ZU-LIN TEMPLE

The name "Zu-Lin Temple" (Bamboo Grove Temple) is a reference to the Purple Bamboo Grove in Guan Yin Bodhisattva's Mount Putuo. The temple began in 1980s as a house temple in Block 216 Boon Lay Way, where Mdm. Xu Guiyang enshrined a statue of Guan Yin Bodhisattva and provided spirit medium services. The spirit medium was said to be very effective and attracted many devotees. Mdm. Xu and other devotees hoped to build a temple in Western Singapore, so as to propagate Buddhism and allow people to worship the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.
