It is one of the larger Buddhist monasteries nearby. There are many pilgrims here, and you have a large Zhaitang to provide vegetarian pilgrims. The fly in the ointment is that there is a small shop selling meat skewers at the entrance of the temple, which is very out of place and disrespectful to the Buddha.
