五股智光禪寺外觀

Zhiguang Chan Temple, located in Wugu District, New Taipei City, is one of the three temples founded by Master Ruxue. Over twenty years ago, it was originally just a private small Buddhist hall for family practice. Around 1998, the opportunity arose to invite Master Ruxue to manage the temple affairs. Today's Zhiguang Chan Temple is a grand Buddhist temple covering a vast area, with lush vegetation and beautiful natural scenery. The old mountain gate was originally located right in front of the Main Hall, with a pond in front of it, but was later relocated to the left side of the temple, leaving the old mountain gate abandoned. Zhiguang Chan Temple connects to Linkou in the south, where Zhulin Temple is available for visiting, and to the north, it faces the Tamsui River with Baokai Chan Temple and Xiyun Chan Temple, two ancient temples. It is also adjacent to Lingyun Chan Temple on Guanyin Mountain, making it a place blessed with both spiritual and human talents.
