Why do people who get lost on Mount Hua see Buddha statues composed of light and shadow?

Buddhists believe that the light of the Buddha is the light emitted by the bodhisattva's head chakra.

In physics, Buddha light is a kind of "solar halo". When sunlight shines on the surface of clouds, diffraction and diffuse reflection form the natural wonder of Buddha light. The sunlight casts human figures onto the clouds, in which small Xiaoice crystals and water droplets form a unique circle-shaped rainbow.

It is a diffraction phenomenon formed when strong sunlight hits the surface of clouds and fog in gloomy weather. The appearance of the wonder of "Buddha's light" requires a combination of many natural factors such as sunlight, topography and sea of clouds, so it is relatively rare.

Buddhists believe that the light of the Buddha is the light emitted by the bodhisattva's head chakra.

1 The light that the Buddha brings. Buddhism believes that the Buddha's power is vast, and enlightening sentient beings is like the sun breaking through the darkness and clouds. In the volume of "The Treatise on the Samadhi Treasure King of the Buddha": "The golden mountain is shining, the magic light is the Buddha's light, looking at himself and others, and the evil and the good are mixed. ”

2 It is the light that appears above the Buddha statue. Song Shaobo's "After Hearing and Seeing the Record" Volume 28: "The Buddha light of Wutai Mountain is passed down from the old.

Tang Muzong Record": On April 4, the fifteenth year of Yuanhe, Hedong Jiedu made Pei Du play: On the side of Foguang Temple in Wutai Mountain, Qingyun Xian, if the golden immortal took the sinister, led his disciples to tens of millions, from Si to Shen Nai.

3 Refers to the luster of the surface of the Buddha statue. Ming Li Zhen's "With the Old Man of the City": "The temple is fortunately completed, and the Buddha is brilliant.

>4 is also known as "Emei Baoguang". A colored halo of light surrounding a human figure on clouds or fog in the opposite direction of the sun. People stand with their backs to the sun, and light rays are diffracted through small water droplets in the cloud area.

It is commonly found in mountainous areas, and is most common in Mount Emei, China. It looks like a colorful aura. And the figure is in the middle of the halo.

And the figure moves with the person, the change is strange, and it is unexpected. Since its discovery in 63 AD, it has not only a long history of more than 1,900 years, but also is famous as a wonder of the world.

Regarding the cause of Buddha light, there is the theory of "complex scattering", the theory of "reflection first, then diffraction", and the theory of "first diffraction, then reflection", and so on. According to the knowledge of optics, a light source (usually sunlight) comes from behind the observer, and when it passes through an infinite number of layers of cloud droplets in front and behind, the first cloud droplet has a splitting effect on the incident sunlight, and the latter cloud droplet has a reflection effect on the separated colored light. The reflected light spreads out or converges on the side of the sun, and any point of view that greets the converging light (i.e., the person standing between the sun and the clouds) can see a slightly different ring of colored light, which is the Buddha's light.

As long as the light is strong, the radius of the cloud droplets is small, and the size is uniform, you can generally see that multiple halos have different brightness, but the "Buddha light" with the same color arrangement order is generally 4 circles, because the outermost 4th halo circle is too weak, even if it appears, it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish.

It may be that there is a lot of water vapor in his position, and the light is refracted.

If they really get lost on Huashan, I don't know if they can see the Buddha statue.

It was supposed to be that they were lost, they couldn't find their glasses, and they thought someone had saved them.

No, it's a rumor, people who got lost in Huashan basically won't come back alive, the road is too difficult to walk.

This is formed by optical action, when people shine light on clouds.

It's just a rumor, and someone tried it, and it didn't.

This truth tells us that we should not think too highly of ourselves in life;

Only by melting your heart into saving sentient beings will you be able to transcend yourself.

Normal, who doesn't love the "night economy" in light and shadow...It has a very confusing feel that navigation is not useful here.

It's just a special refraction of light, nothing special.

Because they were probably scared when they got lost, they had a fantasy.
