水陆庵

ShuiLuAn Temple is located in LanTian County about 60 kilometers to the southeast of Xi'an downtown. This temple was built more than one thousand years ago and during the Ming Dynasty, it served as one of the royal temples because the emperor of Ming ordered that monks here to bless his express mother for her good fortune and good health.The most amazing part is that of the the chapels has almost three thousand figurines carved and hanging inside the building. they are telling Buddhist stories, all these little figures are vivid, and colored from ancient times. Over a thousand years ago, artisans made tiny glazed balls and put them in the statue to symbolize their eyeballs,even today, they are still shiny like real.The backdrop of the temple is the beautiful QinLing Mountain Range ( dividing line of North China and South China). Nearby the ShuiLuAn Temple are some local farming villages that shows the real farming life of people in North China, Other than visiting the monastery, it is also very interesting to walk around in the farming village and have a touch of the life of Chinese people.

不大的一间寺院竟如此令人啧啧称奇，现存有明代雕塑群三千七百多尊，佛像各不相同精巧细致的密布在整个墙壁的四面，不仅令人惊叹雕塑者的超高技艺同时也会对佛教艺术有更深更直观的感受，我们去的时候殿内还有3名外国人在墙壁上修缮雕塑，工具和程序之复杂也令人赞叹外国友人的技术对佛教艺术的虔诚奉献。佛相是不能拍照，只有切身体会才能更加震撼于艺术的高超。

About 30 miles SE of Xian, Shuilu was built around 600 AD and is best know for the more than 3000 carved clay figures from the Ming Dynasty. Each small figures is vividly colored and apparently individualized. Didn't see any foreign tourists there during our visit. In some ways, the figures remind some of Mogao caves, but obviously not on as grand a scale as any of the four main grottoes I've seen. On the other hand, less time required to digest, and near a large city.

#西安行#蓝田日暖玉生烟。水陆庵。六朝古刹，几经波折才到的地方，很美的地方，青山绿水环绕。殿内的彩色泥壁塑很是震撼。

水陆庵的泥塑很精巧、古人的技艺果然了得。秦始皇陵地宫内是飘浮的、神话说的是真的，只不过是水银蒸汽、至今还未有技术保护地宫，所以没有挖掘。@嗨霸V @陈悦颖啊颖 @魚魚不轉彎需要扭轉 @杭州大象画室

J'ai apprécié ce temple car il est en-dehors de sentiers battus, et a priori pas fréquenté par les cars de touristes. En fait, lors de mon passage, il n'y avait pas le moindre visiteur, c'était très reposant après la visite de plusieurs temples envahis de gens à Pékin et ailleurs. Je pouvais enfin admirer les statues en toute sérénité. Beau grand Bouddha couché.

阿拉拉~今天被我爸骗到水陆庵这么个鸟不拉屎的地方，没想到里面的佛像还挺萌的，黑白无常俩好基友的长舌头太戳中笑点了哈哈，于是还见到了至今为止我看见过的最大的卧佛（……）有图有真相= =

蓝田水陆庵的佛像，很是有现代气息哦，而且天气好好，阳光灿烂！ #美图秀秀iPhone版#@方形面条狗N @cindy_云 @crystal_贝 @荷兰鸢尾 @小锐_RR

休闲的半日游，水陆庵，泥塑佛像很让人震撼，出了蓝田之后的山水景色更让人流连忘返。更难得的是结识了一位佛家的有缘人，跟我说了很多充满智慧的话语，另以＂阿弥陀佛＂护身符结缘。愿人们都幸福安康！

上午8时，我们参观了蓝田的水陆庵，水陆庵始建于唐末，当时叫水陆殿，殿中有3800尊佛像。
