Jingxin Temple|The mystery of Guanyin Hall? .

Jingxin Temple has a well-organized layout, and each hall exudes a strong cultural heritage and religious atmosphere. The main hall in the backyard is the Main Hall, and the auxiliary halls are arranged in sequence, including the Fox Fairy Hall, the Earth Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall, the Samantabhadra Hall, and the Manjusri Hall. In these halls, any statues that are backlit are decorated with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, animals, flowers and plants, which symbolize holiness and auspiciousness. However, the scene inside the Guanyin Hall is different. It is decorated with pavilions and pavilions. This unique feature makes people stop and stare and wonder. What is even more striking is that there seems to be some deviation in the enshrinement of the main throne in Guanyin Hall. According to common sense, Guanyin Bodhisattva should be enshrined in the Guanyin Hall, just like other halls in the entire temple. However, the main figure here is suspected to be Sakyamuni Buddha. This discovery undoubtedly exacerbates people's confusion and confusion. At the same time, there are also ten statues of Bodhisattvas in the hall. There are many theories circulating on the Internet about the identities of these ten Bodhisattvas. However, after careful comparison, they are all inconsistent with the actual statues, which makes the worship situation of the entire Guanyin Hall Even more confusing. We can’t help but wonder, did the temple’s renovation or historical changes lead to deviations in the offerings in the Guanyin Hall for some reason? This deviation is not only reflected in the choice of the main statue, but also involves the uniqueness of the backlight decoration and the interpretation of the identity and symbolic meaning of the ten Bodhisattvas. Regarding these issues, is there anyone who knows enough to share with you? Uncomfortable!
