Why do humans worship Dapeng birds?
Dapeng Golden Winged Bird (Goruda) is a divine bird recorded in Hindu and Buddhist classics. According to Hindu myths and legends, Goruda is the mountain of Vishnu, a great god and a minor god. It is said that the wingspan is 336 Wan Li, which covers the sky and has colorful feathers. According to Buddhist scriptures such as Lotus Sutra, Goruda is one of the eight dharma protectors. There are all kinds of solemn treasures, golden bodies, newborn wishful pearls and bitter sounds. He devours a dragon king and 500 poisonous dragons every day. With the accumulation of toxic gas in his body, Gruda finally couldn't eat anything. Fly up and down seven times, fly to Mount Kumgang, poison gas burst into self-immolation, leaving only a pure blue blx.

There are countless Gorudas in the world, led by four Korudas: Wade, Shen Da, Dammam and Ruyi. At the same time, Goluda is also one of the incarnations of Guanyin.

Lamaism

In the tantric system, Goluda (Tibetan: khyung) is a Buddha in north-central Five Dhyani Buddhas, with a face and a bird's body, which means that the French king took everything and brought it back.

Legend of Bai nationality

The Bai people in the southwest of China combine the worship of Goluda with the worship of golden rooster, which has become one of the totems of Zhenhong God.

Goluda is the embodiment of ancient world giant bird worship in India, such as the Bernou bird in ancient Egypt, the Griffin (semi-Griffin, Griffin) that originated in the two river basins and spread to the western world, the Funix (Phoenix, Firebird) in ancient Greece, the Roc (Dapeng, Vulture, Condor) in Arabia, the Dapeng, Phoenix, Thunderbird in China and so on.

Judging from the characteristics that Goruda was burned all over his body when he died, he should have a closer relationship with the Benu bird in Egypt. Because there are many poisonous snakes in India, people worship the ability to kill poisonous snakes.
