化园)
Niushou Mountain—known locally as Niushoushan (literally “Ox Head Mountain”) due to its twin peaks resembling ox horns—is a centuries-old Buddhist site located in Jiangning District, southern Nanjing. Though modernized as a tourist attraction from 2014 onward, its history as a sacred Buddhist site dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). A temple originally stood here, but was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion in the 1850s.
The palace has been the shrine for the world's only parietal relic of Buddha (the skull of Shakyamuni), making Niushoushan a sacred location for Buddhists. The relic was found in the Ashoka Pagoda in the underground palace of the Bao'en Temple in Qinhuai District, Nanjing.
牛首山，因其双峰形似牛角而得名，位于南京市江宁区，是一座历史悠久的佛教圣地。虽然在2014年后被现代化建设为旅游景点，但其佛教渊源可追溯至唐代（618–907年）。古代曾在此建有寺院，但在19世纪50年代太平天国时期被毁。
如今，牛首山因供奉 全世界唯一的佛顶骨舍利（释迦牟尼佛头顶骨舍利）而成为佛教徒心中的圣地。此舍利最初出土于南京秦淮区大报恩寺地宫的阿育王塔之中。
About Mount Putuo (普陀山)
Mt Putuo is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains of China, located on an island in the Zhoushan Archipelago of Zhejiang Province. It is especially dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara), the goddess of mercy and compassion.
The mountain is both a pilgrimage site and a scenic destination, known for its ancient temples, sea-facing shrines, sandy beaches, and lush hills. The three most important temples are Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, and Huiji Temple, each with deep historical and religious significance.
In addition to its religious importance, Mount Putuo is admired for its natural beauty, often described as a place where the sea, mountains, and Buddhist culture harmonize.
普陀山是中国佛教四大名山之一，位于浙江省舟山群岛中的一座海岛上。它是观音菩萨的道场，被誉为慈悲与怜悯的象征。这里既是重要的佛教朝圣地，也是著名的旅游胜地，以古老的寺院、临海的佛堂、细腻的沙滩以及郁郁葱葱的山峦而闻名。三大主要寺院——普济寺、法雨寺和慧济寺——都具有深厚的历史和宗教意义。除了宗教价值外，普陀山的自然风光同样令人赞叹，人们常说这里是“海天佛国”，海洋、山峦与佛教文化在此和谐交融。
About Guoqing Temple (国清寺)
Guoqing Temple is one of the most historically significant Buddhist temples in China. Guoqing Temple is the cradle of the Tiantai School (天台宗) of Chinese Buddhism, founded by Master Zhiyi (the manifestation of Shakyamuni Buddha in China). Guoqing Temple is not only an important Buddhist sanctuary in China, but it has also had a profound influence on the development of Buddhism in Japan, Korea, and other regions.
国清寺是中国佛教史上极具影响力的寺院之一，被誉为 天台宗的祖庭。天台宗由智顗大师创立，他被视为释迦牟尼佛在中国的应化身。国清寺不仅是中国佛教的重要道场，也对日本、朝鲜等地佛教的发展产生了深远影响。

What Do People Say?
“A Pilgrimage That Changed My Life.”
The pilgrimage to China in October 2024 came at a time when I was at a personal crossroads. From July to December 2024, I was on prolonged medical leave to recover from work-related anxiety and stress. It was a difficult period – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I had lost my sense of direction and was earnestly searching for meaning, healing, and peace.
Between July and September 2024, I found myself drawn to Buddhism, particularly to Pure Land teachings. I began watching Jiawen’s YouTube videos, and they became my spiritual lifeline. Her teachings, so clear and compassionate, lit a spark in me. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I was beginning to understand who I was meant to be and what truly mattered.
At the same time, my doctor advised me to travel, to relax and recover. I nearly signed up for a leisure trip to Greece to simply unwind. But deep inside, I felt a different kind of calling – not to escape, but to return to something greater. When Jiawen announced her pilgrimage trip to China, I knew immediately: this was the journey I was meant to take. More than just visiting sacred sites, it was a chance to physically take refuge in the Three Jewels under Master Renshan at Zhenning Pure Land Temple. It was the turning point I had been praying for.
It meant even more when my father chose to join me. We had never travelled like this together, and the shared experience brought us closer in ways I never imagined. Alongside 11 other pilgrims from Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, France and Malaysia, we formed a beautiful and diverse spiritual family.
Over two weeks, we visited sacred Buddhist sites such as Mt Wutai, the Hanging Temple, Yungang Grottoes, Luoyang, and ended in Shanghai. We paid homage to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and experienced profound spiritual awareness at every step. I never thought I could sustain the entire trip on a vegetarian diet but miraculously, I not only adapted, I felt especially good. My digestive system, which has been troublesome for years, felt calm and nourished throughout the trip. The accommodations were consistently clean and comfortable, some even quite new. And spending two nights in the temple was a rare and meaningful experience. The simplicity, serenity, and routines of temple life grounded me deeply.
Above all, this journey strengthened my faith in Amituofo. From the unexpected snow and divine encounters at Mt Wutai, to the sincere Dharma teachings and precious moments of chanting and reflection, every experience felt like a blessing. It wasn’t just a pilgrimage, it was a return to myself, and to something far greater.
This trip far exceeded my expectations. It gave me renewed purpose, and most of all, it reaffirmed my vow to walk the Pure Land path with faith, humility, and joy.
I am deeply grateful to Jiawen, Guo Zheng (our tour guide), the organisers, the Dharma protectors, and all my fellow pilgrims. I look forward – without a doubt – to the next trip.
Namo Amituofo 🙏 May all beings hear the name of Amitabha Buddha and be reborn in His Land of Ultimate Bliss.

“一次改变我生命的朝圣之旅”
2024年10月的中国朝圣之旅，正值我人生的一个十字路口。2024年7月至12月，我因工作引发的焦虑与压力而长期病休。这是一段身心灵都极为艰难的时期，我失去了方向，迫切地在寻找意义、疗愈与平静。
在2024年7月至9月之间，我逐渐被佛法吸引，尤其是净土法门。我开始观看嘉文师兄的YouTube视频，这些法语清晰、慈悲深切的开示成了我心灵的生命线。很久以来第一次，我感觉自己开始明白：我究竟应该成为什么样的人，什么才是真正重要的。
同时，医生建议我外出旅行，以放松身心、帮助康复。我一度差点报名去希腊的休闲旅行，只为暂时放松。然而，我内心深处感到一种不同的召唤——不是逃避，而是回归到更伟大的归宿。当嘉文师兄宣布将带队前往中国朝圣时，我立刻知道：这就是我应该踏上的旅程。这不仅是探访圣地的机会，更是一次在真宁净寺于仁山大和尚座下，亲身礼敬并皈依三宝的殊胜因缘。这是我一直祈盼的转折点。
更让我感动的是，父亲也决定与我同行。我们从未这样一起旅行过，而这段共同的经历让我们之间的关系更为亲近，甚至超出我所能想象。与来自澳大利亚、保加利亚、加拿大、中国、法国和马来西亚的另外11位朝圣同修，我们组成了一个美好而多元的心灵家园。
在两周的旅程中，我们朝礼了诸多佛教圣地，包括五台山、悬空寺、云冈石窟、洛阳，并在上海圆满行程。我们礼敬诸佛菩萨，每一步都感受到深刻的灵性觉悟。我原以为自己无法在整个行程中坚持全素饮食，但奇迹般地，不仅完全适应，还感觉特别轻安。困扰我多年的肠胃在旅程中出奇地平稳舒畅。住宿环境始终干净舒适，有些甚至是全新的。而在寺院中住上两晚，更是难得而有意义的体验——寺院的简朴、安宁与日常作息，使我的心深深安住。
最重要的是，这次旅程坚定了我对阿弥陀佛的信心。从五台山的瑞雪与殊胜因缘，到诚挚的法语开示，以及珍贵的念佛与静心时刻，每一次经历都像是一份加持与祝福。这不仅仅是一场朝圣，更是一场回归——回归到真正的自己，也回归到更伟大的依止。
这趟旅程远远超出了我的预期，给予我新的目标与意义，更让我再一次坚定了信愿行持净土法门的心——以信、以谦、以喜乐同行此道。
衷心感恩嘉文师兄、果正导游、所有的组织者、护法，以及每一位同行的朝圣同修。我已毫无疑问地期待着下一次的相聚。
南无阿弥陀佛 🙏 愿一切众生，皆闻佛名，生彼安乐国。

“The 2024 China Pilgrimage was an unforgettable journey.”
made all the more special by sharing it with a fantastic group of fellow Pure Land practitioners. Together, we explored some of China's most amazing Buddhist sites, including Mt. Wutai, the Yungang & Longmen Grottoes, and lots of important temples.
This incredible experience was expertly organized and led by Jiawen. Her meticulous attention to detail meant we could immerse ourselves fully in these extraordinary places without the usual hassles of travel. As a non-Chinese speaking Westerner, the trip took me to sites that would have been difficult to visit on my own. The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us plenty of time for guided tours, followed by individual exploration and personal reflection at each site. I never felt rushed.
A major highlight throughout the pilgrimage was when Jiawen arranged for us to take tea and talk with senior monks and masters. This gave me the chance to ask questions and find answers to some of my long-standing questions about practice.
The accommodation was a pleasant surprise—far better than what I typically book when travelling solo. And the food was a true revelation. Jiawen, a self-described "foodie," elevated vegetarianism to an art form. We enjoyed extraordinary meals, remarkable in their presentation, flavour, and quantity. I'll never forget the vegetarian prawns, with their near-perfect look, texture, and taste. Another unique experience was a temple meal, served and eaten in meditative silence in a vast dining hall.
Beyond the wonderful time I had, this pilgrimage expanded my understanding and appreciation of Chinese Buddhism, revealing its immense richness, depth, and culture. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

“2024年中国朝圣之旅，是一段令人终生难忘的旅程。”
能够与一群可爱的净土同行者一同前行，更让这次旅程格外特别。我们一同探访了中国一些最令人赞叹的佛教圣地，包括五台山、云冈石窟、龙门石窟，以及许多重要的寺院。
这段非凡的经历由嘉文师兄精心策划与带领。她对细节的周密安排，让我们能够全心沉浸在这些殊胜的道场中，而不必为旅行中的琐事分心。作为一名不懂中文的西方人，这次行程让我得以顺利前往许多自己难以独自到达的地方。整个行程节奏安排得恰到好处，每一站都有导览讲解，之后也留有充足的时间供我们自由参观与个人静心体会，我从未感到仓促。
整个朝圣途中，最令我感动的亮点之一，是嘉文师兄特别安排我们与多位高僧大德品茗谈心。这让我有机会向他们请教，并得到一些困扰我已久的修行问题的解答。
住宿条件也远超我的预期——比我独自旅行时通常预订的要好得多。饮食更是让我惊喜不已。自称“吃货”的嘉文，把素食提升到了艺术的层次。我们品尝了无数色香味俱全的素食佳肴，令人赞叹的不仅是味道，还有精致的摆盘与丰盛的分量。我永远不会忘记那道素虾——外观、口感、味道几乎与真虾无异。另一个难忘的体验是在寺院的大斋堂中，与大众一起静默进餐的素斋，那份庄严与安宁让人久久回味。
除了旅途中的愉悦，这次朝圣更拓展了我对中国佛教的理解与欣赏，让我深切体会到其博大精深与文化底蕴。我已经开始期待下一次的朝圣之旅了！
