About

Guangshan Jingju Temple (simplified Chinese: 净居寺; traditional Chinese: 凈居寺; pinyin: Jìngjū Sì), located in Guangshan County, Henan Province, China, also known as "Emperor entitled Brahma Temple", is the birthplace of Guangshan Jingju Temple Gate of China's first Buddhist sect, Tiantai Sect. In the fifth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi dynasty (554 A.D.), the eminent monk Huisi came to Dasu Mountain in Guangzhou to build a nunnery and open an altar to preach. Emperor Song Zhenzong's inscription "Emperor entitled Brahma Temple" is carved with five large-character plaques, which are still embedded on the door. The Daxiong Hall in the temple is a Ming dynasty building.
