Why was the "Three-faced Buddha" demolished?
Because the position of Guanyin statue is not good, it affects Feng Shui. Besides, the Buddha statues are enshrined in temples, not in the streets. The Buddhist department in Tanggu District did not agree to open it in such a prosperous area, and moved to Chaoyin Temple for fear that too many people would visit during holidays and cause traffic jams and crowds.
At present, three-sided Guanyin is located in Xidagu (now called Xiangluowan Financial District) on the west bank of Haihe River in Tanggu District, Tianjin. It was built in the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1404). This is a temple built by local residents, formerly known as Nanhai Temple, also known as Shuangshan Temple. Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty ordered the restoration, and the Imperial Pen Club was renamed Chaoyin Temple.
Facing Dagu Haikou, it is one of the few temples facing the east in China, and it is also the only cultural relic that is open to the outside world in the southern tourist line of Tanggu District. Chaoyin Temple consists of three main halls, four halls in the north and south, and two houses in the north and south. There is a Liu Xian Pavilion dedicated to fourteen buddhas such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is an approved place for religious activities.

The origin and meaning of the three-faced Buddha;
Three-faced Buddha was originally mainly used in Tibetan Buddhism. Because the highest achievement of Tibetan Buddhism is its advertised personal achievement, the so-called personal achievement is to achieve the three-body view of Buddhism (dharma body, body report and incarnation) in this limited time of life. There is also a saying that the three faces of the three-faced Buddha represent the present, the past and the future respectively. The Three-faced Buddha sat solemnly on the lotus throne, smiled slightly and looked piteously at the good men and women who came to worship.
On the one hand, she represents the present, with a beautiful and amiable face, reflecting a beautiful and kind maternal image, reminding people to cherish the present, grasp the present and have the spirit of contentment.
On the one hand, she represents the past, her eyes are calm, and she bows her head and tells people to forgive themselves and not to regret what has happened.
On the one hand, it represents the future and tells people that the future is full of confidence and hope.
