Longde Temple, located about 280 meters to the northwest of Dongbei Farmer's Apartment Building, East Road, Xinghua City Center, Taizhou City, was built in the eighth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1743). The founder of Longde Temple was Grand Monk Longde. Because of his amazing medical skills in his early years, he was given a temple to cure a disease with the Emperor Qianlong's concubine. It was initially named as Choxiang Temple, and later renamed as "Longde Temple" by the eminent monk Dade in memory of the founder of Grand Monk Longde.
In 2020, Dharma Master Fahua, the abbot of Ciguang Temple in Shatin, Hong Kong, will be invited to live in Wuxi by the two rank public. Dharma Master Fahua became a monk when he was young. Inspired by the study of the Fahua Sutra, he vowed to popularize the sutra of the King of the Sutra, and named the temple "Longde Temple Fahua Garden", and started construction in 2022 to carry forward the legacy of the founder, Dharma Master Longde, and restore and rebuild Longde Temple.
