五股智光禪寺外觀

Zhiguang Zen Temple is located in Wugu District, New Taipei City, and is one of the three monasteries founded by Master Ruxue. Over twenty years ago, it was originally just a small private Buddhist hall, serving as a place for lay practitioners to cultivate their practice. Around the years 1998 to 1999, circumstances matured, and Master Ruxue was invited to oversee the temple's affairs. Today, Zhiguang Zen Temple is a grand Buddhist monastery with vast grounds, surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful scenery. The old mountain gate of Zhiguang Zen Temple was originally positioned directly in front of the Mahavira Hall, with a pond in front. It was later relocated to the left side of the temple, and the old mountain gate was consequently abandoned. To the south, Zhiguang Zen Temple is adjacent to Linkou, where Zhulin Temple can be visited, while to the north, it overlooks Bali and Danhai with two ancient temples, Baojian Zen Temple and Xiyun Zen Temple. It is also neighboring Lingyun Zen Temple on Guanyin Mountain, making it a truly blessed and beautiful location.
