About

It pioneered the 'No Incense, No Gold Paper, No Donation Box' rule, emphasizing that sincere prayer is more important than offerings. The architecture is grand yet simple, lacking the overly ornate decorations of other temples. It is famous for its 'Recalling the Soul' (Shou Jing) service performed by blue-robed volunteers, offering spiritual comfort to thousands of believers daily.
