Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple Introduction
Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple was established based on the guidance of the Bodhisattva by Dong Liangming, a resident of Fenggang. He discovered a location at the waist of Longshan, an area overgrown with weeds. With the help of like-minded individuals, some contributing money and others offering labor, and relying solely on primitive tools without fear of thorns, snakes, and mosquitoes, they embodied the spirit of "Yugong moving mountains" to clear the land. Thus, a simple thatched hut was built to pay homage to the Bodhisattva. After enduring decades of hardships and storms, it was remodeled in the 55th year of the Republic of China into a mud wall and metal roof structure, barely qualifying as a temple. Under the leadership of successive directors Wang Shoulin, Wang Guangrui, Wang Guangseng, and Wang Xiuqing, along with the strong support from the faithful, and through many years of dedicated efforts and contributions, the current structure was completed in the 91st year of the Republic of China. Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple enshrines the Great Conduct Bodhisattva, promotes the benevolent and compassionate spirit of the Bodhisattva, and advances traditional culture while rectifying social morals. It has become a center for the beliefs of devotees across the province and a fellowship center for temples, with the hope that the Bodhisattva's spirit of saving all beings will be further promoted.
