Buddhist belief comes from a person's original intention. After he has experienced all kinds of hardships in the world, he will have an enlightenment about Buddhism's transparent thoughts. In Buddhist thought, the Buddha has the "eye of cause and effect" that can see through everything in the world. However, his eye of cause and effect cannot change cause and effect. When he sees that the tragic result is coming, he will close his eyes unbearably and even shed tears. .
Obviously, this idea is just a legend, and the legend is more serious. However, there are not a few reports about the Giant Buddha crying, such as the Leshan Giant Buddha tearing incident.
It is reported that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, local residents in Leshan, Sichuan have witnessed the Giant Buddha "crying" four times so far, and each time it shed tears, disasters occurred across the country. These disasters caused suffering to the Chinese people, either from famine or severe drought. This makes people wonder, does the Buddha really have a "karma eye"? Why are we crying when disasters happen in our country? With these questions, relevant experts have also stepped into the investigation.
After investigation, it was found that the "tears" seen by eyewitnesses were actually untrue. First of all, the Leshan Giant Buddha is just a stone statue and does not have the breath of life, so it cannot shed tears like animals. Secondly, the Leshan Giant Buddha "shed tears" It should be the result of acid rain.
You must know that the acid rain distributed in the sky can even corrode some metals, not to mention the mere stone statues of Leshan Giant Buddha. The hardening degree of stone statues is far less than that of gold, steel and other metals.
It turns out that since the founding of New China, our country has gradually entered the era of industrialization. The same is true in Leshan, Sichuan. Residents invest in industrial construction every day. Since the operation of factories requires the consumption of oil, gas and coal, when they are consumed, sulfur dioxide When the gases are also emitted, it is obvious that these gases are the basic conditions for the formation of acid rain and are also a major component of air pollution.
When gases such as sulfur dioxide reach the sky, they gradually liquefy due to the decrease in temperature caused by the increase in altitude. The liquefied sulfur dioxide becomes acid rain.
The quality of sulfur dioxide is obviously improved after it is liquefied in the sky. Under special circumstances, they fall down in the form of rain. At this time, acid rain generally occurs in the local area. This acid rain will have an erosive effect on metal and stone statues, and the Leshan Giant Buddha Naturally, it cannot be spared. After all, its true form is exposed on the set, and there is no protective measure at all from acid rain. This is also the reason why there was no discovery of the "tears" incident of the Buddha before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After the Big Buddha was built, it was originally placed indoors. However, with the emergence of modern wars and the chaotic current situation, the Big Buddha was moved to an open-air environment. Until the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Big Buddha did not return to the temple. Under this background, even ordinary rainfall will cause erosion to the stone statues, let alone acid rain. You must know that materials such as stones are affected by weathering in the open air environment. Yes, over time, the stone will slowly deform. Obviously, the weathering effect of the Leshan Giant Buddha has become more obvious under the influence of acid rain.
The Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan is an iconic building in our country. Its appearance confirmed our country's attitude towards religious beliefs at that time. As early as thousands of years ago, local residents often had accidents while traveling on the water, and the people suffered terribly.
However, even if the waterway is dangerous, it cannot stop their travel. After all, they make a living on this. In order to alleviate people's worries about accidents, the construction of the Leshan Giant Buddha has been put on the agenda. At first, the builder of the Giant Buddha was a local monk named "Haitong", who wanted to bless the area with peace by building the Giant Buddha.
However, Haitong is an ordinary monk after all. The construction of the Buddha requires a lot of financial and material resources. In desperation, he can only raise donations from the public. On this occasion, he rushes around to build the Buddha. Take great pains. Fortunately, the construction of the Giant Buddha finally started, but monk Haitong died of overwork. Subsequently, two generations of local Jiedu envoys came to help, and they did not hesitate to use their private property to fund the construction of the Giant Buddha.In the subsequent construction, local officials also used public funds to finance the construction.
With the efforts of several generations, the Leshan Giant Buddha was finally completed, and the huge stone statue was located in the pavilion. In this way, there was a giant Buddha in the local area that protected people. Since then, the number of accidents caused by waterways in the area has really decreased. This situation made people at that time more convinced that the giant Buddha can bring blessings, so people every day Whenever they pass by there, they will pray devoutly, asking the Buddha to bring them good luck.
Conclusion: The Leshan Giant Buddha has now become a landmark building in my country, and the unique landscape has made the local area a popular tourist attraction. Every year, domestic and foreign travel enthusiasts gather. For thousands of years, the Leshan Giant Buddha has never fallen, but there have been four "tears" incidents in the past century. There is no doubt that the tears shed by the Buddha several times were just the result of acid rain, and the disasters encountered during this period were nothing more than Accidental events.
