Chung Tai Shan (Chinese:中台山;pinyin:Zhōng tái shān;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Tiong-tai-san) is aTaiwan-based internationalChan Buddhist monastic order founded byWei Chueh in 1987. The monastery headquarters,Chung Tai Chan Monastery (or Chung Tai Chan Buddhist Temple, 中台禪寺), completed in September 2001, is located inPuli,Nantou County, in central Taiwan. It is the tallest and one of the largestmonasteries in both Taiwan and the world, having a height of 136 metres (446 ft).^[1] Widely admired as an architectural masterpiece because of the mountain monastery's more modern look, the temple is second only toFo Guang Shan's monastery in physical size and in the number of ordained disciples.

The temple follows traditional ChineseChan teaching, emphasizing sudden enlightenment and gradual cultivation.
