Stone Boat, Nengren Temple, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China


The Stone Boat at Nengren Temple, Jiujiang, Jiangxi. Legend says a Song-Dynasty monk had a vision of a "celestial being" floating down the Yangzi from the west in a stone boat. It came, and an iron Buddha was cast to place in its boat. Today we see concrete replicas of the boat and the Buddha.
