The mountain is a famous one, and the temple is renowned!
This mountain sat on an island surrounded by the sea. The scenery was enchanting and unique, historically acclaimed as "the most tranquil place on earth."
The mountain's golden sands, bizarre rocks, caverns, tidal sounds, and illusions merged seamlessly, creating a landscape that uniquely combined the beauty of both mountain and sea.
However, a catastrophe destroyed it all.
The abbot of Puji Temple walked among the devastated courtyards of Mount Putuo when he suddenly slipped and nearly fell forward.
Fortunately, a bespectacled monk nearby, with quick eyes and quicker hands, managed to steady him just before he fell.
"Be careful, Abbot!"
The abbot, already in his fifties, was dressed in an immaculate Buddhist robe and kasaya, spotless and exuding a serene dignity; he seemed less a monk and more a scholarly official.
His once ruddy and plump face was now gaunt and pallid.
