Fenggang Zizhu Lin Longfeng Temple Introduction
Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple was established after the Bodhisattva manifested through the Fenggang resident Dong Liangming. He pointed out a piece of overgrown land on the hillside of Longshan. With the help of like-minded individuals, who contributed financially and physically, and using only primitive tools while facing thorny bushes, snakes, and mosquitoes, they embodied the spirit of "Yugong Yishan" (the foolish old man who moved mountains) by clearing stones and leveling the ground to build a humble thatched hut to worship the Bodhisattva. After decades of hardships and storms, in 1966 (the 55th year of the Republic of China), it was rebuilt into a structure with earthen walls and a metal roof, barely qualifying as a temple. With the leadership of successive chairpersons such as Wang Shoulin, Wang Guangrui, Wang Guangseng, and Wang Xiuqing, along with the strong support of numerous believers, and after years of dedication and teamwork, it was completed in 2002 (the 91st year of the Republic of China) and presented in its current form. Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple enshrines the Great Conduct Bodhisattva, promotes the Bodhisattva's compassion and altruism, and advocates the preservation of traditional culture and moral ethics in society, becoming a center of faith and fellowship for believers throughout the province, with hopes of further spreading the Bodhisattva's spirit of saving all beings.
