Chikan Tower Dashi Hall The year when the Taishi Hall in the Chikan Tower was built is unknown. According to the inscription on the reconstruction of the Taishi Hall in the Chikan Tower dated 1976 AD, it is said that it was built during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty by local residents who raised funds and donated money to worship the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the Zheng family. The reason why a temple was built in Chikan Tower is rumored to be because there might be red-haired people/Dutch people and ghosts in the Chikan Tower area at night causing trouble, so the temple was built to worship Guanyin to suppress their evil spirits. In addition, it is also said that it was founded in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and the second year of Tongzhi/1863 AD. ---------------------------------------- The earliest documented record of the Grand Palace is in "L'Ile de Formose. Histoire et description" written by Camille Imbault-Huart. and argument. Xianhe visited the ruins of Prominzha City in 1863 AD and mentioned that the Chinese installed a temple inside. This temple should be the first generation of the Great Master's Hall. ---------------------------------- Since the Prominent City (now Chikan Tower) is called "Fanzai Tower", Avalokitesvara is often called "Fanzai Tower Buddha" and the temple is called "Fanzai Tower Buddha Temple". The temple at that time was a north-south building.

I walked through various temples, big and small, but when I stepped into the main hall and looked at Guanyin Mother, I couldn’t help but express my inner thoughts. As if there was a connection, I felt an inexplicable surge of emotion in my heart. Maybe I was really very similar to Guanyin Mother. It's fate, so I feel it without too many words. In my world, this is the only place where my heart rests. Whenever I encounter doubts, difficulties or complicated thoughts, I go to the Grand Master’s Hall to talk to Guanyin Mother, and I can immediately feel the peace and solidity in my heart. It’s as if Mother Guanyin is telling me, don’t worry! There is no obstacle that I cannot overcome, as long as I am willing to work hard, Guanyin Mother will accompany me and bless me😀 When the body and mind are at ease, the heart is sincere and spiritual.

I have visited or passed by Chikan Tower and its surroundings several times, but I didn’t know there was a Grand Master’s Hall on Chikan West Street. After visiting the shrine for the first time, I felt comfortable and calm physically and mentally. I felt the special kindness of Guanyin Mother, which made me feel at ease. It was great.

On February 19th of the lunar calendar, Guanyin Bodhisattva is born. Every year, we come to pray for peace and thank the Buddha for his blessing.

It will come when you are a little tired and your mind will feel more at ease. When children are studying, they often come to pray for success in exams.

I pass by often and rarely come in. It feels good when I come in for the first time!

It was built during the Yongzheng period and demolished during the Guangxu period. After petitions from local residents, Liu Mingchuan rebuilt it again. In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, due to the government's lack of funds, it was simply rebuilt after the Japanese took it over. It has only been renovated beautifully now, and it is the fourth generation.

(Translated by Google) The Grand Palace is dedicated to the very enlightened Avalokitesvara. I really appreciate the help of Avalokitesvara over the years. As long as I have good intentions, I pray that Avalokitesvara really meets the requirements. It is recommended to everyone.

(Translated by Google) Miao Gong’s attitude was very unfriendly. The opening hours of the temple were not fixed. At first it was until 6 pm, and then it changed to 5 pm. I arrived at the temple at 4:45 pm. Miao Gong said he would not worship me. I also left, but Miao Gong put down the electric iron gate when I was leaving the temple gate, no matter whether I was standing below or not, I might be pressed by the gate. (Original) 廟公態度非常不友善，廟開放的時間不固定，一開始是到下午六點，後來又變下午5點，我到廟宇的時間是下午4點45分，廟公說不給拜了，我也就離開了，但廟公在我正離開廟門的時候放下電動鐵門，也不管我是不是站在下方，可能會被門壓到。

(Translated by Google) emotional Don't people who park illegally know they are parking illegally? Want to remind? If you can't even stop illegal parking, then what kind of practice do you have to tell others? For their own interests, these people who illegally park their cars will not hesitate to cause death and injury to others, resulting in the destruction of many people's homes and confusion. Such thoughts make all prayers invalid. When will human beings understand what they are worshipping in temples? Are the gods teaching? If there is a reason why the behavior of people in the world has not changed, they are constantly acting rashly, and they are constantly calling hell to come. The same is true of many temples in Tainan. Wisdom does not arise and cause and effect are unclear. So what are you worshiping? (Original) 有感而發 違規停車的人難道不知道自己違規停車？還要提醒？ 如果連不要違規停車都做不到了，那還要跟人家講什麼修行呢？ 這些違規亂停車的人為了自己的利益，不惜去造成別人死傷以致許多人家破人亡，觀念混亂，這樣的意念讓所有的祈福都無效了。 人類到底什麼時後才會明白去寺廟到底在拜什麼？神明有在教嗎？如果有為什麼世間人的行為沒有改變，不斷的姿意妄為，不斷的召喚地獄前來 台南許多寺廟也是一個樣，智慧不生因果不明，那麼究竟在拜什麼？
