by Admin on 16/6/09 A Rock of Jigong
Jigong (济公, 1148 - 1209) is a legendary Chinese Buddhist monk with distinct otherworldly personality and incredible superman quality. The sole objective of his earthly existence is to relieve sufferings of other people and to help shaping a fairer world. For 800 years since he ended his earthly journey, the legend of Jigong has become indispensable part of Chinese cultural tradition. Last month in his native land, Celestial Platform (天台) of Zhejiang Province (浙江), a tourist discovered that a part of the hill uncanningly resembles the image of Jigong.
