From June 25 to June 28, 2009, we went for a trip to Putuo Mount.
(From URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Putuo)
Mount Putuo is an island located to the south-east of Shanghai, in Zhoushan prefecture of Zhejiang province, China. It is famous in Chinese Buddhism, and is considered the bodhimanda of Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin), a revered Bodhisattva in many parts of East Asia. Mount Putuo is one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, the others being Mount Wutai, Mount Jiuhua, and Mount Emei (Bodhimandas for Manjushri, Ksitigarbha, and Samantabhadra, respectively).
The name Putuo derives from “Potalaka” the mountain residence of Guanyin in the Avatamsaka Sutra.
