About Wenshu Temple

Manjusri Nunnery may refer to several Buddhist nunneries with the same name. One is at the foot of Furong Peak. There is a Manjusri Cave in the nunnery. It existed in the early Qing Dynasty. There were incense in the late Qing Dynasty. Now the cave is sealed by mud and water. The other place is in front of Manjusri Cave in Xiamin Garden. The cave door is engraved with the words "Hengsha Buddha in the cave, seeing the Tathagata every day." There is also a Manjusri Nunnery in Pingyuan, Guangdong, which existed in the late Ming Dynasty. He Nanfeng, the founder of the Hengshan Hall School of Chinese Buddhism, was the abbot. Historically, there was also Manjusri Nunnery, also known as King Kong Temple, in the Jinding Scenic Area of Mount Emei. It was recorded in documents from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. In 1952, this nunnery was no longer included in the temple list.
