Woyun Temple

来源: 作者: 时间:2008-04-10 Tag:Temple   Woyun   点击:

The Woyun Temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty and reconstructed in the Qing Dynasty. In the nunnery, there is a Mercy Goddess hall and a Jade Buddha hall. In the Jade Buddha hall, there is a 1.2-meter-high jade Buddha that was presented by the Barman Buddhists.

By the nunnery, there is a spring named Jingluo spring, which once served as many as a thousand people but dried up. Once, it was said that the spring was full of water again after a monk read the Buddhist doctrine to it. At the back of Woyun Temple, it is said lies a bottomless abysm with plenty of clouds. When the clouds surrounded the building, the temple seems to be floating on the clouds, hence the name Woyun Temple.

The Copper Hall with a gold-plated roof in Woyun Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty on the mountain top, is eight metres high, 4.8 metres wide and 4.3 metres deep. The whole body of the hall was made of copper with a gold plated roof inside the hall, there is a five-metre high bronze statue of Samantabhadra mounted on an elophant and 24 bronze Buddhist images. Outside the hall is a bronze tablet, on which 2,564 characters were engraved by calligraphers Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty(317-420) and Chu Suiliang of the Tang Dynasty(618-907).
