The Yuanjue Cave Scenic Area is located on Yunju Mountain, 1 kilometer southeast of Anyue County, Sichuan Province. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site. It contains 103 existing caves and niches, housing 1,933 statues. Most of the statues date back to the Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song dynasties. The three statues, over 6 meters tall, of Sakyamuni, Guanyin (Pure Bottle Guanyin), and Guanyin (Lotus Hand Guanyin) are the most spectacular. Yuanjue Cave is named after the Twelve Yuanjue statues, signifying that everyone, regardless of self or status, can awaken and become a Buddha. The Yuanjue Cave scenic area features three 7-meter-tall stone statues of the "Three Holy Ones of the West" (the "Three Holy Ones of the West" are a combination of the three highest deities in the Western Paradise: Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Guanyin). While other locations feature a single niche for the Three Holy Ones, these are carved in separate niches here, a unique feature of the Anyue Grottoes. [Cute] If you look closely at the Buddha statues in Yuanjue Cave, you'll notice their distinctive expressions. Unlike the serene and selfless expressions commonly seen in Central Plains Buddhist statues or those from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, their eyes reveal a subtle inner reflection. Many Buddha statues have eyes slightly squinted, half-closed, as if peeping, giving off a sense of insincerity. In fact, if you understand the history of Anyue stone carvings, you'll understand why the statues here appear this way. During the late Tang Dynasty, the Anyue area revered the Liu Benzun sect, a sect with a strong "evil" bent, advocating self-mutilation as a form of spiritual practice. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Anyue stone carvings were once closed by local authorities, prohibiting the public from viewing or studying them. [TeaDrinker] Knowing this, many questions about the Anyue stone carvings become clearer. Yuanjue Cave is merely a niche within the Yuanjue Cave Scenic Area. In fact, the numerous cliff carvings on Yunju Mountain should be referred to as the "Yunju Mountain Grottoes." However, Yuanjue Cave is the most famous, so this name has been retained. Major attractions at the top of Yunju Mountain include numerous large and small stone grotto statues, the tomb of Chen Tuan, the Qin Jiushao Memorial Hall, the Jiaozhong Temple, and the ancient buildings of Zhenzhen Temple. #SichuanTravel #SichuanMust-See Attractions #SichuanTravelStrategy #ThePlacesMost AskedAboutOnWeChat #NicheDiscovery
