Tung Po Tor Monastery

The Tung Po Tor Monastery is situated at the foot of Tin Fat Shan in Lo Wai, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

[1] The Tung Po Tor Monastery was founded in 1932 by the Buddhist Mau Fung for the worship of the Kwun Yum (Goddess of Mercy) including a main hall called Yuen Tung Po Din (Chinese: 圓通寶殿) and an entrance hall called Tin Wong Din (Chinese: 天王殿) separated by an open courtyard in between.

The articles used by Mau Fung and the yellow sateen, the Five Garments and the Bag given by the Emperor of Japan are in display in the Memorial Hall.

It is also a two-storey building constructed of concrete and stone with its walls and columns to support its pitched roofs of timber rafters, purlins and clay tiles.

The upper floor is a classroom and library for the young monks to study while the ridge of the building is decorated with a pearl and two aoyus (Chinese: 鰲魚).
