A Spiritual Journey to the Buddhist Kingdom of Putuo Mountain

Upon first stepping onto Putuo Mountain, one immediately feels a sense of tranquility and peace. As dawn breaks and a thin mist envelops the area, the boat glides over the vast sea, and from a distance, the mountain peaks appear faintly, like lotus flowers blooming between the sky and the water. After disembarking, a gentle breeze carries the coolness of the sea and the scent of incense from the temples, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a Buddhist paradise. Visiting Puji Temple, the ancient and solemn temple is filled with the sound of Buddhist chants. Devotees kneel in sincere worship, their wishes rising with the curling blue smoke. Then, climbing Buddha Top Mountain, the winding and steep path is surrounded by lush green pines, with the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoing in the ears. In front of the South Sea Guanyin statue, the golden figure shines brilliantly, with a compassionate face and downcast eyes, seemingly quietly watching over every person who comes to pray. As the sun sets, Putuo Mountain is bathed in a soft golden hue, blending the sea and sky into one, creating a serene and peaceful scene. This journey of soul purification is not only a pilgrimage but also an opportunity for inner dialogue. The beauty of Putuo Mountain surpasses natural magnificence, becoming a sanctuary that soothes the soul, leaving an unforgettable impression.
