Lingyang Temple

Lingyang Temple is located on Ganshan Mountain, Guling Town, Mashan County, Nanning City. It is the largest cave-style temple in Guangxi. Lingyang Temple was built in the Yuanfeng period of the Song Dynasty (1078-1085), and it was built by the descendant of the Sixth Patriarch, Nanhua Huiyuan. At that time, the monastery was large in scale, with more than 1,000 monks and talented people. Due to historical reasons, Lingyang Temple has undergone several ups and downs, especially in the mid-Qing Dynasty due to a fire on Guling Street, which affected Lingyang Temple and caused the temple to be destroyed. Until the spring of 1998, local believers invited Master Shi Renhuan to preside over the renovation of Lingyang Temple. In just a few years, Buddhist temples, vegetarian halls, guest halls, and dormitories have been built successively. With the increasing influence of Lingyang Temple, the existing living facilities and study conditions can no longer meet the development requirements. The monastery decided to implement renovation works. Now, 60 mu of land for the renovation project has been acquired, and it is planned to repair and build the platform corridor, Daxiong Hall, Buddhist Temple, Buddhist Culture and Education Base, Dorm, Zhaitang, Abbot Building, Library Building, Free Life Pool, Underground Parking Lot and Shangshan Highway, etc. .
