Lingjiu Mountain Wusheng Temple Introduction
Lingjiu Mountain Wusheng 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 sea meets the sky in an expansive horizon. The ecology on the mountain is rich and diverse, accompanied by mountain winds and ocean views, showcasing the beauty of nature. Entering the mountain from the Ashoka Pillar, one can encounter the uniquely shaped Tianyan Gate, the four major mountain temples symbolizing the compassionate wisdom of Bodhisattva, the Eleven-Headed Guanyin, the black-faced golden statue of Doro Guanyin overlooking the seaside, a stupa forest featuring a strong essence of the three vehicles, and the hidden pathway of the Five Hundred Arhats in the mountain forest, all allowing for a leisurely stroll and calming meditation amidst the woods. Wusheng Temple is also the main temple of the Lingjiu Mountain Buddhist organization, established in 1983 when Master Xinda sought a place for fasting and retreat, eventually arriving at what is commonly known as Eagle Mountain, also called Laolan Mountain. After two years of fasting and retreat, he vowed to establish a temple at this location to promote and benefit sentient beings, leading to the founding of Lingjiu Mountain Wusheng Temple. Over thirty years since its establishment, Lingjiu Mountain has embodied compassion and meditation as its core principles, advocating the idea that "life is a field of blessings, and work is practice," aiming to integrate and apply Buddhist teachings into daily life, educating followers to constantly reflect on their inner selves, cease evil, do good, and foster a compassionate heart to benefit sentient beings, cultivate good character, and achieve inner peace and satisfaction.
