Buddhist Paradise

The Buddhist Paradise stands erect on the Danxia Hill of Mountain Lingyun. It was built according to the general lay out of the palace in Tang Dynasty and made use of the terrain of the hill. Steep stone steps are like steps to heavens and rise in the sky. They are beautiful and imposing and of great momentousness. The major palace building can be divided into two compounds: the front compound and the back compound. The inside of the main palace is vaulted. The statue of the newly molded Mile Buddha sits prone. On the back wall is a large colorful fresco. The Buddhist Paradise is a richly ornamented building, which demonstrates the wealth of the Mile Pure (Doushui) Land. On the cliff sides around the palace, there are more than ten Mile Statues and 15 groups of continuous relieves of the birth and nirvana of the Mile Buddha. In these Buddha statues, the form is artistic, the sculptural skill is exquisite, and the plot is lively. When ascending and facing the Buddhist Paradise, visitors seem to enter into a dreamland, which gives people a transcendental and refined feeling.
