history

Lingshi temple is located under Furong peak, the main mountain of Lingshi mountain. Founded in the first year of Tang Dynasty (847). At the beginning, it was built as an nunnery by the two surnames of Lin and Zhao, and by the monk yuan Xiu who often recited the "Qi Ju Lu mantra". In the fourth year of Dazhong (850) of Tang Dynasty, jingshe, named CuiShiYuan, was founded. Yizong of Tang Dynasty granted "lingshiqutang yuan" with 36 nunneries. Temples flourished in Song Dynasty and declined gradually after entering Ming Dynasty. In 1615, the temple was restored. At that time, ye Xianggao visited the temple and presented a poem "Lingshi visited my Zen master". In 1633, the second year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Zen master Daopei raised money to build the heavenly king's palace and rebuilt the main hall, which has been preserved to this day. However, there are only six plinths in Tang Dynasty. During the period of the Republic of China, temples were repaired. During the "Cultural Revolution", Buddhist statues and religious implements were destroyed. After 1979, the temple property was gradually returned. In April 1984, master Miaoxian was invited to revive the temple. The county people's government appropriated funds for the renovation of the main hall.
