Guishan Jifo Temple

Tucked along Wanshou Road in Guishan District's Lingding Village, Jifo Temple (濟佛寺) is a small, active place of worship dedicated to the veneration of Ji Gong — the beloved folk-Buddhist figure known as the Living Buddha, a legendary monk celebrated for his compassion toward the downtrodden and his irreverent miracles. Though modest in scale compared to the nearby Shoushanyan Guanyin Temple just up the same road, Jifo Temple plays a real role in the interlocking web of local religious life. It is known in community records as Lingding Jifo Temple (嶺頂濟佛寺) and regularly hosts deity-birthday celebrations, receives invitations from neighboring temples for festival processions, and acts as a co-organizer for district-wide cultural events.
