Introduction to the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva in the Third Cave: The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva in the Third Cave was sculpted in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Buddha has a clay body and a golden body, sitting upright on a throne, with 46 hands facing outwards. Stretched out, there is an eye shining brightly on each hand, which means the unity of the hands and eyes. This image warns people to do things with both hands and eyes, and never to be too high-minded and too low-handed.
