the Relic Stupa, Tanzhe Temple, China - 28th February 2015

By: goomymia

Dear mama papa and little owner,
The photo below is the Relic Stupa of Huayan. :)
Huayan founded Tanzhe Temple thousands years ago.
Mia told me a legend about him.

Once upon a time, Huanyan was riding a dragon traveling around the world. One day, he found a prefect place in mountains to build a monastery. But he also saw 9 dragons were living there who seemed in charge of this beautiful area. Dragons are well known as their bad tempers.
Huayan saw a black dragon producing water and having fun himself in a deep lake. :stare:
He spent some time observing the black dragon and saw him transformed to a beauty tricked villagers who came begging for rain. By the way it was so dry as a deserted place down there not far from those dragons.
Huayan can't stand this anymore, he tried to negotiate with the black dragon but failed.
Ummm...then came the fight. :thinking:
Yes Huayan beat the black dragon. The black dragon promised to make it rain and safe the village, he even turned to be the decoration on the roof of Mahavira Hall after the project completion.
Well dragons are dragons, how boring it would be to merely stay on the roof. The black dragon planed to escape at a thundery night. Unfortunately he was caught by Kangxi Emperor who was just about to visit the temple. The Emperor gave order to add an extra structure on the roof of Mahavira Hall to chain the dragon.

Oh poor guy, I just saw him on the roof! I should have talked to him to comfort him. :(
