Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple Introduction
Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple was initiated by Dong Liangming, a resident of Fenggang, who received revelations from the Bodhisattva. He discovered a site overgrown with weeds on the hillside of Longshan in the village. With the cooperation of kind-hearted individuals, some contributing money and others providing labor, they bravely faced thorns, snakes, and mosquitoes with only primitive tools, embodying the spirit of Yu Gong moving mountains. They cleared the land and built a humble straw hut to honor the Bodhisattva. After several decades of hardships and storms, in the 55th year of the Republic of China (1966), it was renovated into a makeshift temple constructed of earth walls and metal sheets. Under the leadership of successive committee chairs, including Wang Shoulin, Wang Guangrui, Wang Guangseng, and Wang Xiuqing, and with the strong support of benevolent devotees, the temple was successfully completed in the 91st year of the Republic of China (2002). Fenggang Purple Bamboo Forest Longfeng Temple is dedicated to the Great Bodhisattva, promoting the compassionate spirit of helping others, advocating traditional culture, and rectifying social morals. It has become a center for believers from all over the province, hoping to further propagate the Bodhisattva’s mission to save all beings.
