Introduction of Longquan Temple
Shentanggou Longquan Temple (another national key cultural relics protection unit, Taishan Longquan Temple) is located in Shentanggou Village, Wanbailin District, southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, 9 kilometers away from the city center, with convenient transportation and outstanding people. The ancient temple is located in the west facing east, backed by the majestic Daguan Mountain and facing the long Fenhe River. The ancient temple was built in the first year of Tang Jingyun (AD 7 10). Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, once bathed his war horse with the perennial spring water flowing at the foot of the mountain, and later won the world and became the real dragon emperor, hence the name "Longquan". Then a temple named "Longquan Temple" was built on this mountain. Surrounded by five mountains, the temple is known as the "Little Wutai Mountain"!
After several ups and downs, this ancient temple has been restored many times. With the joint efforts of the current host, Master Yiren, and the whole temple, the ancient temple was recently restored on 1996 and opened to the public as a place for religious activities. After several years of hard work, this land full of thorns and weeds has become a modern jungle with a certain scale. The temple was also designated by Taiyuan Municipal Government as "Longquan Park Buddhist Cultural Zone in Longquan Holiday Development Zone, Taiyuan City".
Today, Longquan Temple covers an area of 1.6 hectares, with a building area of more than 4,000 square meters. Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Hall, Dizang Hall, Wuguantang and North and South Liao Fang have all been completed, and the internal and external environment, software and hardware of the temple have been improved year by year. The whole temple is full of Buddha's light and fragrance; There are many halls, solemn and elegant. On the first day of each year, Buddha and Bodhisattva hold a grand Buddhist activity on Christmas Day, to see the beautiful scenery under the mountain and listen to the Sanskrit sounds in the temple, which bring out the best in each other, presenting a pure land of Buddhism and forming a Dojo for educating people.
