Changes of Longquan Temple in Fujian Province

After the Cultural Revolution, with the implementation of religious policies, the face of Longquan Temple has undergone fundamental changes. First of all, Master Ruisen of Xuefeng Temple led a group of disciples to the mountain to revive, clean up the filth and go through hardships. Soon, Ruisen showed silence, and Master Guangchan continued his efforts. In the past 20 years, Master Guangchan has spared no effort and vowed to restore the glory of the mountain gate and repair Longquan Temple with all his strength. The newly-built mountain gate is magnificent, with the Longquan Temple in Zhao Puchu on it. The road is solid and straight, and two huge stone lions on the left and right sides look up at the sky with extraordinary momentum. After entering the mountain gate, the newly-built large release pool is clear and quiet, and the newly-built Tianwang Hall and Dabei Hall are connected with the old site of Xishan. The newly-built audio-visual is 3.2 meters high and majestic. The Jade Buddha Hall, Dharma Hall and Zen Hall under construction have begun to take shape. The column couplets of the new museum are all over the famous calligraphers Shen Jinshou, Pan Zhulan, Xie, Jiang Pingchou and Zhou. In order to train monks, Longquan Buddhist College was established in the temple, which was officially opened in 1998. After a rigorous examination, more than 20 young monks from all over the country were recruited. Master Guangchan's contribution to Happiness Longquan Temple is admired by everyone. At the Buddhist Congress held in Fuzhou, he was elected as the vice president of the Buddhist Association of Fuzhou.
