According to historical records, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, Mount Putuo was a treasure-house for Taoist practitioners to practice. Putuo Mountain Buddhism has a long history, which was founded in the Tang Dynasty and is the Guanyin Dojo.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a monk came to the mountain to worship Buddha. It is said that Guanyin was seen in Yin Chao cave. Master Hua Hui, who became a monk in the fourth year of Tang Xiantong, invited the Guanyin statue of Wutai Mountain to return home by boat. When the ship arrived at Lianhuayang, it was hit by the wind and waves several times and could not make it.
Therefore, I believe that Guanyin refused to cross to the east, but left an icon beside the cave in Yin Chao, so I said I refused to go to Guanyin. After several generations of construction, there are many temples. In its heyday, there were 4 temples in the whole mountain, including temple 106 and Mao Peng 139, with more than 4,654 monks, so it was called the first Buddhist country in Aurora.
