Today's poetry Buddhist temple

After liberation, Chenghai County People's Government listed Shenshan as a county-level cultural relics protection area and Shi Fo Temple as a cultural relics protection unit. During the "Cultural Revolution", it survived in the vigorous "breaking the capitalism". With the end of the "Cultural Revolution", the policy of freedom of religious belief was put into practice, and monasteries and temples all over the country gradually recovered.

During the period of 1985, overseas Chinese donated money to repair the "Castle Peak" and expanded the reception room, reading room, Maitreya Pavilion (with the giant statue of Maitreya) and lecture hall of the Poetry Buddhist Temple, forming a large-scale scattered and deep Buddhist temple. The temple is a second-order winding and secluded building built on a hard mountain top. In addition to Guanyin, Buddhism and eighteen arhats are also enshrined.

The gate of this temple faces east and west. Walking in, the first floor is on the right, the reception room and lecture hall are downstairs, and Maitreya Pavilion is on the roof: on the left is a two-story building built on the mountain, with Prajna Hall below and Blissful Pavilion above. Climb the stone steps forward and then go to the main entrance. From west to east on the left are Yanshengtang, Compassion Pavilion and Guest Hall. There is a "nodding stone" between the ancestral hall and the compassion pavilion. The Great Compassion Pavilion faces south, and there is a famous stone Buddha carved from natural stone records, which is also the main body of the whole temple. The total construction area is 1200m2.
