Tung Lum Nieh Fah Tong

Originally known as Tung Lum Jing Seh, the temple was established in 1952 by Master Ding Xi. Although floods broke out and destroyed half of the temple on the 5th of August that year, repairs were quickly completed towards year-end with assistance coming from many quarters. A main hall (Hall of Ultimate Happiness) was completed the next year in 1953, and the temple was renamed “Tung Lum Nieh Fah Tong” with a stress of changing from a retreat to a monastery. In 1962 it was incorporated with a Board of Directors, and this was a precedent of Buddhist temples’ incorporation as companies in Hong Kong.

The temple is located deep in the woods next to Chuk Lam Sim Yuen. Built on a white-stone terrace, a new two-story main hall was completed on 26th of December 1998, and its majestic design is modelled after the main hall of the ancient Xuedou Temple in Fenghua, Zhejiang. The sixth and current abbot of the temple is Master Jing Zhen. The monks in the temple practise Pure Land Buddhism and the peaceful and quiet location is an excellent venue for the monks to meditate and study; monastic ordinations are regularly held here. Behind the gates towards the hills, there is the “Tung Lum Buddhist Aged Home” established in 1970.
