Lingjiu Mountain Wu Sheng Temple Introduction
Lingjiu Mountain No-Birth Temple is located in the northeastern corner of Taiwan, adjacent to Fulong Beach, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a distant view of the Pacific Ocean where the sky meets the sea, vast and boundless; the mountain boasts rich and diverse ecology, accompanied by mountain winds and seaside mist, showcasing the beauty of nature. Entering the mountain from the Ashoka Pillar, one can find uniquely shaped Tianyan Gate, the Four Great Sacred Mountains representing the compassionate wisdom practices of Bodhisattvas, the Eleven-faced Guanyin, and a distant view of the black-faced golden statue of Dharmakaya Guanyin by the seaside, along with a stupa forest that embodies the strong characteristics of the Three Vehicles, and the path of the Five Hundred Arhats hidden in the mountains, allowing for a leisurely stroll in the woods, practicing walking meditation. No-Birth Temple is also the main monastery of the Lingjiu Mountain Buddhist community, established in 1983 when Master Xindao sought a suitable place for fasting meditation, eventually arriving at the mountain colloquially known as Yingzai Mountain, where he underwent two years of fasting meditation, vowing to establish a temple here to spread Dharma and benefit sentient beings, thus founding the Lingjiu Mountain No-Birth Temple. Lingjiu Mountain has now been established for over thirty years, practicing a religious spirit of compassion and meditation, advocating the life philosophy that "life is a field of blessings, work is practice," aiming to make Buddhist teachings practical and applicable in daily life, educating believers to often reflect on their inner selves in daily life, stop evil and do good, vow to benefit sentient beings with a Bodhi mind, and cultivate good character while attaining inner peace and fulfillment.
