Zhai Ming Monastery, Buddhist temple in Daxi, Taiwan

The monastery features traditional Fujian architectural elements with a Sanheyuan design, incorporating detailed roof decorations and exterior wall carvings depicting Buddhist narratives.

Founded in 1873 by monk Li Ajia after his return from Putuo Mountain in China, the monastery received classification as a Third-Grade Historic Site in 1985.

The temple walls display numerous variations of the Chinese character 'Ming', representing different historical periods and calligraphic styles within Taiwan's Buddhist heritage.

Located at 153 Zhai-Ming Street, the monastery offers Buddhist lunch meals, educational programs, and maintains specific visiting hours for the public.

The 921 Earthquake delayed restoration plans initiated by Master Sheng-Yen in 1999, leading to a complete renovation that merged traditional elements with modern facilities.
