Meizhou Lingguang Temple
4A Lingguang Temple
One of the four famous temples in Guangdong Province, with incense burning all year round.
It was first built in the second year of Tang Xiantong (861 AD), and has been expanded and even rebuilt many times. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been official records of the reasons for the construction, which have confirmed many magical stories and legends, such as "Life and Death Twin Cypress", "Ancestor Hall without Smoke", "Roof without Leaves", "Five-color Sparrow", "No Stone Snail", "Half-cooked Fish", "Tea Spring", "Lost Prince at the end of Ming Dynasty", etc. It may be the temple with the most stories among non-national protected cultural relics.
The car stops outside the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain 1, there is a stone path up the mountain, which is relatively flat, but there are many houses or shops on both sides, which is a bit messy 2~3.
When you get to the front of the temple, the mountains in the distance are full of lush trees, and there are streams and bridges nearby. In front of the temple, two large cypress trees, one dead and one alive, are particularly eye-catching. This is the famous Life and Death Cypress. It is said to have been planted by the founding master Pan Liaoquan, and has been over a thousand years old. The one on the right is 30 meters high and lush; the one on the left is 27 meters high, although it has been dead for nearly four hundred years, it is not decayed. 4~6
The three characters "Lingguang Temple" engraved on the door lintel of the mountain gate were personally written by Mei Ding, the inspector of Guangdong Province, in the 18th year of Ming Hongwu (1385), when he donated money for expansion 7. There are still a few relics from the Ming Dynasty in the temple.
The Maitreya Buddha is enshrined in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, with a smiling face to welcome people, which makes people feel good at once.
Since the Song Dynasty, Weituo Tian has often stood behind the statue of Maitreya Buddha, facing the Daxiong Treasure Hall, meaning to protect the Dharma and the monks, and his face is not fierce.
The first thing enshrined in the Daxiong Treasure Hall is the nanmu statue of the ashamed ancestor Pan Liaoquan; before he sat down, he left a verse: "Forty-nine years, no ties. Now I let go and return to emptiness, thousands of miles of clouds open and the moon is in the sky."
The roof structure of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is the only one in the country, contributing two legends. One is that the hall is often full of incense, but there is no smoke all year round. The second is that the tiles on the top of the hall are clean all year round.
There are many plaques in the temple, and the calligraphy is subjective. "There is no mountain outside the top" and "There is a moon in the sky" were written by the same person when he came to the temple twice, and left a good story. Later generations continued the masterpiece: "There is no mountain outside the top, every time I hear the bell of the Buddha Hall, I suspect it is a heavenly sound; there is a moon in the sky, try to see the cypress shadow at the temple gate, you can understand the Zen machine."
In short, it is a small and exquisite temple with stories and highlights. However, due to limited funds, some pavilions and small pieces in the scenic area are slightly rough, which is a pity.

The scenery of the mountains and the multi-spirited show, Meizhou Lingguang Temple is one of them. The ancient temple in the deep mountains and Guangzhou Guangxiao Temple, Shaoguan Nanhua Temple, Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple are collectively known as the four famous temples in Guangdong.
Lingguang Temple For more than 1,000 years, the incense has continued to maintain a quiet temperament, and it is truly a "clean place of Buddhism." The most famous landscape of
Lingguang Temple is the life and death tree in front of the temple. The two trees have been handed down for the hands of the founder of the mountain. They have a history of more than 1,100 years. The dead trees have not gone through more than 300 spring and autumn, and they are accompanied by the other side of the tree. It is amazing!
Lingguang Temple was originally Shengshou Temple. It is said that during the Hongwu period, the eastern Guangdong Supervisor Yu Shimei Ding was taken by the Chaoan River to Meixian County. When passing through the Pengtan Town of Songkou Town, the wind and rain suddenly became a storm, and the raging river flooded into the cabin. When it was over, suddenly there was a loud noise and the wind stopped. However, when a monk with a dusty hand was on board the ship, after a few mouthfuls, it was calm and calm. Yushi later went to Shengshou Temple to enter the incense. The woodcarving Buddha statue in the temple was exactly the same as the life-saving monk. Then he set aside two thousand silver, expanded the temple, and renamed Shengshou Temple as Lingguang Temple. The hillside near the
Lingguang Temple is an infinite tea garden. It is foggy all year round and is extremely suitable for the growth of tea.
Looking at the layers of tea gardens, as if enjoying a freehand pastoral painting...

There are four-faced Buddhas in Bangkok and Lingguang Temple in Guangdong. Many friends come to worship in the distance. Lingguang Temple, one of the four famous temples in Guangdong, is surrounded by the four auras. It is said that there are three musts and three odds. The tree of life and death, the top of pineapple, the top without leaves are called the three light, the stone snails and the raw fish. The five-color finch is called the three singular sensations. At present, Sanqi has rarely been seen.
Lingguang three absolutely Tips:
1, in front of the Emmanuel Temple, there are two imposing cypress trees, one life and one death, one glory and one dry, we call life and death tree. The cypress on the right side is said to have been hand-planted by the Tang Dynasty sorghum Pan Chong, and it has been a thousand years old. The cypress on the left side, although dead for nearly four hundred years, is dead and immortal, and the two trees are in harmony. Known as one of the three auras.
2, Daxiong Hall is often full of cigarettes, but there is no cigarette smoker. It is said that the Dou Doujing well at the top of the temple plays a role. Because it resembles a pineapple, it is called "pineapple top" and is one of the three best of the aura. The algae well was built in the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 600 years. The whole structure has not used a nail. It is built with more than 1,000 pieces of rectangular wood. It can be described as a ghost.
3, the last one is "top without leaves", the main hall of Daxiong is backed by green hills, surrounded by green trees, but there is no leaf on the roof, it is very magical. I have been observing with my friends for a long time, and I really haven't found the leaves. If I want to confirm this, I can look at it again in the fall.
