A cultural excursion to Buddhist China of the Middle Ages

5.00During this tour I was able to get to know the rock carvings at two locations in Beim. Baoding was particularly impressive. There a very large area was worked about 1000 years ago by gifted stonemasons. This resulted in countless sculptures, carved out of the rock walls, which are supposed to bring Buddhism closer to ordinary people. What was extraordinary for me was not only the giant sleeping Buddha, but also the tablets about heaven and hell, which were dotted with many small figures. I personally find the depiction of the deadly sins of alcoholism and food waste particularly successful. My guide Isa explained the reliefs in detail and gave me a very good insight into the way Buddhism thinks and in particular into the peculiarities of Chinese Buddhism. We had some exciting discussions looking at these deeply religious works of art. By the way, they are surrounded by very beautiful, lush green parks. If you are interested in cultural history, you should definitely visit Auch.
Great experience!
