Daxi Zhaiming Temple Introduction
Zhaiming Temple is located in Daxi District, Taoyuan City, a place renowned for its outstanding individuals. In 1873, the first abbot, Master Xingyue, brought back a statue of Guanyin from Mount Putuo in Nanhai, and began his ascetic practice in his hometown, marking the beginning of Zhaiming Temple's century-long history. Due to the rise of vegetarianism within Taiwan's religious practices, the temple was supported by followers of the vegetarian faith. In 1999, the sixth abbot, layman Jiang Zhangren, invited Dharma Drum Mountain to take over the temple's affairs, with Master Sheng Yen appointed as the seventh abbot, thus returning to the orthodox teachings of Buddhism.
