Pu Tuo Mountain Monastery Hall
The Monastery Hall is a general term for temple grounds and religious sites, representing the guardian deities of Buddhist monasteries. "Guardian Deity of the Monastery" (伽蓝神), in the narrow sense, refers to the protector deity of the monastery’s land; in the broader sense, it encompasses all heavenly benevolent spirits that support the Buddhist dharma. The Guanlan Bodhisattva statue we see wears a round-collared, loose-fitting deep green robe, with a suit of armor draped over the chest, presenting an image of splendor and grandeur. In addition to the flying dragon patterns on the abdomen and knees, the robe is also adorned with cloud motifs scattered across its surface, as well as petal patterns along the sleeves and hem, decorated in red and orange hues. An additional outer robe is layered on top.
