BUDDHISM, BUDDHAS AND BODHISATTVAS: From A.D. 67 Buddhism started to arrive in China from India along the Silk Route, gaining a definite foothold in China by the 1^st Century A.D. The first Buddha was Siddhartha Gautama, known as Sakyamuni, the son of a raja in Nepal, who chose to reject his privileged lifestyle and lived as a hermit, gaining spiritual enlightenment under a bodhi (sacred fig) tree. At first Chinese Buddhas were depicted as Indian Buddhas,but during the Sui Dynasty (A.D.589-618) and the Tang dynasty (A.D 618-907) they began to take on Chinese characteristics. Buddhism was actively imported into China because the Chinese rulers were interested in it. Many delegations of Chinese monks were sent to India on fact-finding missions. The Chinese interpretation of Mahayana (‘The Great Vehicle’) Buddhism was such that anyone could become a Buddha (this was unheard of in India with its tight caste system) and thus allow the immortal soul to escape from the relentless cycle of reincarnation by entering Nirvana. To become a Buddha, people had to do good to others and love their neighbours and avoid sin. There were some people who had followed this path and earned their entry into Nirvana, yet who chose to hold back from entering Nirvana because they wanted to help other people to reach this stage : these people were bodhisattvas, the most famous of which in China is probably Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.

DRAGONS

The Chinese dragon is a symbol of both China and the Chinese Emperors and has always been considered differently from the dragons of European and Middle Eastern mythology. Far from being fearsome creatures, they were believed to be essentially benevolent and held by many to be lucky. 

Dragons are often depicted with a pearl, as each dragon was believed to hold a ‘pearl of wisdom’.

TEMPLE LIONS ( DOG OF FOO ) 

Temple lions statues appeared in China with the coming of Buddhism. They symbolise defence and protection. The Lion is the symbol of majestic strength, great courage and strength of character. Tradition sees these lions as protectors of the building and the people within, as they can frighten away wicked spirits and combat any evil that might try to cross the threshold. When a temple lion is playing with a ball it is to signify the pearl which symbolises blessings and protection against evil. The ball also represents the sun, which is Yang. The female temple lion often has a baby lion lying on its back under her paw.
