柯岩石佛来历奇 The origin of Keyan Stone Buddha 柯岩石佛，与羊山石佛、新昌大佛寺石佛、杭州灵山石佛，并称“浙江四大石佛”。 Keyan Stone Buddha, along with Yang Mountain Stone Buddha, the Stone Buddha in Xinchang Big Buddha Temple, Soul Mountain Stone Buddha in Hangzhou, is called the “Four Great Stone Buddhas in Zhejiang”. 柯岩石佛是古代劳动人民的伟大创造。 Keyan Stone Buddha is the great creation by the ancient laboring people. 据传，晋代时，柯岩石工中有一柯氏匠人，有感于柯岩石塘经常倒塌，压死石匠，发愿雕凿这一座大佛，保佑石工平安。他死之后，子孙接着雕凿下去。经历了祖孙三代的努力，才凿成了这一座巨大的石佛。 As the legend goes, in the Jin Dynasty there was a stonemason named Ke, who thought of the stone embankments in Keyan falling down frequently and crushing stonemasons to death, and decided to chisel a great Buddha to bless and protect the safety of stonemasons.

What is wealth? The one who is willing to devote his wealth to helping others can be rated as a wealthy man, while the one who is rich but mean to do good can’t. What is rank? The one who can utilize power to settler others’ trouble has rank, while the one who possesses power only to seek personal
