The Three Sages Cliff is commonly known as “Three Buddhas Cliff”. The three Buddha statues were carved with the donation by Monk Zhi Hui, Buddhist abbot of the Huguosi Temple and the White Pagoda Temple, and his disciples. The statue in the middle is Amitabha, a great Buddhist master. Sitting cross-legged he is 2.5 meters high, 0.6 meters from shoulder to shoulder. He is holding the Magic Pearl in his left hand and making a sign of the lotus flower with his right hand. He wears a high hair bun and a kasaya. The expression on his face is calm and kind. Beside him are two Bodhisattvas, one on his right holding aloeswood and the one on his left holding a Buddhist water-jar. Both of them wear a lotus-flower-shaped crown and a Buddhist robe, with their curling hair reaching the scarf on the shoulders. A chain of jade-like stones hangs from their neck and from the cuff of the sleeves is seen as bracelet on each hand. They both look gentle, calm and reserved. When talking about the three Buddha statues, Duan Wenjie, former Director-general of the Dunhuang Museum, lauded them as the “masterpieces of the Qing-Dynasty rock carving art”.
