Summary
| Description |
English: Formally known as the "Dharma Realm Guan Yin Monastery" (法界觀音聖寺), the temple is still sometimes referred to as the 'Guan Yin Temple' (觀音堂; Kuan Yin Thong in Hakka or Kun Yam Tong in Cantonese). It is dedicated to Guan Yin (the Goddess of Mercy), the Chinese Buddhist version of the Avalokitesvara Buddha.
The first temple, a simple wooden structure, was built here in 1880. In the 1990s the temple structure was found to be severely compromised by tunneling from nearby construction and the temple had to be torn down and rebuilt, mainly between 2000 and 2005. |
