Is the Ao at the top the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva?

Guanyin's mount is an animal called "roar", roar is one of the nine sons of the dragon, resembling a lion, because people have not seen it, they take the lion as the original form, add two horns on its head, as a roar, Guanyin rides on it, called "riding roar Guanyin". Another lion-related statue of Guanyin is the "Lion's Roar Guanyin". As mentioned above, since people have never seen a roar, many times the roar is directly caused by a lion, and the roar is expressed through the form of a lion's roar.

Riding the roar of Guanyin or the roar of the lion is the same theme, and is one of the thirty-three bodies of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In addition to riding a roar and a lion, Guanyin also has a shape of riding an elephant, called "riding an elephant Guanyin". Riding the elephant Guanyin originated from an allusion, saying that Guanyin was still the princess of Miaoshan at that time, and went to Mount Meru to seek the Tao after becoming a monk, and was killed when passing through Jinlun Mountain, and a white elephant carried it down the mountain.

This image is very spiritual, after saving Princess Miaoshan refused to go back to the mountain, to go with Princess Miaoshan to seek positive results, so he became Princess Miaoshan's mount, and then went through a lot of hardships and dangers all the way, and the princess was negative to Snow Lotus Peak, and finally achieved a positive result.

No. Buddhist scriptures that have been passed down orally for 500 years will inevitably have distortions and deviations, and more importantly, some believers add their own understandings and teachings in the oral transmission process, resulting in the vast number of Buddhist scriptures today, the content is different, and even contradictory in many places. It can be seen that the Buddhist scriptures today are no longer the teachings of Shakyamuni.

Another "creation" of folk Buddhism is the bodhisattva. Shakyamuni did not mention "Bodhisattva", and the statue of Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple is even more contrary to Shakyamuni's teachings. The Buddhist Emperor Ashoka ordered the eradication of 18,000 idols, because the devout Ashoka knew that idolatry was contrary to the tenets of Buddhism.

As for the Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is widely believed by the Chinese people, it has been continuously "modified" by later generations. Dr. Leung said that Guanyin is a new deity that Buddhists assemble from India to be a god of compassion and freedom, and that Guanyin was originally a man with a beard, but was later changed to a woman by Chinese Buddhists. It can be seen that Guanyin is just a product of posterity.

And the so-called bodhisattva manifestations are the work of evil spirits. ”

The Lotus Sutra "Guanyin Bodhisattva 32 should be.

Whatever body sentient beings should have, Guanyin Bodhisattva will manifest it. Not only in front of him in the form of a Buddha.

Expression: It means that Guanyin Bodhisattva [compassion and wisdom supernatural powers] is the best! , each understanding is different.

Guanyin Bodhisattva has a good reputation among the Chinese people, east, west, north and south, cities and countryside, men, women and children, almost all know Guanyin Bodhisattva, know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is compassionate, and know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is responsive.

Putuo Mountain is the Guanyin Bodhisattva's Yinghua Dojo, which is actually not important, it is enough to have a Bodhisattva in your heart.

Putuo Mountain is in the central sea area of Zhoushan, Zhejiang, so the folk "South China Sea Guanyin" statement is somewhat inaccurate, geographically, she is in the East China Sea. But there is no need to make corrections, along the historical context, let's look back, the ruling center of China's dynasties was originally in the north, and it is reasonable to divide Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea on a large scale.

Putuo Mountain is independent of the sea of Miaomiao, such as the dragon leaping over the sea, verdant forests, plump and verdant, the temple tower corner, faintly, Sanskrit cigarettes, swirling in it. To burn a pillar of incense, to repay a wish, to go on a sightseeing tour, you have to walk through a section of the sea, the sea is not walkable, you have to take a boat.

At that time, Guanyin Bodhisattva was a lotus cloud, that is, the fish, crabs, turtles and shrimps in the sea, and also had an extraordinary Taoism, and would carry Guanyin across the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves, Guanyin's feet could not be wet.

Legend has it that the original Guanyin's dojo was in Luojia Mountain, one day, Guanyin felt that Luojia Mountain was already very small, not conducive to the future development, and had to change the mountain, so he jumped to Zhujiajian Island, looked around the four seas, but only saw eighty islands, which did not meet the eighty-one of the Buddha's wishes, so Guanyin jumped to Putuo Mountain. To this day, there are footprints of Guanyin jumping on both islands. The question is that on Zhujiajian Island, Guanyin only saw eighty instead of eighty-one mountain islands?

Guanyin turned out to be confused for a while, and missed the Zhujiajian Island that was stepped on. It's worth playing. Or maybe Putuo Mountain is only fate with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Another thing is that Putuo Mountain was originally a snake island, and all kinds of snakes, large and small snakes, lived peacefully in Putuo Mountain. Guanyin came and chose Putuo Mountain as the dojo, but the snake king didn't do it, the snake son and snake grandson, the place where the generations have lived, why do you want Guanyin to come if you want to. Verbal battles, not admitting defeat.

Guanyin then made a plan, saying that as long as the snake king could connect along the mountain island, she would leave immediately. The snake king also has a way, not to mention one circle, three circles and five circles. But the Snake King underestimated Guanyin, no matter how he used the Dharma, there was always a distance of one meter between the beginning and the end and could not be connected.

The snake king knew that he had met a master, but he couldn't break his promise, so he had to admit defeat and take the snakes and snakes and grandchildren to cross the sea towards Luojia Mountain.

But in any case, Guanyin in the folk is very perfect, saving suffering, saving difficulties, saving emergencies ......Send the son, send the blessing ......
