The price of Zuta

That is good price tombstone. In the 10th year of Xiantong (869) of the Tang Dynasty, Liangjia passed away.

Houfa Hall

In the 13th year of Tang Dazhong (859), master Liangjia founded Guangfu temple. It was rebuilt in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and was renamed Puli temple. The existing houfa hall was rebuilt in 1672 (the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty) as a three storey wooden pavilion. It has a width of 7 rooms and a depth of 12 meters. It stands on a stone platform more than 10 meters high. The gate has a plaque of "Buddha in nature". The monk's room is a heavy wooden structure building with 34 Zhangshi rooms.

Muyu-Stone

80 meters southwest of Fengqu bridge, there is a huge black stone on the cliff side, 3.3 meters wide and 2.6 meters high. One head is high and the other is low. It is named for its shape like a wooden fish and its sound of "stripping" when tapping on the top. According to legend, Liangjia's apprenticeship in Dongshan made people believe in Buddhism, which angered tie Guai Li (a Taoist). He came to Dongshan to see the abbot, but it happened that Liangjia was preaching the Sutra and discussing Zen. He should not be disturbed. So Tieguai Li yelled outside the hall, asking Liangjia to come out and reply. The noise startled master Liangjia. As soon as he came out of the hall, he recognized the person and said, "it's you who have been immortal for 800 years!" tie Guai Li said, "then you are the black sheep of 500 years. I want you to be defeated today.". He immediately threw up the iron crutch. Liang Jia saw that the crutch turned into a hill and pressed it straight on his head. With a flick of the Buddha's finger, the mountain was located on the right side of the temple and became a "crutch mountain". When Li Tieguai ran away, the wooden fish fell to a stone away from the temple and turned into a "wooden fish stone.".

Nocturnal stone

It is said that the stone can be opened and closed day and night, which is the lock of Dongshan. There is a "salt well" under the stone. However, because the traitor monk stole salt for profit, the stone pass and the salt well which opened and closed automatically lost their spirit.

The poem said: "the ancient temple occupies several peaks according to the mountain, and the Jinglu is like a heavenly palace. In three years, he wanted to be an official, but he was willing to see each other in a hundred miles. Where do Buddhists and monks come from? Birds and animals may as well join us.
