Zhongtai Temple

　　 Zhongtai Temple is situated in Xinyi Village, Puli Town, Nantou County, Taiwan Province. It is presided over by Venerable Master Wei Jue and currently has over 80 branch temples across the province, regularly hosting spiritual retreats. The temple complex is massive, with an architectural style that blends Eastern and Western techniques. Its towering roof is especially breathtaking to visitors. At first glance, the new structure of Zhongtai Temple resembles a pyramid, making it yet another masterpiece of Buddhist architecture.

　　 Since its establishment in 1994 (the 83rd year of the Republic of China), Zhongtai Temple underwent redevelopment and renovation from 1994 to 2000. Today, the temple presents a solemn and majestic exterior. Venerable Master Wei Jue and renowned architect Li Tsu-yuan incorporated both Eastern and Western construction methods into the design. The architectural philosophy combines the sudden enlightenment method of "direct realization of Buddhahood" and the gradual practice spirit of "progressive cultivation through stages," as well as the style of ancient monastic traditions. It seamlessly integrates art, academia, religion, and culture while retaining the essence of Zen Buddhism—truly awe-inspiring. Aside from its remarkable architecture, the temple also boasts well-equipped facilities, including a meditation hall, the Four Heavenly Kings Hall, the Bodhisattva Hall, the Hall of the Three Ages of the Buddha, lecture halls, guest reception rooms, a kitchen, and dining halls for worshippers to use during their visit.
