Wanfu Temple (simplified Chinese: 万福寺; traditional Chinese: 萬福寺; pinyin: Wànfú Sì) is a Buddhist temple on Mount Huangbo in Fuqing, Fujian, China.[1] It is famous as the original temple of Yinyuan Longqi, the temple's 33rd abbot and a Chan master. He later travelled to Japan with his disciple Muyan to found the Japanese Ōbaku school of Zen.[1]
Found in 789 by Chan master Zhenggan (正干) in the Tang dynasty (618–907), it was destroyed and rebuilt several times. A modern restoration of the entire temple complex was carried out in 1989 and again in 2016.
Mampuku-ji, head temple of the Ōbaku school, is named after this temple.
