Introduction to the worship pavilion: In front of the main hall is a three-bay worship pavilion with raised eaves and ridges, resplendent and majestic. Both the worship pavilion and the hall corridor are made of bluestone dragon columns with exquisite openwork carvings, and gilded couplets are engraved on the columns. Among them, it is said that it was inscribed by Zeng Gongliang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, "Lingshan is good for the western heaven, and the source water can lead to the tide of the South China Sea." There are some in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Ruitu, a famous calligrapher and Tanhua painter, wrote in his handwriting: "Have a great master ever been born? The Dharma defines wisdom and all sentient beings have their own halls", as well as an anonymous couplet handed down from ancient times, such as "Deep mist and rain in spring at the entrance of the cave, midnight fishing lights at Haimen" and other famous couplets. There are also plaques such as "Ancient Buddha" inscribed by Zhuang Junyuan of the Qing Dynasty, "Lingyuan Temple" inscribed by Zhao Puchu, chairman of the Buddhist Association of China, and "Temple of Heaven" inscribed by Peng Chong, former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
