Dicang Temple, located in Wuhangshan, Guali Town, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, was founded in the sixth year of Song Xining (1073). A monk and an incompetent master found a place to live here, looked at the treasure land, became a temple, and walked alone for three years.
At that time, Buddhism in southern Fujian declined, monks had no fixed place to live, and Da Deyun, a monk from ten jungles, traveled around the world looking for treasures to settle down. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a lonely photo of a big monk and a disciple on the rooftop of Tong Yuan. Mao 'an was built here to worship the King and Bodhisattva of Dizang, hence the name Dizang 'an. In July, there are many pilgrims. At that time, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Xiao and other places were famous, and more and more monks were hanging orders, and the incense was strong.
history
On July 30, the fifth year of Qing Qianlong, two eminent monks, Fa Ben and Zhong Fa, discovered this place. When they saw that Mao An 'an was quiet and stable, they changed it to Dizang Temple, the 22nd and 23rd authentic temples, which are now recorded on stone tablets. On July 30, the ninth year of Qianlong, Dizang Temple showed its sages, showed its compassion, and thousands of people entered the incense. Then, more than 90 halls were built, such as the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the abbot's room and the Tangqi Hall, which made the Dizang Temple very popular. Tongzhi was destroyed by Hongyang for six years and revived that year. In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), the Zen statue was destroyed and changed to Dongxiang Autonomous Forest Bureau, which was restored in the 20th year of the Republic of China (193 1 year).
