Jie Ping Zen Temple, also known as Jie Ping Chan Yuan or Jie Ping An, is a very small nunnery located within the West Heaven Scenic Area, close to the south entrance of the West Heaven Scenic Area and the direction of the dock. Jie Ping might imply its small size but not its significance. The phrase ‘a hair swallows the vast sea, a mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru’ aptly describes it. Upon entering the mountain gate, one finds a three-sided courtyard. Built during the Qing Kangxi era by the monk Ji Mei and later rebuilt by the monk Gu Tan, by the early years of liberation, only three monks resided there. Now it has been renovated and serves primarily as a place for monks and nuns to study Buddhist teachings. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s availability.
