Foguang Temple

Located inside the Tianzhushan Scenic Area, in a very quiet and peaceful scenery in the forest, next to one of the hiking route up to Tianzhushan. Next to the temple there is the Mazu Cave, where Mazu Daoyi, a monk of Tang Dynasty sat in meditation. The temple was built by the villagers near the cave and called it Mazu Temple. Later Monk Guanzhi lived here in seclusion, followed by monk Daguan during the 25th reigning year of Wanly of the Ming Dynasty (1597 AD). It is in the 27th reigning year of Wanly (1599AD) when the Emperor Shenzong renamed the temple to Foguang and helped to store buddhist scriptures
