The Tao is like white jade, and the Buddha is like gold. In the long course of Chinese history, Buddhism and Taoism have been like lotus flowers blooming together, growing and complementing each other, shining brightly in their respective cultural contexts.

In the history of Wudang Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain, there was a Buddhist figure who stood out with his legendary charm. The monk Bu Er was a special figure who left a deep mark on Wudang Mountain.

Sun Yuanxin, whose Dharma name was Bu Er, entered Wudang Mountain in the 39th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1560) and resided at the Tiger Ear Rock at the back of Zhanqi Peak in Zixiao Palace. His Dharma voice spread far and wide, and his wisdom shone brightly. After 42 years of cultivation in Wudang, he passed away. Because of his appearance, Wudang Mountain in the Ming Dynasty created a history of harmonious coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism, which became a miracle.

The Pagoda of the Venerable Master Buer is the largest Buddhist tomb pagoda still existing on Wudang Mountain. Empress Dowager Cisheng, the mother of Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty, left Xizang to build the pagoda. Why does the monk Bu Er have such a huge appeal in Taoist sacred places? How did he travel all the way from Beijing to Wudang Mountain to practice? What unforgettable memories did he leave for this immortal mountain? This episode will reveal it to you.
