Puji Temple Review

Beitou Puji Temple - full name Lingquanshan Puji Temple, the old Mingtie Zhenyuan, is a Buddhist temple located in Beitou District, Taipei City, founded by employees of the Ministry of Railways of the Taiwan Governor's Mansion Transportation Bureau during the Japanese period, and completed in January of Dazheng five years (1916). The temple was founded by Zen Linji Zong Miaoxin Temple, and after the sectarian change, it is now listed as a city monument.

Beitou Puji Temple, the old famous iron true courtyard, is located in Linjizong Buddha Temple in Linquanli, Beitou District, Taipei City, Taiwan. It was created for employees of the Railway Department of the Taiwan Governor's Mansion Transportation Bureau. It was completed in January 1916. The Buddha Temple was created by the Japanese to create a new Beitou Line for the development of Beitou Hot Spring. Many railway workers were killed and injured, and the Ministry of Railways built them to mourn the dead and settle the dead. The architectural style of the temple is eclectic and the Tang and Zen styles are similar to the Guanxin Temple. The building of the temple is a single-mountain style, with a layout of three wide open rooms, and three deep rooms, near squares. The front of the temple is prominent for the placement of incense stoves, which are called "worship" in Japanese, and are connected to the main structure by the arc of the old Hongliang of Hai, which is rarely seen in Taiwan monasteries in this forward-protruding form, which is the architectural style of the Edo era.

Taiwan's few remaining Buddhist temples during the Edo period in Japan are all built with Taiwan's birch wood, with solemn and elegant style. Tang Yushou Guanyin is enshrined in the temple.

Puji Temple, located on the hot spring road of Beitou, is a small temple, so the flow of people is relatively small. It is said that it was built during the Japanese occupation, so it is Japanese style. Sometimes when walking in Taiwan, I really don't know whether I am in Taiwan or Japan.

It seems that there are Puji Temple everywhere. This is a century old temple on the hot spring road. Tang Shouguanyin is enshrined in the temple. There is also a stone Buddha with a baby in his left hand and a Zen wand in his right hand. It is introduced as an incarnation of Bodhisattva, the King of Tibet.
