Lingfeng Temple is surrounded by mountains. In front of the temple, there are towering ancient trees. Beside the temple, there is a gurgling brook and lush bamboo. It is extremely secluded and beautiful.
Lingfeng Temple is also one of the famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River and the dojo of the patriarch of the Pure Land Sect. After thousands of years, there have been many eminent monks. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the temple was destroyed in the war and not a single tile remained. Master Diyin, the abbot of Guoqing Temple on Tiantai Mountain, made a great vow to restore the temple. After experiencing many hardships, he solicited donations from all directions and spared no effort to rebuild the main hall, mountain gate, meditation hall, etc. The existing or newly-built Buddhist buildings of Lingfeng Ancient Temple mainly include mountain gate, Heavenly Kings Hall, Three Saints Hall, Sutra Depository, monks’ quarters, guest rooms, etc. There are also four stone inscriptions, namely ‘Stele for Reconstructing Lingfeng Temple’, ‘Stele for Zhixu, a Taoist of Ming Dynasty’, ‘Stele for Fan Gongyun’, and ‘Inscription on Lingfeng Baifu Temple’, as well as the stupa of Master Ouyi. In front of the temple, there are towering ancient trees and a gurgling brook; at the back of the mountain, there is lush bamboo and wood, and the environment is quiet and secluded. It is an ideal place for believers to practice Dharma and pilgrims to worship Buddha. Opening hours: Open all year round from 7:00 to 17:00.Lingfeng Temple
