265 灵山胜境
Lingshan Mountain attractions
无锡灵山的历史可追溯到1000多年前的唐代，相传玄奘西天取经归来，游历来到坐落于太湖之滨的小灵山，但见这里层峦叠翠、景色非凡，大为赞赏，曰“无殊西竺国灵鹫之胜也”，遂将此山命名小灵山。灵山大佛就矗立在小灵山上。
 The history of Liangshan Mountain of Wuxi dates back to the Tang Dynasty 1,000 years ago. Legend has it that the famous monk Xuanzang, on returning from his pilgrimage to India, happened to visit the mountain sitting close to Taihu Lake was loud with marvels at the rolling green peaks and exceptional scenery, and the mountain was then named Small Lingshan Mountain. And the Lingshan Buddha Statue is perched here.
我们的车沿着太湖缓缓驶向灵山景区，大佛金铜色的身影在丛林叠翠间若隐若现，只见它左手下垂、右手朝上，与开阔荡漾的太湖水遥遥相望。据资料介绍，灵山大佛通高88米，比四川乐山大佛还要高17米，是迄今为止我国最高的巨型佛像。它所在的小灵山地区，原为唐宋名刹祥符寺旧址。为弘扬佛教文化，人们在修复祥符寺的同时，在这里修建了露天的释迦牟尼佛立像。
We, driving along Taihu Lake toward the scenic areas of Lingshan Mountaion, can catch glimpses of the figure of the golden-bronze Buddha, its left hand hanging and right hand turning upward, facing the vast waters of Taihu Lake, barely showing amid green trees. According to statistics, the 88m-high statue, 18m higher than the giant Buddha statue of Leshan (Sichuan Province), is the highest of its kind in China. Its site, the area of the Small Lingshan Mountain, used to be the site of Xiangfu Temple, a celebrated temple in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In an effort to boost Buddhist culture, the temple has been rebuilt and a standing figure of Sakyamuni Buddha erected in the open air.
 
近观佛像，只见它双目垂视，表情宁静慈祥，充满了睿智，“顶天立地”的身形让人震撼。登临灵山大佛的最高观景台，遥望前方，只见太湖烟波浩渺，左拥右怀佛像的青龙山和白虎山苍翠葱茏，绿意幽幽。据说，每年来无锡的游客，都会慕名前来瞻仰这座气势恢弘的佛像。无锡人更是对灵山大佛充满了崇敬之情。香火不绝的灵山大佛反映了无锡这一福泽宝地的文化繁荣与祥和安定。Watching from a close distance, you will see the Buddha, with such an awesome size, looking downward, composed, kind and full of wisdom. The height of the sight-seeing platform looks out to the infinite Taihu Lake and the green and deep Black Dragon Mountain and White Tiger Mountain hugging the figure of Buddha which attracts tourists to Wuxi for its renown and inspires awe from local people. The endless streams of worshippers here mirror the cultural prosperity, peace and harmony of this promised land.
