Hello everyone! Today is the weekend, another week has passed. How are you today? In the past few days, the world is living in fear, about a war being fought in Ukraine and Russia. I still watch the news every day, as a Vietnamese, through thousands of years of history, my country has experienced many wars of foreign aggression. Until the time when I was born, my country was living in peace. Every Vietnamese person has a history subject, we feel that the fierceness of war brings. Reconciliation is an important factor in building national unity and peace for mankind. War invalids are those who suffer a lot of pain and disadvantage during the war and after the war. Many wounded soldiers are doing their best to contribute to reconciliation, healing after the war, and healing their physical and emotional wounds. I still pray every day for the world to be safe, and for my friends to be safe. In today's article, I will write about a famous tourist destination of Da Nang city, which is the cave of hell. This is the largest cave in Da Nang city. Hade's cave is located at the foot of Thuy Son mountain, in the complex of Ngu Hanh Son landscape relics. The cave is about 12 km from the center of Da Nang city. Located on Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street, Hoa Hai ward, Ngu Hanh Son district. To get to the underworld, we can go by many different means, usually, people will choose motorbikes. Because by motorbike, you can explore all 5 mountains of Ngu Hanh Son complex easily. Currently, when visitors come to visit Hade's cave, all tickets to visit this cave will be free of charge.
From childhood to adulthood, we watch movies and see that there are heavens and hells and we wonder if these metaphysical realms are real. When we die, we are reborn like in the movies or not. So how did the Buddha teach us the six paths of samsara? According to the original scriptures, the Buddha explained that there is no real metaphysical realm, it is the product of imagination, of spontaneous knowledge created by consciousness. According to the Buddha's words, there are 6 (only 6 states of mind) included. 1 is the heaven, 2 is the human realm, 3 is the Atula realm, and 4 is the hungry world. 5 is the hell realm, 6 is the animal realm. The name Am Phu Cave is associated with Buddhist philosophy: if there is yang, there will be in, if there is nirvana, there will be hell, if there is the day, there will be night, if there is birth, then there will be death. This is also the law of transformation of the theory of yin and yang and the theory of five elements. The name Hades has gone deep into everyone's subconscious, where people consider it a place of exile, a prison for criminals. Beneath hell is the world of demon kings who rule and punish humanity for what they have done in the human world. Therefore, the name of hell is a constant obsession for people around the world, warning people to always turn to good, avoid doing evil, know how to speak the truth, repent, do many good deeds so that when he dies he will not be exiled to Hades. When we go to Ngu Hanh Son's Hades Cave, we often hear that we are going to hell. But with Marble Mountains, we go up again. Visitors climb more than 20 stairs and pass two statues, Mr. Good and Mr. Evil standing on either side of the door, these two statues represent the face of each human life, good and bad. According to the law of the underworld, the dead will be banished to the underworld, having to cross the fateful yin and yang bridge. Below the bridge is the black-water Nai Ha River, with many streams, with crocodiles, poisonous snakes, and wild animals. The river divides into two parts: the birth side - the dead side. In the world, when someone does good deeds and that person dies, their soul will be flown smoothly and peacefully by the Dharma Protector Dragon. If anyone does evil, they will be chased by jackals and thrown into the river as prey for wild animals. If we look closely at the bridge deck, we can see spider webs spinning towards the center, this is the web of heaven, which is scarce but very difficult to penetrate. On the yin and yang bridge, there are 12 pillars on the bridge, these are the 12 zodiacs representing the 12 zodiac signs. After crossing the Yin-Yang Bridge, on three steps there are two white candles, 2m high, called soul lights. According to the concept of Eastern people, when someone dies, white candles are lit, the light will bring people back to Eternity. The darkness is mellow and peaceful. After passing the ghost lamp, we will meet Ta Ty and Huu Ty. The two rulers of the Book of Life and Death, only those whose names are listed in the Book of Life and Death are brought to the presence of the King of Hell. Those who are not named in the Book of Life and Death but die, are exiled like unjust souls in the world. time. Since people who have not yet reached the end of their lifespans die unexpectedly, this is called untimely death.
Going deep inside, we see a very large stele with three words Anh Linh Dai. This is the largest stele in the Ngu Hanh Son landscape relic, the stele was erected to commemorate the heroes and martyrs who fought and sacrificed in Ngu Hanh Son mountain in general and Am Phu cave in particular. On the cliff is a stele commemorating 5 heroes and martyrs Ngu Hanh in the battle of 1968. To the left of Anh Linh Dai is Thien Thai Gioi, also known as the way to heaven. This is a very high ventilation cave, when visitors reach the top of the cave, they will have a very beautiful view down. On the way to climb the cliffs here, there will be worshiping Buddhas like Shakyamuni Tathagata, Quat Am, and Pho Hien, lying on the high cliffs. The way up has many high-level stairs and is very slippery, you have to be very careful when going up. At the top of the cave, there will be a ventilation hole, stepping outside you can look around outside the Marble Mountains. In addition, there is also a Maitreya Buddha statue, this Buddha image is in a sitting position, next to the blooming confetti is very beautiful. After going sightseeing above the Tiantai Gioi Gate, I continued to return to the cave of the underworld. View from above, look down below. You will feel very overwhelmed with a height of more than 80m, be calm when you step down below.
Continuing to go to the underworld, there are 10 Pluto Kings, this is the residence of 10 kings of the 9 hells, in the legend of the underworld as well as in Asian Buddhism, there are only 9. But in this place, there are 10 kings of Hell, and the ninth hell is Abhi Hell... Whoever does evil in the world and commits ten evils in the world, if he is exiled to this prison, he will receive The king of Hell judged his sins and sent him to the hells according to what he had done on earth. Next to the Judges and King of Hell is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This is the highest position of the Underworld. He is the only bodhisattva depicted with a white robe on his forehead, one of the thirty-two auspicious omens of a Buddha. Ksitigarbha often holds the fruit of Nhu Y Chau and the staff of six rings, which is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva who saves sentient beings in the Six Paths. In East Asian countries, Ksitigarbha is considered one of the four great bodhisattvas (the other three are Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, and Universal Worthy) specializing in saving those who have fallen into Hell.
To the right of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is Hell's Gate: After being judged at the judge of the 10 kings of Hell, each crime will be sent to different levels of hell, the cave in Ngu Hanh Son is not the same as the underworld. at Suoi Tien amusement parks. Dam Sen of Saigon city, because these places have 18 levels of hell for entertainment purposes, while Ngu Hanh Son hell follows Buddhism and advises people to do good, accumulate virtue, and avoid doing evil things. Beneath each floor, there will be crimes such as adultery, theft, madam, lying... To go down to the hell floors, visitors will follow the stairs. On the cliffs, there will be simulations of the wrongdoings of mankind in the world, when coming down here, they will be exiled to 9 levels of hell. The road to the bottom is very slippery, in the cave there are underground water channels, wet on the rocks, so it will be difficult to move. The deeper you go into the cave, the narrower the path will be. At the end of the cave are underground water sources, I don't know if I can continue but underneath the cave is quite stuffy, I have to turn back to avoid the dangers below the cave. It is also said that this cave connects to the road leading to the sea, but the distance from the cave to the sea is quite far, I think it will not be possible to go to the sea by the cave here. It is known that Am Phu cave used to be a secret cave that sheltered and nurtured revolutionary soldiers during the two Vietnamese resistance wars. Here is 1937, the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee met here to propose a war. the strategy of fighting against foreign invaders. Important decisions in the period 1936 - 1939 were all decided here. On December 24, 1968, a tough battle took place between 5 revolutionary soldiers and 2 battalions of American soldiers. In that battle, the Vietnamese liberation army won and repelled the American advance. The war has passed, this place has been made an attractive destination for all tourists to explore. Under the heat of the central summer, stepping inside the cave you will feel a very cool feeling. Visiting this place will also help you learn the law of cause and effect, and the history of the cave. The article that introduces the negative dynamic class comes to an end. Thank you to everyone who watched and supported the article. Wishing everyone a nice and happy weekend. May the world be at peace shortly. A person who respects cultural values will become a peace lover.
