Introduction to the Three Saints of the West: The fourth hall was renovated in 1983. There are three golden statues of the "Three Saints of the West" enshrined in the hall. In the middle is the "Amitabha" Buddha, the left one is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the right one is The statue of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. What is different from other temples is that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva here has a male form. In the history of Indian Buddhism, Avalokitesvara was originally a male. After it was spread to China, it appeared in the female form from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and became popular in the Tang Dynasty. There are also hanging plaques in the hall called "Lianfengyuanquilt" written by Master Yuanying, the first president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and "Qingliangdi" written by Master Mingyang.
