Elder Mingzhe’s written introduction: Since becoming the abbot of Zhanshan Temple, Elder Mingzhe has led all the monks in the temple to practice according to the rules. In order to take care of all sentient beings who were destined to live together, he established the "Yansheng Hall"; in order to provide old monks with a way to support themselves in their old age, he established a "nursing home"; to facilitate the monks, he opened a vegetarian hall and a clinic. He also raised funds to build the Bell and Drum Tower, Pharmacist Tower, South Pavilion and Life Release Pond, etc., giving the temple a new look. Elder Mingzhe devoted his whole life to promoting Buddhism and made great contributions to the cause of Buddhism in our country.
