寻章摘句
《重修挂甲屯观音庵碑记》中记载：
盖闻三摩妙地，仰仗慧日，以辉煌七处，征心须参瞿昙之奥义。群沾法雨，普庇慈云，护佑有灵，报答斯厚。兹因挂甲屯之有观音庵也，由来久矣。近因风雨圮倾，凋残日甚，仅有山门一座，正殿三楹，其余诸屋基址虽在，而栋宇荡然，残钟雪压，法像尘封，观者共为欷，闻之莫不感慨。由是弟子因心有感，发愿重修，第工程浩大，独力难成，不得已募化。四方善信君子各施金赀，共襄盛事，遂于光绪四年正月，诹吉兴修，未及半载而工竣。谨将原有山门一座改建前殿三间，正殿三楹重为建构，并于两旁添建耳殿二间，土地祠一间，正殿左右添建东西配殿各三间，复于庵之西院又建北殿三间，耳殿二间。仰瞻各殿诸神圣像，金身光灿乎云霞，即墙垣等处亦皆一律修整，从此庙貌重新，共仰神灵之有赫。谅必慈恩广布，均沾圣德于无穷。工既毕，而善信君子告予曰：颓落若此，建构良难，今既重修，宜传永久，爰书其源委而勒之于石。

History
The Guanyin Nunnery was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi and rebuilt in 1878. Now only the antetemple, main hall and the side halls on the east and west exist, which are now used as dwelling houses. The text of the tablet was written by Tong Fuxiang, a lower-class official in the Qing dynasty, who presided over the renovation.
