There are two vigorous cypresses in front of the mountain gate, two tall and straight ginkgo trees and two ancient cypresses in the temple. As of 20 15, they have a history of thousands of years. The original site of Longquan Temple faces west, and a single-hole ancient stone bridge in the temple has been well preserved so far. There is a tower 100 meters east of Longquan Temple. It is said that monks chanted sutras on the 49th day after the death of the master.
After Longquan Temple was restored as a place for religious activities, a series of innovations were carried out. In the construction of Buddhism, it is necessary to dilute sects, strengthen organizations, build a Buddhist learning system in the Han Dynasty, cultivate ambitious, moral, talented and learned monks, and build a pure and harmonious Buddhist group. In the spread of Buddhism, we should pay attention to the use of modern media and ways suitable for modern people's lives.
Architectural composition
Longquan Temple used to sit west facing east. In the late Qing Dynasty, Changping House was on the east side of the original temple, with Jinlong Bridge as the central axis, and the temple was transformed into a three-step courtyard facing south, including Huma Hall, Tianwang Hall, Wei Laoye Hall and tea shed. The ancient temple ruins facing west and east have been preserved to this day, and Longquan Temple is divided into three courtyards from west to east.
The West Courtyard has a bluestone pedestal left by Longquan Temple founded in Liao Dynasty, and the Jinlong Bridge in the Intermediate Court is a single-hole stone bridge, which is said to have been built by Shi Jisheng, the abbot of Longquan Temple in Liao Dynasty. Each hall has been restored according to the style of ancient buildings in Qing Dynasty, offering sacrifices to Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva. The East Courtyard is located on a cliff. There are antique buildings such as Jianxing Hall and Military Attachments Hall.
