A Flashback Into the Historical Legends of China
Being one of the three ancient temples in Macau, “Lin Fung Temple” was originally built in 1592 during the Ming Dynasty and it is known in various names such as “Tianfei Temple” and “the Temple of Lotus”. The temple is devoted for a Goddess called “Kun Lam” and many more. These Gods of merci have been displayed with many inscriptions and carvings in all over the temple.
Located in the north of the suburb, this ancient sacred establishment has been reconstructed several times. In the main entrance of the temple old inscriptions of a Buddhist monk called “Yushuiseng” and a welcoming lotus pond can be seen. Tin Hau Hall and Kun Lam Hall are the main sanctuaries within the temple of which the curtains are decorated with eight immortals and symbols of felicity and longevity as well as the designs of dragon and stone railings. In the North side of the temple is constructed a hall of beneficence and longevity and it is devoted to God of medicine and agriculture.
The “Lotus Throne” which is devoted to former bodhisathwas of the west and the East is placed in the ancestral temple which is located next to the guest hall. Such facts prove that the temple is closely related to the Buddhism since the previous ages of its construction, which is also a reason for it to be called “Lin Fung Buddhist temple”. Also the statues of lions made of stone at the entrance seem to be guarding the temple while the statue of Tin Hau stands on a platform next to the protector generals.
At the face of the temple an open square full of ancient trees can be found surrounded by stone enclosure while the back of the temple is fascinated by an ornamental garden including a wide range of flowers and several pavilions, and its lotus pond flourishes during the summer season spreading its fragrant all over the temple. Apart from that, this legendary temple witnesses various historical events as well. For instance, Lin Zexu, the national hero of China and other officials arrived to the temple in 1839 and prohibited the trade of opium everywhere. Now there stands a ten feet stone statue of Lin Zexu in commemoration and to tribute his nobility.
