玉佛寺英文导游词

Ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to visit a famous Buddhist temple---the Jade Buddha Temple. Before visiting the temple, I’d like to say a few words about the religious situation in Shanghai. Our constitution stipulates that every Chinese citizen is ensured the freedom of religious belief. There are four major religions in practice in Shanghai, namely, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity, which is sub-divided into the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church. When it comes to Buddhist temples in China, they are usually classified into three sects, i.e. temples for meditation, for preaching and for practicing Buddhist disciplines. The Jade Buddha Temple is a temple for meditation, and is well-known both at home and abroad.

The temple was first built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, when a monk named Hui Gen went on a pilgrimage to Burma and brought back five jade statues of Sakyamuni. On his way back to Mount Putuo via Shanghai, he left two jade statues here, one in sitting posture and the other, reclining. He had a temple specially built as a shrine for these two statues in 1882. later the temple was partly destroyed by fire and in 1928 a new temple was completed on the present site.

Just opposite the temple gate, there stands a giant screen wall. Various designs, such as dragon, phoenix, elephant, crane and peony are carved on it. In Chinese legend, all these things are considered the symbols of fortune, wealth, longevity and auspiciousness. Chinese people used to set up a wall in front of the house so as to keep the evils away.

Now ladies and gentlemen, please turn around. Here we can see the temple gate. It is also called the Sanmen Gate, or say, the Gate of Three Extrications. The door in the middle is called the Door of Emptiness, to its right is the Door of Non-phenomenon, and to its left, the Door of Non-Action. Sanmen Gate is also called the Mountain Gate because most famous temples in China are found deep in mountains. But the Sanmen gate does not open except on the first and the fifteenth of every lunar month. Now this way to the entrance.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first hall is the Heavenly King Hall. We will use the rear door, please follow me.

(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the southern entrance)

Here we can find the statue of a fat and smiling monk with bared belly. He is Bodhisattva Maitreya. His smile is so contagious that you will smile with him and forget all your worries. So he is also called the Laughing Buddha. According to Buddhist scripture, he is now practicing Buddhism in the Tusita Heaven. After 4000 years, which is equal to 5.67 billion years on the earth, he will become successor to Sakyamuni under a Long Hua Tree in Hualin Garden. Hence another name the Future Buddha. But this statue we see here is not the real image of Bodhisattva Maitreya, it is just his incarnation.. it is said that During the Five Dynasties Period, 1000 years ago, there lived in Fenhua in Zhejiang Province a monk named Qi Ci, who always carried a wooden staff with a cloth sack on his shoulder. He often went around towns and in streets to beg alms. Therefore he became known as “the Cloth Sack Monk”. He always smiled and laughed, looking as happy as ever. When he was dying, he left the message saying that he was the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya. So his image is enshrined in the Buddhist Temple as the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya.

(on the eastern side of the Heavenly King Hall)

On the two sides of the hall are enshrined four statues. They are so-called Four Heavenly Kings. In the Buddhist legend, there is in the center of the world a highest mountain called Mount Sumeru. Halfway on it is a mountain called Mount Ghandara with four peaks. On each peak lives a Heavenly King protecting the Buddhist heaven. The first one is the Southern King---King of Developing Merits. His duty is to educate all living creatures and develop king-heartedness. He is holding a sword in his hand which can emit a ray to chop off the enemies’ heads. The one next to him is the Eastern King---King of Protection for Buddhism. He is holding in his hand a pipa, which is somewhat like a guitar. With this pipa, he offers music to the Buddha. Meanwhile this pipa is a magic weapon. It can send out a musical rhythm to defeat the enemy by tormenting brain and causing him to lose combatability. Now ladies and gentlemen, please come over to this side.

(on the western side of the Heavenly King Hall)

The first one on this side is the Northern King---King of Virtue. He is so called because of his virtue. He is holding a parasol-shaped stela in his hand. The parasol can be opened into a canopy in Buddhist processions. It is at the same time a magic umbrella. Once it is opened in the battle field, the sky turns dark and a wind-storm rises, defeating the enemy with a dizzy spell and then it closes up capturing all the enemies. Next to him is the Western King---King of Far Sight. He observes the world with his penetrating eyes. He is holding a dragon-shaped silk rope. The rope is actually a net, with which he converts people to Buddhism just like catching fish with a net. This dragon also has a magic power. It can spurt water from its mouth and drown the enemy in floods.

(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the rear door)

The Statue facing the rear door is Bodhisattva Skanda. He is always dressed in armour with a worrior’s club in his hand. Originally he was one of the eight heavenly generals under the Southern King of Developing Merits. Later he has been enshrined here because of his bravery. He is also a god of message, a fleet-foot runner, so when visitors come to the temple, he will immediately report to the Buddha in the Grand Hall.

Now ladies and gentlemen, that’s all for the Heavenly King Hall. Please follow me and look out the threshold and the steps.

Now we can see a giant tripod in the courtyard. It is actually a giant incense burner. It was donated by some Buddhist laymen who believed that by donating something the Buddha they can help purify the souls of their dead relatives from sins and relieve them from purgatory.

Now this is the main hall, known as the Grand Hall or Grand Hall of the Great Sage. It is the main structure in every Buddhist temple, where the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism is enshrined.

(in the Grand Hall)

Ladies and gentlemen, in the middle of the hall is the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. On his right is Medicine Buddha and on his left is Amitabha Buddha. Each is seated on a lotus blossom and has a back halo. Sakyamuni’s original name was Siddhartha Gautama. He was a contemporary of Confucius. He was born to a warrior’s family in the Himalayan foothill in ancient India, or say, in present-day Nepal. He spent his youth in great luxury. But he renounced the human world at the age of 29 in search of an ultimate solution to the problems of human sufferings. After six years of spiritual discipline he got enlightened at the age of 35. he spent the remaining 45 years of his life teaching his religion and establishing a community for monks to continue his work. He was entitled “Sakyamuni”, which means “the great sage of the Sakya Clan”. He died at the age of 80.

On his chest there is a sign that resembles a swastika but it has nothing to do with Hitler’s fascism because it is in an inverted order. It is actually a religious talisman used in ancient orient, symbolizing the concentration of happiness and auspiciousness.

The Medicine Buddha is responsible for the Eastern Bright World. Since he can relieve people of all pains and sufferings, he is called the Medicine Buddha. He is holding a wheel, which signifies the unremitting effort of converting people to Buddhism just like turning a wheel.

Amitabha Buddha is in charge of the Western Paradise. He is holding a golden lotus blossom stand with which he extradites Buddhist believers to the Western Pure Land, therefore he is also called the Buddha of Guidance.

In front of the Medicine Buddha is a hollow wooden fish. It is actually an instrument used by the monks to accompany the chanting of their prayers. But do you happen to know why it is in the pattern of a fish? Now let me tell you about it. The monks think that fish is the most diligent animal in the world because it never closes its eyes, therefore the image of the fish is used to advise people that they should practice Buddhism as diligently as the fish.

On both sides of the hall stand 20 Heavenly Gods, all protectors of Buddhist laws. They all bend slightly as if they are listening attentively to Sakyamuni’s preaching.

The first one on the right side is Brahma, the chief god of Brahmanism in ancient India. It was believed in ancient India that all living creatures in the world, including gods and men, were created by him and he was thus honored as the Great Creator. Next to him is Yamaraja, the God of Hell, who is in charge of the nether world.

The fourth one on this side is Goddess of Loving Children. There is an interesting story about her. It is said that before she became a goddess she was a wicked woman. She herself had many children, 500 in all, including 3 sons and 497 daughters. Her favorite child was her youngest son named Ai Nu, now standing by her side. As she always ate the children of other people, Buddha decided to convert her. One day, he hid Ai Nu in a jar. When the woman found her child missing she looked for him everywhere but could not find him. Then Buddha came up to her and said, “If you are worried when your child is missing, what about other mothers whose children you have eaten?” From then on she began to discipline herself and finally became a goddess.

This is the Emperor of the Solar Palace, or say the Chinese Apolo, opposite him is the Chinese Diana, the emperor of the Lunar Palace. The last statue on this side is the Dragon King.

(at the back of the Grand Hall)

Ladies and gentlemen, behind the statue of Sakyamuni there is a giant mural sculpture. In the middle is the statue of Bodhisattva Guanyin. Guanyin was originally named Guanshiyin but later abbreviated into Guanyin because the character “shi” was one of the characters in the Tang Emperor Li Shimin’s name and was considered a forbidden name. Guanyin often takes the image of a goddess in order to convert women to Buddhism. Actually he can incarnate into 32 images to convert people from all walks of life and relieve people from all kinds of sufferings. Any living creature in trouble needs only to recite his name and he will respond to the cry and readily come to help riding on the head of a huge turtle. That’s why he is described as a Bodhisattva of Great Mercy. By her two sides are her two disciples, San Cai the boy and Long Nu the girl. Above Guanyin is a statue of Sakyamuni when he was doing ascetic practices in a forest. A monkey on the right is offering preaches to him and a deer on the left is giving him milk to drink.

Now a few words about San Cai, the boy and Long Nu, the girl. It is said that when San Cai was born, a number of treasures came with him, hence his name. By the way, “Can” in Chinese means “wealth”. He was later converted by Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom, and went on a pilgrimage to the south in search of teaching. He was going to call on 53 teachers and then met Guanyin, hoping to obtain the guidance to buddhahood. There are altogether 53 statues on the mural sculpture, excluding the 18 arhats. They were all supposed to be San Cai’s teachers. He came to them one after the other. Guanyin was his 27th teacher. Long Nu, the daughter of Dragon King, was a genius. At the age of 8 she often attended lectures by Manjusri. Later she met the Buddha and attained buddhahood.

Below are 18 arhats, all disciples of Sakyamuni. According to Buddhist scripture, Sakyamuni asked them to stay permanently on the earth to help convert people to Buddhism. Arhats have three characteristics, namely, they can rid of all worries, they should be supported and offered by all people, and they enter nirvana once for all and never incarnate again.

(in the Hall of the Reclining Buddha)

Ladies and Gentlemen: in the middle of the hall we can see a jade statue of the reclining Buddha. This is Sakyamuni in his deathbed, or say, entering nirvana. We can see him looking slightly upward and reclining on his right arm. Some may ask why he looks so calm and carefree. It is said that in his entire life-time he had taught 500 disciples, therefore, he felt no worry because he firmly believed that his disciples would carry forward his principles and preach his doctrines to emancipate mankind. This statue, 96 cm long, is carved out of a single piece of jade. It was brought from Burma together with the other statue in sitting posture. The carving was exquisitely done with delicate features and a slender figure, it is considered a rare Buddhist relic, which contributes to Jade Buddha Temple’s reputation. Now ladies and gentlemen, over here we can see four pictures on the wall of the hall which describe the life story of Sakyamuni. The first one, “Tonsure”, describes Sakyamuni having his head tonsured and clothes changed into a monk’s robe when he came a monk at the age of 29; the second, “Enlightenment”, after six years ascetic practice he became enlightened and attained buddhahood at the age of 35; the third, “Preaching”, Sakyamuni is preaching to his first five disciples; and the fourth, “Nirvana”, Sakyamuni entered nirvana at the age of 80.

(before entering the Jade Buddha Chamber)

Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to visit the last main structure on the axis---the Jade Buddha Chamber. It is located on the second floor. Please do not take pictures or video tape-recording in the chamber.

(in the Jade Buddha Chamber)

Ladies and Gentlemen, the statue in front of us is the Jade Buddha in sitting posture. Since Buddhism is a leading religion in China, there are a great number of statues of Sakyamuni all over the country, and most of them are made out of stone, clay, or wood, but a jade statue of the Buddha of this size is rare. It is 1.92 meter in height and 1.34 meter in width. The jewels on his head, arms and feet are all genuine ones. They were donated by Buddhist believers. The statue was carved out of a single piece of jade. It is soft in luster, even in color, pure and flawless in texture and exquisite in workmanship. This statue reflects Sakyamuni’s getting enlightened. We can see that his left hand rests on his left knee showing his great determination of deep meditation while his right hand stretches out onto the ground indicating that he had devoted himself to the emancipation of all mankind and this could only be witnessed by the great earth. When monk Hui Gen found the jade in Burma, he had it excavated under the permission of the Burmese King and had the Tibetan artisans carve it into a Buddha Statue, so it is a crystallization of the friendship of different nations. This statue looks life-like, with gentle and soft features and is considered a precious relic of Buddhist art. This is the reason why the temple enjoys a high reputation.

In the cabinets on both sides are kept a complete set of Buddhist scripture, Da Zang Sutra, which was block-printed in 1870. this set of scripture covers Sakyamuni’s teachings by moth, Buddhist doctrines, and Buddhist theories.

篇4：兰州玉佛寺导游词

玉佛寺位于甘肃省兰州市城关区畅家巷，是甘肃省著名的汉传佛教寺院，被列为兰州市文物保护单位。玉佛寺属汉传佛教曹洞宗。该寺由当地曹姓大户捐资创建于清道光元年(18)。其前身为稍门寺白衣庵，后因供奉缅甸敬请的五尊大型汉白玉佛像，更名为玉佛寺;经历任住持的发展，规模不断扩大，成为弘化一方的道场。历史上，该寺出过不少明契法要、愿行堪称的僧人，著名的祖师有众成法师、吉云长老等。

各位游客：今天我们将要去参观的下一个景点是我们兰州的玉佛寺。顾名思义，玉佛寺，我们主要看什么呢?对，这位大姐说的对，就是看玉佛。我们去玉佛寺，在形式和内容上来说是看佛像，但是其目的是什么呢?就是为了拜佛!为什么我们好多人要去拜佛?我听到有人说是为了信佛，那是肯定。只有信佛的人，才要去拜佛，拜佛是信佛的一种表达方式啊。大家有人去过西藏，到西藏我们看到了藏族老百姓他们的拜佛方式——五体投地，佛教礼仪中的顶礼。我没看到了他们一天到晚在大昭寺门前没完没了磕长头，没完没了的转经。这种对信仰的虔诚，让我们倍受震撼。那今天我们也去虔诚一次。今天我们看的玉佛寺也是一座佛教寺院。大家知道把佛教列为国教的国家是哪个国家?答对有奖，晚餐我请他吃兰州非常有名的哈密瓜。对，泰国，也许我们有游客去过泰国，泰国的玉佛寺是世界上级别最高，规模最大的玉佛寺了。泰国玉佛寺位于曼谷大王宫的东北角，是泰国最著名的佛寺，也是泰国三大国宝之一。寺是泰国大王宫的一部分，面积约占大王宫的1/4，是泰国王族供奉玉佛像和举行宗教仪式的场所。泰国玉佛寺内的几块大瓷屏风上彩绘着中国《三国演义》的故事。今天我们参观的兰州玉佛寺是我们甘肃著名的汉传佛教寺院，被列为兰州市重点文物保护单位。兰州玉佛寺由当地曹姓大户捐资创建于清道光年间，就是元年(1821年)。

其前身为稍门寺白衣庵，后经历任住持的发展，规模不断扩大，成为弘化一方的道场。该寺现存主要建筑有天王殿、大雄宝殿、观音殿、地藏殿、弥勒殿等，为清道光元年所建。““””期间遭到破坏，80年代后寺院恢复开放，重兴殿宇。最后一次整修为1992年，因寺中供有由缅甸敬请的大型汉白玉佛像五尊，分别为释迦牟尼法像、释迦牟尼涅槃像、阿弥陀佛说法像、药师佛像及观音菩萨甘露净酒像，都是用缅甸优质汉白玉精雕而成，晶莹圆润，清净庄严。故，得名玉佛寺。此外尚供塑像48尊，最大的高3.3米，最小的80公分。寺中珍藏的唐朝释迦牟尼铜像一尊及随朝《金刚经》一部，历劫犹存，殊可宝贵。说到《金刚经》，也就说到了我们今天为啥来玉佛寺拜佛。拜佛到底是为了什么?我们凡人拜佛的意义何在?!读过《金刚经》后，我个人认为其核心内容不外乎这十六个字：“一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观。”这句话怎么理解呢?一切有为法，用我们马克思主义来讲，就是世界是物质的，物质是运动的，运动时有规律的。呵呵，也就是说世间万物独有一定的生存之道!如梦幻泡影，像露水闪电一样转瞬即逝，变化莫测，我们应该这样去看待一切。在我们现实生活当中，到底什么给我们带来了痛苦和烦恼?归根结底，是我们的心。因为在这个经济发展为核心的社会，我们执着的追求金钱，权利，爱情等等这些生不带来，死不带去的生外之物。我们被自己的贪婪，欲望，执着蒙蔽了双眼，看不清这个世界;看不清我们的心;看不到我们的明天;我们不知道自己真正想要的生活。使我们变得迷惘、害怕、痛苦......各位我们想不想远离恐惧，远离颠倒梦想，心无挂碍，无有恐惧，脱离苦海?想!......好，那我就告诉大家唯一的捷径——学佛!学习佛的精神和思想!那到底什么是佛?把这个佛字拆开来看，一个人字，一个弗字。弗，不是的意思。民间的说法就是不是凡人。

我们要跳出三界外，不在五行中，这样方可成佛。我们再科学一点解释一下什么是佛，“诸恶莫作，众善奉行，庄严国土，利乐有情。”这十六个字怎么理解呢?前两句话用我们儒家的话来讲就是“勿以恶小而为之，勿以善小而不为。”庄严国土，利乐有情——告诉我们一个人无论能力大小，活在这个世界上，就应该为家庭社会国家做贡献。爱家爱国，善待身边的每个人，这也是我们提倡的共建和谐社会。我相信只要我们每个人心存善念，帮助别人，我们的家园一定会美好，社会必将会和谐，大家说对不对.....什么是佛教?简单的说，佛教，即使佛陀的教育。那佛教这种教育体系，它的核心思想到底是什么呢?大家读一个知道佛教的核心思想就是四个字“苦、集、灭、道。”什么是苦，佛教认为，人生活在世界上就会受苦;集，告诉我们造成痛苦和烦恼的根源-——贪嗔痴三毒;灭，就是要我们熄灭心中的贪念，欲望和执着;道，我们一定要坚持走在正确的修行道路上，从恶如崩，从善如登啊，所以贵在坚持!我们看虽说是简单的四个字，却诠释了一种人生观，价值观，世界观。所以说佛教，是一种无神论，佛教里面的佛，是一种思想。佛教，这种思想体系博大精深，里面涵盖了哲学，社会学，心理学，自然科学，地理学等多种让我们认识人类和世界精华理论。因为时间关系，佛教就简单给大家介绍到这里，最后给大家分享两句佛教集言。首先，给大家分享‘智慧经’——也就是《般若波罗密多心经》里的一句话——“色不异空，空不异色，色即是空，空即是色，受、想、行、是，亦复如是!简单的说，就是世间万物为空。第二句，“春有百花秋有月，夏有凉风冬有雪，若无闲事挂心头，便是人生好时节。”谢谢各位!希望在日后的旅游和生活中给大家带来更多的感悟和快乐!

ladies, gentlemen,

welcome to the“ land of fish and rice” - - suzhou.suzhou ,one of the chinese'“cities of gardens”tops all others in both number and artistry of gardens.starting from pijiang garden of the eastern jin dynasty,suzhou's art of gardening has undergone a history of1500 years.the concept of suzhou classical gardens has gone beyond the city the regions of the yangtze.

the four classical gardens of suzhou are the surging waves pavilion.the lion grove garden garden .the humble administrator'garden.the lingering garden.in a nutshell ,represent the different architectural styles of song.yuan.ming.qing dynasties.

my friends, now we are in the lingering garden. it is located in liuyuan road, suzhou city. it was built by xutaishi in ming dynasty. at that time it was named eastern garden.

there are three treasures in the lingering garden. the first treasure are stones.the stone in front of us is the most distinguishing stone “guangyun peak”. with a weight of 5 tons and a height of 6.5 meters, it is one of the four wonderful stones in the regions of the yangtze.

the calligrapher and painter mifu in song dynasty sum up the features of lake tai stones as the following: slender ,wrinkling , leaking , penetrating. just take the “guangyun peak” as an example and you will have some idea about the features of the stones. in addition, it is endowed with the personal characters of faithfulness because of its nature of stiffness and unchangeable outlook. thus it has been worshipped by people since old time.

the second treasure is “five peak fairy hall” “five peaks fairy hall” gets the reputation of “the first hall in the regions of yangtze” . the name comes from the lines of the great poet libai. the four chinese characters on the plaque were written by wuda---the famous calligrapher. nanmu hall used to be the place for important banquets and ceremonies, such as birthday parties, weddings , funerals .

the hall is divided into two sections__the south section and the north section. the south section host male guests, while the south section host female guests.

the hall is elegantly designed with oversized windows on east and west sides . through the windows, the outside sceneries of the two courtyards can be extended as parts of the hall, thus to ensure enough lights into the building.

five peaks fairy hall was built out of luxury materials. beams and pillars are all nanmu, which is a kind of timber only produced in china. that is also the reason why “five peaks fairy hall” is also commonly called “nanmu hall”.

the “fossil fish” we are enjoying is the third treasure of lingering garden. it is a natural marble picture. in the middle of the picture are the clutters of mountains which are partly hidden and partly visible; below are flowing streams,above are floating clouds; right on the middle top is a round white spot like a sun or a moon.it is a picture drawn by the nature. the marble stone has a diameter of 1 meter or so and a thickness of 15 mms . it was produced in diancang mountain, yunnan province. it is a wonder how such big a stone was delivered in a good condition from yunnan which is over one thousand mile away from suzhou.

china is most famous for its elegant classical gardens.

among these, the lingering garden is one representative. if you would like to know more about chinese culture, we welcome you to visit suzhou again.
