Wai Chuen Monastery, Buddhist temple in Pai Tau Tsuen, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

Wai Chuen Monastery, originally Wai Chuen Kok Yuen, is a Buddhist institution at 98 Pai Tau Village, Sha Tin, founded in the 1950s by the nun Jing Shan. Its gate carries the couplet "慧觀第一義；泉照不二門" and a second reading "看破放下自在；敬師重法實修". The gate is often shut, so whether it admits visitors is unclear.

Wai Chuen Monastery was founded in the 1950s by the nun Jing Shan as Wai Chuen Kok Yuen, a Buddhist institution at 98 Pai Tau Village, Sha Tin. In 1975 the monk Guo Xian became abbot and the name was changed to Wai Chuen Monastery.

The monastery's name comes from its gate couplets, which pair hui (wisdom) with quan (spring) and read "慧觀第一義；泉照不二門". A second couplet at the entrance urges "看破放下自在；敬師重法實修". The gate is usually kept closed, so whether the grounds are open to visitors is uncertain.

The monastery is located on Pai Tau Street in Sha Tin and can be reached by MTR to Sha Tin Station or several bus routes including 85K, 86K, and 170. Visitors should expect a quiet setting and check in advance about visiting times and any restrictions on photography.

The monastery was founded in the 1950s by the nun Jing Shan as Wai Chuen Kok Yuen, and only took its present name in 1975 when Master Guo Xian became abbot. Its gate is usually kept closed, so whether it admits visitors is unclear; Google Maps lists opening hours of 9am to 5pm daily.
