Meifu Temple

Meifu nunnery is located at the west gate of Yongning Street. In 1880, the monks of Putuo Mountain were good at cultivating and worshipping a statue of Guanyin Buddha. After some twists and turns and choices, they decided that Yongning "carries five tigers and faces Golden Lion, and the East China Sea and the west purple". They decided to build a Buddhist temple here to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Shanxiu and Chua Hui Yang, a local sage, went south to the Philippines to raise money, which was strongly supported by overseas Chinese and local Shanxin.

Meifu nunnery, also known as meicen temple, was originally a Taoist temple, but later Buddhism came to the mountain. There lived Sakyamuni, Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and so on in the nunnery. It is said that during the cultural revolution, the young monks in Putuo Mountain were moved back down the mountain, while the old ones stayed and gathered them and all the nuns here. Today, there is only one 88 year old monk left in this nunnery. After his death, there were only nuns left. If you come to Meifu nunnery, you can have a look at the old monk. After being instructed, we went into the courtyard and turned left into a hall. It happened that the old monk was sitting opposite a little nun with a Sichuan accent, laughing and talking. The little nun said as she worked on a travel bag. The old monk has a young face, and the little nun talks.

The original trace of Meifu nunnery is in the alchemy cave, which is located at the back of the main hall in the nunnery. It is also known as Lingyou cave. It is said that it was chiseled by Meifu at that time. The cave is about 4 meters wide and secluded. The top walls are rugged, either like dragons and tigers, or like lions and elephants, ingenious and lifelike. Inside the cave, there is a statue of Mei Fu. There is a spring flowing from the mouth of the gourd in the "fairy hall", which is clear and sweet. Outside the cave, there is a well for alchemy. The well water is clear to the bottom, and there is spring water flowing into the well wall. Its sound is clear and crisp, just like a jade plate falling from a pearl.
