The Pusading () is a Buddhist temple located in Taihuai Town of Wutai County, Shanxi, China. The temple structure is considered the best of all temples in Mount Wutai.
==History== The legend says that the bodhisattva Wenshu (Manjushri) revealed himself and preached at the summit of Mount Wutai, hence the name "Bodhisattva Summit Temple" (). It is also known as "Spiritual Black Eagle Peak" () due to its geographical position similar to the Lingjiu Peak described by Shijiamouni Buddha in the city of Rajgir northeast of the Kingdom of Magadha.
