The Five Masters are the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, a belief that has been spread in the Wutai Mountain region for a long time. Manjushri is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism and is considered a symbol of wisdom. In Wutai Mountain, as the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Five Masters are deeply respected and worshiped by local people and tourists.
The fifth master likes to watch plays, so an ancient stage was built opposite the palace of the five dragon kings, which was specially designed for the five masters. Many believers who come to repay their vows will also give the fifth master a stage play to show their respect and gratitude to the fifth master. In the Five Masters Temple, Guangji Dragon King Manjushri Bodhisattva is regarded as the first ** God of Wealth in Buddhism, and he responds to the wishes of all living beings, so he is affectionately called the "Five Masters".
There are eight pillars of wealth on the main hall in the temple of the five masters, they represent the eight ** doors of the five masters of the dragon to teach all beings how to seek wealth properly, and also entrust the local people to pray for good weather, peace and auspiciousness, and assume the function of folk gods. In the Wutai Mountain area, the relationship between the Five Masters and Manjushri is seen as a mystical belief, and many people believe that the Five Masters are the incarnations of Manjushri and can bring wisdom and wealth. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Wutai Mountain area was not a cool resort, but a scorching heat, and the local people suffered greatly. The great wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva, who specializes in solving people's worries and problems, skillfully borrowed a cool stone from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and since then Wutai Mountain has become cool and pleasant, and the wind and rain are smooth, and it has become a summer resort. And this cool gem was originally the five sons of the dragon king, sowing clouds and rain, and returning to drive away the heat and coolness. When the five little dragon kings found that the Xiliang Gem had been brought to Wutai Mountain by Manjushri Bodhisattva, they followed them and made a big fuss about Wutai Mountain, cutting the five steep peaks like swords into five platforms to retrieve the Qingliang Stone. But Manjushri had boundless mana after all, and he quickly subdued the five little dragon kings and let them live on the top of the five platforms. These five dragon kings were arranged in the highest north platform, in charge of cultivating clouds and sowing rain in Wutai Mountain. Creative Inspiration Center
