Excerpt characterizing sandal buddha
"Oh, it would be so horns ..." she began, and, without having agreed from excitement, graceful movement (like everything she did when it) tilting his head and gratitude to him, went for aunt.In the evening of this day, Nikolai did not go to visit anywhere and stayed at home, in order to end some scores with the sellers of horses. When he committed the case, it was too late to go somewhere, but it was too early to go to bed, and Nikolai went to go back and forth on the room, thinking about his life that he rarely happened to him.
Princess Marya made a pleasant impression under Smolensky. The fact that he met her then in such special conditions, and the fact that it was at one time that his mother pointed to him as a rich party, they did what he drew special attention to her. In Voronezh, during his visit, it was not only a pleasant impression, but strong. Nikolai was struck by the special, moral beauty, which he noticed this time in it. However, he was going to leave, and he left him to regret that leaving Voronezh, he deprived the case to see the princess. But the current meeting with Prince Maria in the Church (Nikolai felt it) sat down deeper into his heart, than he foresaw it, and deeper than he wanted for his calmness. This is a pale, thin, sad face, this radiant look, these quiet, graceful movements and most importantly - this deep and tender sadness, expressed in all the features of her, worried him and demanded his participation. In men, Rostov could not tolerate the expression of the Higher, spiritual life (because he did not love Prince Andrew), he contemptuously called it with philosophy, dreaming; But in the princess Marya, it was in this sorrows that showed the depth of this alien to Nicholas of the Spiritual World, he felt irresistible attractiveness.
"The wonderful girl should be! That's the Angel! He said himself with himself. - Why am I not free, why did I hurried with Sonya? " And he involuntarily introduced a comparison between two: poverty in one and wealth in another those spiritual gifts that Nikolai had no and that was why he appreciated so highly. He tried to imagine that it would be if he was free. How would he make her an offer and would it be his wife? No, he could not imagine it. He was made terribly, and no clear images were presented to him. With Sonya, he has long ago am a future picture, and all this was simple and clearly, precisely because all this was invented, and he knew everything that was in Sona; But with Prince Marya, it was impossible to imagine the future life, because he did not understand her, but only loved.
Dreaming about Sona had something funny, toy. But thinking about the princess Marya was always difficult and a little scary.
"How she prayed! He remembered. - It was seen that the whole soul was in prayer. Yes, this is the prayer that shifts the mountains, and I am sure that it will be performed prayer. Why am I not praying for what I need? He remembered. - What I need? Freedom, junction with Sonya. She said the truth, "he remembered the words of the governors," besides misfortune, nothing will be from what I get married on her. Confusion, Maman Mountain ... business ... confusion, terrible confusion! Yes, I do not like her. Yes, I don't like how it is necessary. Oh my God! Display me from this terrible, hopeless position! - He began to suddenly pray. - Yes, the prayer will move the mountain, but you have to believe and not so pray, as we prayed to the children with Natasha that the snow is made by sugar, and run on the yard, whether sugar is made from the snow. No, but I am not praying for trifles now, "he said, putting the corner the tube and, folding his hands, becoming in front. And, by the memoir about the princess Marya, he began to pray as he had not prayed for a long time. He had tears in his eyes and throat, when a laurel was entered into the door with some kind of papers.
- Fool! What we climb when you do not ask! - said Nikolai, quickly change the situation.
"From the governor," Lavrushka said with his voice, "Culper arrived, a letter to you.
- Well, well, thanks, go!
Nikolai took two letters. One was from the mother, the other from Sony. He learned them on the handwriting and printed the first letter of Sony. He did not have time to read a few lines, as his face turned pale and his eyes frightened and joyfully revealed.
- No, it can not be! - he said out loud. Unable to sit in place, he with a letter in his hands, reading him. Became walking around the room. He ran the letter, then read it once, the other, and, lifting his shoulders and collective her hands, he stopped in the middle of the room with an open mouth and stopped her eyes. What he just prayed about, with confidence that God will fulfill his prayer, was fulfilled; But Nikolai was surprised by this as if it was something extraordinary, and as if he never expected this, and as if it was exactly what it was so quick, argued that it did not happen from God he asked And from ordinary randomness.
The one seemed insoluble, the knot, who connected freedom of Rostov, was allowed by this unexpected (as it seemed to Nikolai), who did not cause Sony's writing. She wrote that the last unhappy circumstances, the loss of almost the entire property of growth in Moscow, and more than once, the desires of the Countess that Nikolay married the Princess Bolkonskaya, and his silence and coldness lately - all this together made her decide to renounce him Promises and give him complete freedom.
"It was too hard for me to think that I could be the cause of grief or discord in the family, which I treated me," she wrote, "and my love has one very goal happiness of those I love; And therefore I beg you, Nicolas, consider yourself to be free and know that in spite of everything, no one is more stronger to love you like your Sonya. "
Sandal Buddha
in Buryat Zandan-Zhuu, Sandalus Vladyka - A unique and very ancient statue, a well-known relics of the Buddhist world.
This sculpture of Buddha Shakyamuni 2 meters 18 cm high is made of sandalwood, as the legend says, about the V century BC, by order Raja Uddiyana.
There is an opinion divided by the majority that it is the first and only statue made in the life of the Buddha.
In Buddhist tradition, she equates to the living Buddha and carries a limitless blessing into the world.
Currently, Sandal Buddha is recognized in Russia by a monument of culture of federal significance.
The history of the appearance and the path
About how the very first of the images of Shakyamuni Buddha appeared, there are different points of view and many legends. In the Indian version it is said that he was fulfilled by Vishwamitra, while Buddha gave a teaching. He cut out a statue of sandalwood, looking at the water reflection, since bright radiance proceeded from the most enlightened.
It is also known to mention in the history of the Buddha Shakyamuni, indicating the existence of a statue arising from his life and known as "an image from Uddiyna", a statue made at the request of the ruler of this amazing ancient Buddhist country.
It is said that this sculptural portrait radiated "Divine Light".
In the late sutra, Mahayana is written about him: "Maidgaleyana-Putra, a follower of the Buddha, suffered an artist in heavenly spaces, where Buddha Shakyamuni retired for three months to convey the teachings of his mother. There, the artist dispersed the excellent signs of the Body Buddha and captured them in the form of a statue of sandalwood. When Tathagata returned from the heavenly palaces, the image from the sandalie welcomed Mr. "(3). Here we are talking about Sandalov Buddha.
According to A.A.Terenteyev, according to the Chinese translation of Ecottar-Agama-Sutra (from Anuttara-Nima), outlined by the Thara monk Dharmanandi (385 AD), the history of the statue of Zandan-Zhuu is:
Buddha Shakyamuni was in the heavens of the carcass, preaching the dharma of his mother Maye, which was reborn there after death. At this time, Raja prasatively wanted to see the enlightened lord. Then the closest student of the Buddha - Mudghalin, who reached wonderful abilities, suffered masters to the Buddha, so that they could see him, and on returning the statue of the natural value from the sandalwood "Goshirsha".
When Buddha Shakyamuni returned, a statue greeting him, made him six steps toward him, and this was the basis of the prophecy of the Buddha about this statue: it will move to the north, and where it will be, the Buddhism should be expected.
After a century, the Buddha statue really left India.
In Chinese sources, information about its further paths in the northern direction are mentioned.
China
So in the IV century, Kumarayan's monk from Kashmir, wanting to save the precious statue during the bloody local wars, took her to Central Asia. He settled in the oasis city of the Great Silk Road called a bunch where he married the sister of the local ruler of Jeva and became a spiritual mentor. From this time, Buddhism began to flourish there. The son of that monk Kumaradi grown in the situation, favorable learning Dharma, and became the famous Buddhist sage. His glory was so loud that in 384, the troops were sent to Him from China with the aim of capturing Kumarajivi. Together with him, China was taken to China and the statue of Sandalov Buddha. From that time, China began to accumulate Buddhist wisdom in himself.
Tibet
From China, the statue went to Tibet at the beginning of the VIII century. Then the Chinese and Nepalese princess Buddhists married the Tibetan Tsar of the Sronzangambo and brought Buddhist Relics into the country, among whom was the statue of Sandal Buddha. Nepalese Princess Bhrikuti was considered the embodiment of the green container, and the Chinese Princess Wen-Chen - the embodiment of the White Tara. Already at the next ruler of Tibet - TisronDesen Buddhism became a state religion in this country.
Mongolia
According to other Chinese sources, during the Board of Genghis-Khan, Sandalla Buddha was in Mongolia, at that time the first contacts of the Mongols were taking place with Buddhist philosophy, who later passed on to the adoption of Buddhism at the state level.
From Mongolia, the statue returned to China. She was kept in the province of Lee, in the temple buddhist monasterybuilt specifically for her - Sandan-Sunda "Monastery of Sandal Buddha". In the XIX century, this monastery was located on the territory of the capital of China. All Buddhist pilgrims from Mongolia, Buryatia and Tibet worshiped a wonderful statue, visiting Beijing.
Russia
From China in 1901 the statue went to Transbaikalia, and since then does not leave Russia.
This happened because of our Buryat Cossacks, which turned out to be at the time in China, and how exactly it is not known.
Orientalist and Buddhist V.M.Montlevich wrote: "But the scraps of information about the abduction itself are preserved, and this information is more or less reliable, because they told them in 1969, the famous Russian orientalist Boris Ivanovich Pankratov, thirty-two years lived in China (since 1916 in 1948). "
In 1890-1901, the Etoeuan uprising in Beijing broke out when the secret society I-He-Quyan "Kulak in the Name of Justice and Consent" organized unrest in the country, widely known as a boxing uprising.
In June 1901, Beijing was captured by the rebels, burned and crushed.
The world community was rigoried to the uprising, the rebels were destroyed by the united forces of England, Germany, Russia, Japan and France in September 1901. In these events, our Buryat Cossacks took part in this difficult time in Beijing.
According to one of the versions, during a fire made a precious statue from the monastery, and thus saved from death, then in the winter of 1901, as a trophy was taken to their native Buryatia. In another version, the sandalwist statue was bought by Lamos of the Egitu district Datsan during an uprising and hit Enthun due to the incredible efforts of the sorce-lades of the Egitu district Datsan Gombo Dorzho Erdyneev and many other people who risen their lives, with huge precautions of it from China. So or otherwise, The precious statue of Sandal Buddha went even further north, and turned out to be at the beginning of the 20th century in Transbaikalia, in the Egieta Dacan of Russia. At the same time, a metallic copy of the statue was prudently made, which was placed on the review in a special dougan temple, as an object of worship and worship, and the original was reliably hidden. In search of the famous statue, Japanese experts arrived in Buryatia, which reached the statue of Located in Egieta Datsan. At the sight of a metal copy, they have suffered a strong disappointment, they were forced to leave with anything. Until 1935, the statue was reliably hidden in Buryatia, while in Russia did not come tragic for Buddhism the times of anti-religious policy, when Datsans were destroyed, many valuable relics were destroyed, and the lamas were repressed. But the statue survived and in this difficult time. She fell into the number of relics that were transferred to the funds of the new anti-Religious Museum, which were in the Tereyvudinsk Church of the Terevdinsk (now it is the National Museum of the Republic of Buryatia (Ulan-Ude), where it was kept under the glass in the closet on the second floor. At the same time On fire and without complying with the proper storage conditions, a huge number of wonderful religious relics and works on September 25, 1991, the statue was returned by Buddhists, submitted to the same Egita Datsan, where it was openly honored a metal copy. For the first time in Russia, only now sandalwing Buddha appeared before People. This is regarded as a good omen for the development of Dharma not only in Buryatia, but also in our country. The statue contains a strong blessing of the Buddha, creating favorable conditions for the prosperity of the Buddha teachings - Dharma, awakening interest. 
Buddhist shrine of Russia
For some time the statue was kept in the Temple-Dugan of the Egituiskian Dácan in Buryatia, in a small wooden single-storey building, unacceptable for storing cultural and historical values. It was impossible to create appropriate conditions for the storage of the global Buddhist shrine.
Therefore, the Buddhist traditional Sangha Russia decided to build a special premises for storing a statue with maintaining a permanent microclimate. For 15 years, funds were paid for the construction of a palace church for Sandal Buddha. Thanks to donations of the parishioners of the Egituy Datsan and individual sponsors, the new temple of Zandan Zhuu was heated on July 25, 2008. People from different regions of our country came to his consecration ceremony. The older generation of Buryat, movable by desire to support and continue the traditions of his ancestors, especially for this celebration awling new festive national costumes. From noon until eight o'clock in the evening, the lives of people who came to Dace to see the Buddha.
The long way of the wonderful statue of Zhuu Zhuu from India across China, Tibet, Mongolia, to Russia, from the country to the country, in the northern direction for centuries has become evidence of the execution of the prophecy of the Buddha.22 April 2003, a decision was made by the Buddhist traditional Sangha Russia "to approve as Buddhist shrine of Russia: Statue Zandan Zhuu,

Thousands of believers presented an offering a great teacher [photo, video]
On Saturday, September 10, the ritual of consecration of the image of Buddha Shakyamuni, a 33 meter height, carved on the Bayan-Honggor, held a ritual of consecration. Last year, Bayangol was erected on the hill near the village of Bayangol, made on special market in India, and consecrated three reconciliation stupas. Next year, bayangola residents asked to help build 8 stars around the lake. In Suburgan, it is planned to lay 4 thousand figurines of different Buddhist deities.
Buddha Shakyamuni on Mount Bayan Honggor near the village of Bayangol - the creation is unique. He will assign the title of the biggest image of Buddha in Russia and will enter the list of the biggest images of Buddha in the world.
Idea, raise giant BuddhaThey expressed the inhabitants of Bayangola on a rural gathering. With this initiative, they appealed to Datsan at Bald Mountain in Ulan-Ude, Eshe Loda Rinpoche. The rector of the national proposal supported. Moreover, as it turned out, it was his old dream.
Big Buddha - a great benefit for all Russia
"About 15-16 years ago, we first visited the" heart "of Baikal," Olkhon Island, passed on the boat along the Irkutsk shore, "recalls the closest student Rinpoche Geshe-Lharamba Tenzin Lama, -" Majestic rocks growing out of water stroits and fixed in the sky , Impressed Baghshu with their beauty and power. And then he was born the idea - to make a big statue of the world precious teacher Buddha Shakyamuni in the rock. AT asian countries This is an ancient tradition, and in Russia there was nothing like that. "
Help Website: The biggest and old buddha in the world carved in the rock is located in the Chinese province of Sichuan. Its height is 71 meters, age - about 1200 years. For the construction took almost 90 years. The biggest statue in the world is also Buddha. And also in China, in Henan Province. The 128-meter monument depicts Wairooman Buddha, one of the five sacred Buddhas, personifying wisdom. The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a grand shrine came to the Chinese after in 2001, Taliban Barbarian destroyed two huge statues of Buddha in Afghanistan. Their age dated 6th century of our era.
"Then we began to look for a suitable object. On Baikal it was difficult to make purely technically. In other areas, I also searched. That is too low, it is too high, then the rocks came across too relief. And last year, when we installed the Buddha statue under Bayangol, but a small, meter, made on special order in India from Onyx, I drew attention to the next rock. It was perfect for the embodiment of the teacher's ideas - even, beautiful and high enough, about fifty meters. And the main thing is ideally located!
Usually, Buddhist shrines are asking "face" to the south, whether temples, stupa or statues. We, consciously wanted to move away from this tradition a little and make the Buddha's gaze to send the side of Moscow and other large Russian cities. In such a difficult time it was just necessary to do for the good of the whole country and all living beings! At all times, the construction of statues of Buddha, Stairs, Dacanov was considered a very beneficial matter. In places where they appear, everything comes to harmony. In nature, various kinds of cataclysms are stopped, mutual understanding comes into relations, they are less ill and die from accidents, all living things acquire peace and peace, "says Tenzin Lama.
"But the teacher then said that still did not come. And now, a year later, the inhabitants of the Khorinsky district themselves came out with this proposal. Bayan-Honggor's rock for a long time, Horinsky Buryat is considered a sacred place. Here the inhabitants of the bayan-goal 2 times a year - in the summer and on the second day of Sagalgana - they spend oboo, and during the year they often come to bow the shrines. There are so-called munhans - small houses in which Thanki and the figurines of Buddhist deities are located. Last year, the Buddha statue and 3 stupas appeared. Rinpoche was thinking for a long time, and eventually agreed. In addition, it is the birthplace of his indigenous teacher.
Help Website: Honorable Eshe Loda Rinpoche was born in Tibet in 1943. Three years of age, Elo Rinpoche was recognized as the fourth reincarnation. In Tibet, such people are called Tuluk - it is believed that they consciously continue the chain of their rebirths, devoting to the life of the help of all living beings.
From seven years, Eloz Rinpoche devoted himself to monasticism and studying Buddhist philosophy. In 1959, in connection with the occupation of Tibet, China left the motherland and, through the kingdom, Bhutan moved to India, where he continued his studies.
Lama Dulva-Hambo Tuben Choki, Buryat by National Nationality, is a radical teacher. The famous Master Tantra taught Elo Rinpoche Vinai course - Monastic discipline. Also, under the leadership of Lama from Buryatia - the descent Agriva Nima, in 1979 elo Rinpoche defended the title of "Geshe-Lharamba" - the highest Buddhist degree. In 1993, at the request of the Buryat clergy and, on behalf of His Holiness, he arrived in Buryatia, in the Ivolginsky Dacan for teaching in the Buddhist Institute Tashichoynokhrling. Since then, Esche Rinpoche remained to live and work in Buryatia, for the benefit of all living beings and the prosperity of Dharma.
In 1999, on the audience, Dalai Lama, Elo Rinpoche conveyed the requests of believers from Buryatia about the opening of the Buddhist center and received the blessing of His Holiness to the beginning of construction. After 5 years, in 2004, the opening of Datsan "Rinpoche Bagsha" on Bald Mountain in Ulan-Ude took place.
Imagine the idea was quick enough. All necessary coordination passed. There were sponsors, masters, artists. Local residents Actively helped during construction. The image of Buddha Shakyamuni was made as magnificently as possible, but with minimal impact on nature. Carving a full statue or bas-relief did not. Only removed the upper layer of the rock, the contours of the World Teacher of Smear in the Pose of Lotus were contacted and painted painted.
Image height - exactly 33 meters. In Buddhism, this number also has its own sacred meaning. It is believed that there is the most high world On Earth, the so-called traystrormsh - "Peace of 33 of the Gods" or "Collection of 33 of the Gods", which is on the top of the mountain of the Sumery. Thurastrium is often mentioned in Buddhist texts, when the Buddha goes back to thirty-three gods, or the gods themselves are descending to the land for meeting with Buddha.
"The creation of the statue of the Buddha Shakyamuni is not accidental. Buddha Shakyamuni - Higher Nirmanic, was born in our world, made twelve feats, and including the teaching wheel. All the time, while the Buddha's teaching is in the world, it is nothing with an incomparable limitless medicine against diseases of our oversities, suffering. Let the statue of the Buddha Shakyamuni become a symbol of the unification of our clean intentions in the implementation of the teachings and the symbol that the Buddhist doctrine is Dharma, which Buddha has been given 2500 years ago, and now dwells in our world, "says Teacher.
At the ritual of the frame, about 4 thousand people were present. From the Square of Pillarnikov Soviets, 80 buses were exported for free. After the ritual of consecration, a festive concert and sports competitions took place.
Interview of the honorable Eshest Rinpoche:
- At the end of the ritual, the image of the Buddha was raised a symbolic million colors? Is this some tradition?
When the Buddha statue is created, the Buddha image is a big virtue. And when an image of such a gigantic size is created, it is also a huge, incomparable virtue! Accordingly, the more, richer and more beautiful to offer, the more we accumulate good merit. And flowers in Buddhism are a traditional type of offerings, along with white food, sweets and fruits.
- Why the height of the image of the Buddha is 33 meters?
In Buddhist tradition, there is such a good attitude to the number "33", even there is a monastery of the gods of 33 deities. Initially, it was not planned to make an image of such a big, but when I measured the rock, it turned out that it was about 55 meters high. Then they decided to make exactly 33 meters. Very harmonious fit. This is also a kind of sign.
