Feiming Chan Temple

Feiming Chan Temple

Feiming Chan Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Sichuan Province.

Nestled beneath the steep cliffs of Mount Luofu lies the thousand-year-old Feiming Chan Temple, originally built during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Covering an area of 57 acres, the temple currently houses four main halls: the Mahavira Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Mizong Hall, and the Yuantong Hall. These halls are resplendent with gold and color, featuring rigorous structures, exquisitely detailed sculptures and paintings, and an imposing, majestic scale. The current abbot, Master Wanfa, is a direct disciple of Master Haineng, and is highly respected for his virtue—leading to an increasing number of lay followers and worshippers who come here specifically. The temple’s Buddhist activities are also closely integrated with temple fairs. Every year on the ninth day of the first lunar month is the “Shangjiu Fair,” the nineteenth days of the second, sixth, and ninth lunar months are the “Guanyin Fairs,” and the eighth day of the fourth lunar month is the “Buddha Fair.” The first and fifteenth days of each lunar month are regular worship days, ensuring that the temple remains bustling with incense and worshippers all year round. With the development of the Mount Luofu scenic area and the Luofu Mountain hot springs, the temple is also planning an expansion. In two or three years, a brand-new temple with more comprehensive functions for reception and Buddhist activities will be unveiled. The temple’s Buddhist events, temple fairs, along with visits to Mount Luofu and hot spring soaks, complement each other, attracting even more visitors and worshippers, and further invigorating the temple’s incense offerings.
