Kuixing Temple, a bodimandala of
Avalokitesvara, is located at
Kuifeng Mountain, southwest of Yongchun County, Fujian Province China. It
was built in Sui Dynasty (1,300 Ad) and rebuilt in Song Dynasty (1,000
Ad).

The restoration
project of the temple’s main hall began in spring of 2003. Rinpoche was
invited to give advice on its design. According to his pure vision
Rinpoche suggested that an Avalokitesvara statue be enshrined in the hall.
The 7.3-meter-high
statue of Avalokitesvara enshrined in the hall is the biggest red copper
Buddha statue in Tibetan Buddhism style around China. Rinpoche gave
profound advice on its design and engaged professional handicraftsmen to
make it according to the traditional Tibetan Buddhism ritual. It took one
year and three months to complete the whole project.
Rinpoche presided over the insertion
ritual for the statue. Precious relics, lineage gurus’ supreme blessing
pills and objects, and Great Scriputure(Tangyur and Gangyur) were
inserted in the statue, which serves as an interdependent origination for
spreading of exoteric and esoteric Buddha Dharma. |
