The historical background of Suzhou Lion Forest;

In A.D. 134 1 year, Master Tian Ru came to Suzhou to give a lecture, which was well received by his disciples. The following year (the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty went from Shun Di to Zheng Zheng), disciples bought land and houses to build a Zen forest for Jackson Tian Ru.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the second year of Zheng Zheng (1342), it was built by the disciples of Wei Ze, a Zen master in Tian Ru, for his teacher. Originally named "Lion Forest Temple", it was later renamed "Bodhi Zhenzong Temple" and "Shenen Temple". Historically, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Wei Ze, a disciple of Tian Ru, a famous monk, "invested at the same speed to buy land and build a house to live in his teacher".

Because there are many bamboos in the garden, there are many strange stones under the bamboos, which look like lions, and because the sky looks like a Zen master, the correct method can be obtained in Lion Mountain in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province. In order to commemorate the relationship between Buddhism and disciples, you take the meaning of Leo in Buddhist scriptures.

Hence the names "Lion Forest" and "Lion Forest". It is also because there is a word "lion roar" in Buddhist books ("lion roar" refers to the scriptures taught by Zen masters), and many rockeries look like lions, so they are named. After the death of the Zen master, the disciples dispersed and the temple garden gradually became barren.
