The pagoda is on the slope and the Buddha is on the wall, bathing in the same dust with the light, the initial heart--Anyue Tapo Cliff Carving
Tapo is one of the sourest carvings in Ningmeng County. In my place, it is one of the four Vajras—Pilu Cave, Yuanjue Cave, Reclining Buddha Temple, and Tapo. I knew it was a bit famous, but I didn't know it was so famous. A remote mountain stone carving actually attracts endless tourists, and they come from all over the country. The small country road can't stop the car, after all, Tapo will not disappoint, even if it only has a small cave, it is definitely worth stopping for.
For protection, Anyue built a hall to cover it, so the best time to go is early morning and evening, the morning glow and evening shadow, a touch of rosy clouds through the window lattice, as if the Buddha shows his true body. What kind of craftsmanship can carve such a Huayan Three Saints, let it go through a thousand years, only to increase loneliness, loneliness and vicissitudes. This hall only has the Huayan Three Saints, but it should be able to compete for the first three saints in the country. Even Qionglai Shijun Mountain can only look at its back. Its advantage lies in the five senses of Sakyamuni and Manjusri, the face is full of Tang Dynasty aesthetics, round and shy, looking down and obedient, looking at the clear heart, watching the soul, plus the more complicated crown on the complicated snail bun, the other side flower and the Tathagata Buddha, the flame backlight and the auspicious branches and leaves, the meaning is too complicated, less a lack of taste, just a worldly treasure! Why only talk about Sakyamuni and Manjusri, because the right hand side of Samantabhadra's head is tilted, the face does not know whether it was destroyed by WG or later fell off, Anyue invited modern craftsmen to reshape it, the plastic surgery failed, the car accident scene, put it next to Sakyamuni and Manjusri handled by the ancient master Wen's family, it is slightly respectful to say that it is horrible.
The flaws do not hide the jade, the wind and frost of a thousand years make the clothes of the three saints fade away the gem-like color, but the spots of mottled color prove their long history. The old man at the door thoughtfully prepared a wooden ladder for the tourists to climb up the steps, which allows people to face these living cultural relics almost at zero distance. Although there are Houjiawan, Datong Temple, and Tianjiayan Cliff around, after seeing this place, the eyes will only remain the glory of the Huayan Three Saints. The grottoes must see Tapo, just like the original chicken must eat KFC, super five-star recommendation.
