Origin of Puxian's Buddhism Rites on Mt.Emei

According to Huayan Scripture(华严经），the meaning of Puxian infers that his moral conduct is boundless and immeasurable. So his name indicates universal benevolence. In short, Puxian is an abbrevistion for all the above meanings, as he works throughout the Buddhist world from his lofty and exalted position. Puxian has many images and transformations,which generally fall into three categories. One is his "Fa Image(法身)", which people often see in monasteries.The second one is his "Bao Image(报身)" reveled in the Buddhist Western Paradise. The last one is "Suilei Image( 随类身）", the reincarnation of Puxian ,which is able to reincarnate at will into the body of any dead person whose soul has been released from purgatory.He uses the body forms to advise others with his own experience. The seventy_two changes
attributed to the Mokey King in Pilgrim to the West(西游记) originated from Puxian's third change . It is said that Puxian, with an image deeply loved by the broad masses of people ,enters the world on his six_tusk white elephant and appears on Mt.Emei. Therefore, Buddhist followers who piously worship Puxian willcetainly vist Mt.Emei to pay Buddhist homage. Puxian ride on his six_tusk white elephant symbolizes the six super_powers displayed by the Buddha,which include the foot super_power, the eye super_power ,among others.
