Pushou Temple
Updated : 2014-10-20
This temple, at the southern end of the village of Dongzhuang, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and rebuilt during the 34th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1908), and was gifted to the 13th Dalai Lama and became one of the 10 Shaman Temples on Wutai. In 1991, two masters, Rurui and Miaoyin, founded the China Wutai Mountain Discipline Institute for nuns there.
The temple, covering almost 20,000 square meters, faces south and consists of two courtyards, an eastern yard and a western, with the former a very big space with a beautiful marble archway in front and a lower part of grey bricks and upper part of wood. The temple has a bright, clean, quiet environment, and is a good place for teaching discipline and doctrine, and a good example of Chinese Buddhism.
