World Buddhism Culture Festival Held on Mount Wutai
2004/09/01
The traditionally sacred Mount Wutai is hosting the 2004
World Buddhism Culture Festival, which started August 13 and
runs for a whole month. Seminars on Buddhist culture, Kiddush
and an arts expo have made up the largest part of the
activities for this holy festival. Buddhist cultural relics and
Buddhist food are also on display at famous temples on the
mountain, such as the Xiantong Temple. Disciples and visitors
have also had a chance to experience performances by Buddhist
music bands from South Korea and China's Shao Lin Temple, and
of course from temples on the mountain itself.
Mount Wutai, or "Five Terrace Mountain," is located in North
China's Shanxi Province and has been a Buddhist pilgrimage site
for many centuries.
