Lingshan Buddhist Palace is located within the Lingshan Scenic Area, adjacent to the Lingshan Great Buddha. It is a magnificent Buddhist palace with exquisite decorations and exhibits, worth a closer look. When there are no meetings held at the Vatican Altar, there is still a dreamlike performance of the Lingshan Auspicious Ode every day, which is spectacular and stunning, not to be missed.
The exterior of Lingshan Brahma Palace is mainly in the style of Huazang Pagoda, incorporating elements of grottoes and traditional Buddhist architecture. The large stone walls are covered with exquisite reliefs, and the five golden spires are very grand. Entering the palace, one is dazzled by art treasures such as Dongyang wood carvings, Dunhuang murals, Yangzhou lacquerware, cloisonn é Xumi lamps, Shoushan stone carvings, Jingdezhen blue and white doucai jars, and more.
The spacious hall is adorned with golden decorations, and you will see the twelve zodiac animal statues in human form, with different sitting postures and lifelike expressions. Arriving at the courtyard, the intricately carved tall dome exudes an extraordinary grandeur, with a blue top resembling the sky; There are various forms of immortal statues on the front beams and columns, as if they are about to fly out.
Walking through the courtyard to the end, you can see a high wall shining with extraordinary brilliance, which is the treasure of the Brahman Palace, the "Huazang World". The wall covers an area of 100 square meters and is made of 160 pieces of glass fired. There are reliefs on top, with five golden Buddha statues of "one big and four small" embedded in the middle. Above is a wooden plaque with the four golden characters "Infinite Response" written on it. The entire work is dazzling and eye-catching.
Looking at the altar again, the most eye-catching feature of this spacious venue is its colorful dome, and the constantly changing lights make people feel like they have entered a dream. The performance of the Auspicious Song of Lingshan here tells the story of Shakyamuni giving up his position as crown prince and his extravagant life, becoming a monk and practicing, and going through hardships to become a Buddha.
You can sit on a cushion of a futon to watch. In addition, there is a treasure trove on the second floor of the Brahma Palace, showcasing many works of contemporary art and crafts masters, including jade carvings, porcelain, paintings, etc., which can satisfy the eyes.
You can also taste vegetarian food at the Wuguan Hall on the third floor. There are also square, perfume sea, Manfeilong Pagoda, Wuyin mandala and other Buddhist landscape buildings outside the Vatican, which can be viewed in detail.
