Taipei Attractions

五股智光禪寺外觀

Zhiguang Temple is located in Wugu District, New Taipei City. It is one of the three temples founded by Master Ruxue. Over twenty years ago, it was originally just a small private altar for family practice. Around 1998 (the 87th year of the Republic of China), when the timing was right, Master Ruxue was invited to oversee the temple affairs. Today's Zhiguang Temple is a magnificent Buddhist monastery covering a vast area, surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning natural scenery. The old mountain gate of Zhiguang Temple was originally located directly in front of the Main Shrine, accompanied by a pond. It was later relocated to the left side of the temple, rendering the old mountain gate abandoned. To the south, Zhiguang Temple is adjacent to Linkou, with Zhulin Temple available for visitors. To the north, overlooking the Tamsui River, there are two ancient temples: Baoxia Zen Temple and Xiyun Zen Temple. Additionally, it is neighboring Lingyun Zen Temple on Guanyin Mountain, creating a place rich in natural beauty and cultural significance.

Wugu Zhiguang Zen Temple Introduction

Zhiguang Zen Temple is located in Wugu District, New Taipei City, and is one of the three temples founded by Master Ruxue. Over 20 years ago, it was originally a private small Buddha hall, serving as a place for family practitioners. Around the 87th year of the Republic Era (1998), the opportunity arose to invite Master Ruxue to preside over the temple affairs here. Today, Zhiguang Zen Temple is a grand Buddhist temple occupying a vast area, featuring lush greenery and beautiful mountains and rivers. The old mountain gate was originally located directly in front of the Main Hall of the Great Buddha, with a pond in front of it, but it was later relocated to the left side of the temple, making the old mountain gate obsolete. Zhiguang Zen Temple is adjacent to Linkou in the south, where Zhulinsi (Bamboo Forest Temple) is available for visitation. To the north, it overlooks Tamsui with two ancient temples, Baoxie Zen Temple and Xiyun Zen Temple, and it is also neighboring Lingyun Zen Temple on Guanyin Mountain, making it a place rich in both spiritual and human excellence.
