Tainan Travel

Chiefsun Puti Temple(千佛山菩提寺)is located in the mountains on Guanmiao. It has a large pond in front in which the whole temple is reflected upside down to stunning effect. On the mountain top stand Taiwan’ tallest Sakyamuni statue(釋迦牟尼佛像) and Taiwan’s first Diamond Sutra stupa(金剛經佛塔). The Buddha statue’s lotus base has the only lotus base secret altar in Taiwan in which 990 Sakyamuni  statues are embedded. This is why Chiefsun is called ‘1000 Buddha Mountain’. Puti Temple was founded in 1969. Under the leadership of Zen Master Bai Yun, it has grown into a large Zen Buddhist monastery. The temple complex has many buildings and are all are magnificent. The temple attracts a constant stream of worshippers all year round. If you want to take a break from the fast-pace of modern life, why not come here for some peace and quiet and to bathe in the grace of the 1000 Buddhas?
