Huge Wild Goose Pagoda – Xian
Initially constructed in 652 throughout the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it functioned to gather Buddhist components that had been taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang.
The reason it is known as Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a legend. According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for a single of which consuming meat was not a taboo. One day, they could not uncover meat to purchase. Upon seeing a group of large wild geese flying by, a monk said to himself: ‘Today we have no meat. I hope the merciful Bodhisattva will give us some.’ At that extremely moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground. All the monks have been startled and believed that Bodhisattva showed his spirit to order them to be a lot more pious. They established a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat. Hence it got the name ‘Big Wild Goose Pagoda’.
1st built to a height of 60 meters (197 feet) with five stories, it is now 64.five meters (211.six feet) higher with an extra two stories. It was stated that following that addition came the saying, ‘Saving a life exceeds creating a seven-storied pagoda’.
