In the world, there are two Jizu Mountains, one is located in the ancient Magadha state of India, in the area of Bihar today; the other is Jizu Mountain in Binchuan, Yunnan. Moreover, both mountains are famous Buddhist mountains, and both have the same legend. There are two versions of the legend. It is said that the two Jizu Mountains belong to the same mountain, and Dali Kingdom belonged to the Western Regions in ancient times, and some experts said: "Diancang Mountain in Dali is the Lingjiu Mountain, on which Sakyamuni said the Miaofa Lotus Sutra, The second Xier River is the Ganges River; Sakyamuni became a Buddha there; the third one he looked at the Jiuqu Mountain (Qingdian Mountain) to the east of the Erhai Lake, said that the mountain was like a chicken foot, and then put He is called Jizu Mountain." Another similarity is that Dali is called "Miaoxiang Buddha Kingdom". Among the 22 kings of Dali Kingdom, 9 kings became monks. This is very similar to the story of Sakyamuni who gave up his throne and became a monk. Another more established theory is: in 399 A.D., Fa Xian, the first person in China to seek Buddhist scriptures in the west, traveled to Dali after returning from India to learn Buddhist scriptures. This is called induction in the Buddhist world, so in order to commemorate the memory of Venerable Kassapa, later generations of Buddhism enshrined Jizu Mountain as the Yinghua dojo of Venerable Kassapa. The historical background at that time was that Buddhism in India was basically extinct, and it had already transferred to the land of China to take root and blossom. This is the saying that Buddhism was born in India and flourished in China. Regarding the allusion of Venerable Kasyapa's entry into Jizu Mountain, Master Xuanzang's "Da Tang Western Regions" records: "Kasyapa presided over the Dharma, and after gathering, in the 20th year, he will be weary of the impermanence of the world, and he will enter extinction. Jizu Mountain." Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, the beauty of Jizu Mountain and the sunrise of Jizu Mountain, when I saw it with my own eyes for the first time, I was shocked. This is a kind of shock that cannot be described with photos and words. While looking at such a shocking beauty, the heart is peaceful and serene. After I left Jizu Mountain, this state is still something I will never forget for a long time.
Jizu Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy place in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The profound Buddhist culture and legends related to Buddhist culture here make people applaud, and no matter how long it has passed, they can still clearly remember it. Jizu Mountain has 40 mountains, 13 dangerous peaks, 34 stone walls, 45 secluded caves, more than 100 springs and pools, and more than 500 species of higher plants in more than 80 families. Looking around, the entire mountain is covered by woods and smoke. It is very spectacular! Many people think that going to Jizu Mountain can only see temples and experience Buddhist culture, but on Jizu Mountain, climbing to the top to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds is the most memorable.
The sunrise and the sea of clouds may be the most desirable and magnificent scenery among all the natural scenery, which have appeared many times in the poems of poets and paintings of painters for thousands of years. When you come to Jizu Mountain, it will appear in your eyes.
The sunrise and sea of clouds of Jizu Mountain are one of the eight scenic spots of Jizu Mountain. It is conceivable that when you climb to the top of the 3420-meter mountain, you will face the diffuse sky and watch the red sun come to the world little by little. Bringing life and light to the world is a beauty that needs no words. When the first ray of sunlight shines on the Jinding Temple of Jizu Mountain, the mountain that has slept all night is waking up. The golden hall of Dingsi is more and more eye-catching. Looking at the people coming and going in the Jinding Temple, all holding incense sticks and solemn faces, I suddenly thought of the words about "fate" in Buddhist scriptures. According to the Buddhist scriptures, fate is an indescribable and inseparable phenomenon in the vast world. There will always be some destiny between people and between people and things, just like I met in Jizu Mountain. When you meet him, everything you encounter can be regarded as fate. Fate is both inevitable and accidental in life.
Finally, I would like to introduce to you the related matters of going to Jizu Mountain.
1. Preliminary preparation: Since the top of the mountain is relatively cold, it is recommended to bring a thick coat. It was September when I went, and I still needed to wear fleece clothes at the top of the mountain. You can bring more food to the mountain, because the transportation on the top of the mountain is inconvenient and the price is more expensive.
2. Ticket price: Ticket 80 yuan + cableway ticket 75 yuan + sightseeing car 60 yuan
3. Transportation method: First take a bus from Dali Passenger Transport Center to Binchuan, and then take the Jizu Mountain special line to reach Jizu Mountain.
