Outstanding

I brought my 93-year-old husband to Lushan to worship the Central Plains Buddha during the Dragon Boat Festival. Seeing it in person, I realized that photos could never capture its grandeur. The entire Buddha statue is 208 meters tall, standing amidst the mountains. From afar, its golden body shines brightly, backed by rolling green hills, exuding an exceptionally solemn aura. Walking slowly up the Fuhui Avenue, the faint scent of incense along the way calmed my mind. Reaching the worship platform, my neck ached from looking up. The Buddha's gentle, lowered eyes seemed to quietly overlook the beings below, its immense size creating a powerful impact. I climbed the steps, carefully paying my respects at each hall. The Ancient Buddha Spring Temple was serene and ancient, with towering ancient trees in the courtyard, making burning incense and praying a truly peaceful experience. To get close enough to touch the Buddha's feet, you need to take an elevator. Standing beside the Buddha's feet and looking down, the entire valley unfolded before my eyes. The mountain breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees, and all my restlessness vanished.
