Shun Shin Chee Kit Yin Koon (Zique xuanguan), Hong Kong

Brief History

The Shun Shin Chee Kit Yin Koon ( 紫闕玄觀 Zique Xuanguan ) is a temple of the Chunyang sect of Supreme Oneness ( 太乙 Taiyi ) Daoism. In 1964, it was founded in Macau on the third floor of No. 17, Luoli Street, by Qu Zhanbie, Luo Lianzong, Deng Lianxue, Deng Lianyin, and Luo Lianhui. Afterwards, the disciples Luo Ziyan and Luo Lianhui returned to Hong Kong; unable to sustain itself, the original temple in Macau was closed temporarily. In 1973, the disciple Luo Ziyan bought the present site at Shenshuibu. Thanks to the kind and generous help of the Xinshan Ancestral Altar, the Erfen Altar, the Sanfen Altar, Liuhe Sacred House, and the Liyi Mysterious Temple, the great ceremony of Opening Light was held on the seventh day of the tenth month of the Guichou year (1973). In 1975, the temple was registered as a non-profit limited corporation named Shun Shin Chee Kit Yin Koon. In 1977, some believers offered section No. 95 (a public area), No. 3 District, Baitian Village, Shatin. The location became the "Quiet Temple for the Cultivation of the Aged at the Shun Shin Chee Kit Yin Koon ". From then on believers have increased day by day. "Shi Kuanqun", abbot of the neighboring Fragrant Rays Garden, donated for free the neighbouring plot No. 96 and its buildings. In 1979, after the construction of paths and platforms using funds raised in many ways, the Shun Shin Chee Kit Yin Koon was opened.
