Longhai Puzhao Temple in Zhangzhou, Fujian｜A clever collision of foreign architectural styles and Chinese architecture.

Puzhao Temple is located at the foot of Nantaiwu Mountain in Gangwei Town, Longhai City, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, across the sea from Xiamen. It was built in 1998, covering an area of ​​160 acres and costing hundreds of millions of yuan. It was founded by the old monk Guangxuan who traveled to Southeast Asian countries. In preparation for its construction, it was named Puzhao Zen Temple because it did not forget its ancestral home, Xiamen Nanputuo Temple (formerly known as Puzhao Temple), hoping to lead all sentient beings out of the sea of ​​suffering and to the Bodhi shore of liberation. After 13 years of perseverance and hard work, it was finally built as the only unique temple in China. A temple that combines Chinese and Western modern architectural styles. Puzhao Zen Temple abandons the architectural features of traditional temples with dovetails, flying eaves, yellow tiles and red walls. It is unique and combines the principles of Buddhism, Feng Shui and philosophy. It cleverly combines the Linji Sect's "Four Drinks and Eight Rods" of the "Four Drinks and Eight Sticks", the machine is fully used, and the returnee clouds "Zhong"'s Banghe Zong style cleverly integrates Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism culture as well as the architectural styles of countries such as China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India and Australia, using the four major elements of "earth, water, fire and wind" to express it incisively and vividly. The expression outlines a quiet and harmonious Buddhist pure land, which can be said to be the essence of Buddhist wisdom.
