After Master Xuecheng left Zhejiang, he went to all parts of Sichuan to preach Dharma. 1936, he passed through Neijiang and went to Wangye Temple to give a lecture at the invitation of the Xinyi monk in Shui Sheng Temple. In the same year, monk Nan Li of Sanduo Zhai and his mother Li Wupo respectfully invited the master to preach the Diamond Sutra in the Buddhist temple. Later, Li invited the master to give lectures on Shurangama Sutra, Jue Yuan Sutra and Six Ancestors Tanjing in Zigong Park. After giving lectures frequently in various places, the master came to Zigong. 1945 returned to Zigong to give lectures on the Diamond Sutra, went to Fushun Dongshan Temple to give lectures on the Shurangama Sutra, and gave lectures on the Great Amitabha Sutra in Gongjing Tianchi Temple.
1946, Zigong Xinyou Bank closed down, and Li Boqun, the bank manager, sold the house built on a pair of mountains to avoid the air raid, in order to pay off the debts owed by the national economic depression at that time. Prior to this, the mage, local people and Buddhists in Zigong City had proposed to raise funds to build a Buddhist temple. At this time, the mage asked people to bid for Li's house, and a Sanjin courtyard was built below, named Miaoguan Temple, which is the place where Buddhists in our city hold religious activities and worship Buddha statues.
Luo, (big salt merchant), Wu Bingguo, Liao Shuqing, Wang Bingguang, Fushun Zhang and others all gave strong support. Mayor Zhao Shijie wrote a plaque on the main hall of the temple, which was inscribed by Wang Boqiao, a famous calligrapher in Weiyuan County at that time.
1946 Buddha raised money, and after the completion of the Buddhist temple, 1947 expanded the Hall of the Great Hero. The master designed and built it himself, and led his disciples to take part in labor and dig stones. The Hall of the Great Heroes is modeled after the Three Saints of the West, and has an area for more than 500 people to read Buddha, listen to the scriptures and get together. The bells, drums, plaques and queues in the hall are all complete. 1948, Miaoguan Temple opened a Buddhist college and enrolled students in nearby and other counties. There is a Buddhist scripture collection building in the temple, which contains a Buddhist scripture collected in the Japanese Tower donated by Monk Luo, the Song version of Traces of Sand and Eight Treasures photocopied by the Shanghai Buddhist Bookstore donated by Monk Luo, and many teaching reference materials and reference books for the master to study Tiantai Sect. There are dozens of gilded and distilled bronze Buddha statues and ancient carved Wei Tuo statues upstairs. They are very outstanding in art, and many of them are treasures.
After liberation, the Buddha responded to the call of the government and abided by laws and policies. Buddhists face production and labor. 1950, the Buddhist College closed, and the monks went to live at will. The Buddha led the monks living in the temple to cultivate the land of the Buddhist temple, spin cotton yarn, make iron screens, make hand pads and other productive labor, and actively donated money and materials to resist US aggression and aid Korea. He was elected as a representative of the people and a member of CPPCC. From 1956 to 1958, Buddha fell ill and went to Chengdu for treatment. After the death of the master, Miao Guan Temple was changed to be presided over by Shi Huishan in 6 1 year. The temple was closed. Ten years of catastrophe, all the Buddha statues in the temple were destroyed, all the furniture was confiscated, all the Tibetan scriptures were lost, the monks were dissolved to make their own living, and all the Buddhist temples were moved in by residents.
Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, religious groups have resumed their normal activities in accordance with the Constitution. Miaoguan Temple has received the policies of the Party and the government, removed the residents, repaired the temple, resumed the education work of the temple, newly carved the Buddha statue, and opened it to the masses, making it a scenic spot for Zigong Buddhist scholars to study, visit and visit.
