萱萱的日记台湾:无锡灵山大佛（四）巨佛

无锡灵山大佛（四）巨佛——原创作品

       爬上了大佛脚下的216级的“登云道”。中间有七个平台，可谓“救一生灵，胜造七级浮屠”。那七幅巨型石刻，组成了一副灵山史卷，记载灵山从唐玄奘弟子窥基法师开寺弘法到灵山大佛开光的重要历史。登云道上的一口古井，称为“六角井”，据说茶圣陆羽曾品过井中的泉水，认为甘洌清甜，非常推崇，被誉为江南十大名泉之一。爬过了这216级台阶，就消除了人生的108种烦恼。哎呀，一生烦恼多多，我就是没有数过，啥时候看看佛书，知道哪些烦恼，要是都属于我的，以后就天天爬这些台阶啦。

顺着路牌指示，先进了佛教博物馆，然后上电梯看大佛。那个镇馆之宝——用出土的汉代金丝楠木雕刻的万寿山五百罗汉堂都没有注意。真是遗憾！

        出了电梯，到了佛脚，佛祖参天！只见袈裟不见头。灵山大佛高88米，连同三层基座在内通高101.5米。比四川乐山大佛还高出17米，是世界上最高的青铜佛像。灵山大佛总共耗用铜725吨，佛体由2000块铸造铜壁板拼装焊接而成的，每块铜壁板的壁厚为6-8毫米，最大的面积有20多平方米，全部铜板展开面积可达到9000多平方米，约有一个半足球场大小。这些铜壁板焊缝总长度竟达35公里。大佛的莲花座共有四层莲花瓣组成，每层22瓣，共88瓣。大佛是由南京著名雕塑家吴显林先生设计，赵朴初先生定稿。大佛慈颜细目，广视众生，似笑非笑，未语先闻。大佛右手造型为佛教“施无畏印”，左手为“与愿印”，代表除却众生痛苦，给与众生欢乐。佛脚巨大，大家都听导游的话，上去的人纷纷抱抱佛脚祈求平安，结果不见佛脚只见人，挤在人缝里摸一下佛脚就算了了心愿。
