Putuo Mountain is located in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, China, and is one of the holy places of Buddhism. I have had the privilege of setting foot on this sacred land and the beauty and tranquility of this place are unforgettable.
I remember that at that time, I set off from the city early in the morning and took a boat to Putuo Mountain. The boat is sailing on the rippling sea, the sun is shining on the body, and the breeze is blowing, which is really refreshing. Soon after, I finally saw the legendary island of Putuo Mountain, like a blooming flower bud, soaked in the embrace of the East China Sea. When I landed on the island, I was greeted by a majestic statue of Guanyin. She towers into the sky, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like a goddess descending to earth, exuding a solemn and warm atmosphere. I gazed at her, and sighed in my heart, as if all my troubles had dissipated under her protection, and my soul had been cleansed.
Walking up the mountain road, I felt the artistic conception of Putuo Mountain, described by the literati of the Tang Dynasty, as "crimson sunny soil and sparse green jungle". The green mountains and green waters, the lush forests and bamboos, give people a feeling of fresh breeze. The stone steps between the mountains are winding, and walking on them is like stepping into a fairyland. Along the way, I saw many worshippers who bowed down with their hearts and minds to entrust their wishes to Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a pious and firm belief.
Continuing to climb upward, I came to the famous Putuo Mountain Temple. The temple is solemn and solemn, and the Buddha statue is shining. I heard that there is also a temple bell known as "Ten Thousand Buddhas" in the temple, and it is said that as long as you ring it, you can get the blessing of ten thousand Buddhas. I walked up to the bell and rang the ancient bell with the others, and in this moment, it was as if time had frozen and the world had stood still. I began to listen to my inner voice, to think about the meaning of life, to feel my own smallness and the wonder of being part of the world.
In addition to the influence of Buddhist culture, Putuo Mountain also has a unique natural landscape. I walked along the coastline, the waves crashing against the reef and the sea breeze blowing on my cheeks, bringing a sense of tranquility and comfort. Standing on the beach, overlooking the blue waters, I feel as if I can feel the power of nature and the grandeur of the universe.
Putuo Mountain is a sacred place that purifies people's souls, and its beautiful scenery and sacred power make me unforgettable for life. It made me understand that life's troubles are just a gust of wind and rain, and that inner steadfastness and piety are the beacons of the soul. Regardless of belief or not, everyone should come to Putuo Mountain once and feel the beating spirit.
