Chapter 51 Buddhist Opportunity Sealing Movement

Fa Xi Temple.

Fa Xi Temple was originally named Tianzhu Temple, but after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiangnan Dao was within the territory of Wu Country at the time. Many in Wu Country harbored animosity towards Buddhism, sparking the infamous campaign to annihilate Buddhism. It was then that Tianzhu Temple was renamed to Fa Xi Temple.

In addition, it was the prevention by the Zhenyi Sect Leader that allowed this ancient temple to be preserved.

Fa Xi Temple was surrounded on three sides by mountains, offering a picturesque landscape. Its interior was dotted with splendid buildings and valuable collections of scriptures and elixirs.

The built structures include the Heavenly King Hall, Yuantong Treasure Hall, Grand Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Vilu Hall, among others, arranged in a solemn and orderly manner, along with the heritage of the Scripture Translating Platform, Seven-leaf Hall, and the Three-Life Stone.

Inside the Vilu Hall, it was categorically calm and silent.
