Fayuan Temple 7 FayuansiFar away from the crowds, rarely visited by tourists, is this peaceful old temple. It's not difficult to get to - about 15 minutes walk through the hutong from the nearest subway station (Caishikou). You experience a Buddhist Temple as it should be, and if you are fortunate, as I was, there may be a service in progress - fifty or more monks walking around the courtyard chanting 'Amitabha'. Under such circumstances, respect must be shown and no photographs taken. This is real. Fayuan Si provides the most authentic experience of a functioning Buddhist temple. It's a good place to sit and meditate or reflect on the craziness of the world outside the walls. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #oldarchitecturesalbia5

Millennial Fragrance, Lilacs in Full Bloom at Beijing's Fayuan Temple"The most ancient temple in Yanjing, known for its compassion and loyalty," nestled near Caishikou in Beijing's Xicheng District, there lies a temple immersed in the fragrance of lilacs come spring. The temple grounds are adorned with purple clouds and white snow, offering tranquility and peace of mind, and even the temple cats seem to be leisurely enjoying themselves. This is one of Beijing's oldest temples—Fayuan Temple. Fayuan Temple was originally built during the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, initially named Minzhong Temple. It was renovated during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Yongzheng bestowed upon it the name "Fayuan Temple." The temple layout is neat, facing south with a north-south central axis symmetry. From south to north, it sequentially includes a screen wall, the main gate, bell and drum towers, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the Avalokitesvara Hall, the Vairocana Hall, the Hall of Great Compassion, and the Sutra Tower. The lilacs of Fayuan Temple, which make it a top destination for spring flower viewing in Beijing, also have a long history. It is said that as early as the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, there were poetry gatherings themed around lilacs. In modern times, the lilacs of Fayuan Temple have attracted many famous visitors. When the renowned Indian poet Tagore visited Beijing, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin once accompanied him to enjoy the flowers at Fayuan Temple. Through a millennium of time, amidst the changing seas and fields, as the world and its affairs shift with the years, the white and purple lilacs of Fayuan Temple continue to spread their delicate fragrance, and the Buddhist pagodas nestled in the sea of flowers stand quietly. While strolling through the temple, I found the "five-petaled lilac" (Picture 5).

The Spring of Temples- Zhihua Temple: Located at the north of Lumicang East Entrance Road in Dongcheng District, Beijing, it is one of the first batch of ancient architectural heritage conservation units in Beijing and a national key cultural relic protection unit. Zhihua Temple was built in the eighth year of the Zhengtong era (1443) by Wang Zhen, a eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial during the early Ming Dynasty, modeled after the Tang and Song Dynasties' 'Garana Seven Halls' system. Initially a private temple, it was later named 'Baoying Zhihua Temple'. Its architectural beams, brackets, colored paintings, carvings, and statues are intact, making it a rare architectural relic that has completely preserved the spatial characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. - Fayuan Temple: Located on the east side of the southern end of Jiaozihu Tong, outside Xuanwumen, Beijing, it was built in the nineteenth year of the Zhenguan era of Emperor Taizong of Tang (645 AD), making it the oldest famous temple in Beijing. Fayuan Temple was known as Minzhong Temple during the Tang Dynasty, and was renovated and renamed to its current name during the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty.

It is a religious museum affiliated with the Buddhist Association of China. Fayuan Temple Zhihua Templeemmeline_wilde_94
The flowers at Fayuan Temple have blossomedThe flowers at Fayuan Temple have blossomed... Every year at this time, I make a trip to 'Fayuan Temple' near Niujie because the lilacs here are in full bloom! The temple with its three courtyards is filled with the fragrance of flowers. A gust of wind brings a shower of white petals drifting down, against the blue sky, red walls, and the blooming lilacs and begonias, every casual snapshot here is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, my photography skills are not up to par, so these beautiful scenes can only remain in my memory. However, there is no shortage of photography masters here, enthusiasts with their 'big guns and small cannons' are everywhere. There is a paid parking lot at the entrance of Fayuan Temple, which is not very large, and the roads at both ends are quite narrow, so I would recommend everyone to travel green.ALEXANDRA WOLFE

Beijing Fayuan Temple, an event of lilac flowersBeijing's millennium-old temple - Fayuan Temple, the only remaining lilac flower event among the three major flower events in the capital. In April at Fayuan Temple, it's a world of lilac flowers, with fragrance filling the temple and blossoms covering it. Visiting the temple to appreciate the flowers is a way to experience the past and present, and to reflect on the changes. It is worth seeing. Fayuan Temple - Lilac Flowers Learn to recognize the lilac petals of two, three, four, five, six, seven: Each flower is a world, each petal a cycle of bloom and fade. Flowers bloom differently at dawn and dusk, yet the fragrance remains the same through ancient and modern times. Even if the wind blows and the rain falls, they still make the ground a carpet of red. Returning to dust, they endow new flowers with glory.DYLAN NASH

Those hidden in the capital for a thousand years ~ Fayuan TempleFayuan Temple is located in the south of Jiaozihu Hutong in the old Xuanwu District, hidden deep in the hutong alley. Fayuan Temple, built in the 19th year of Tang Taizong's Zhenguan era--645 AD, now has a history of more than 1300 years. During the Tang Dynasty, it was called Minzhong Temple, and it was rebuilt and renamed during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Fayuan Temple is also the location of the Chinese Buddhist Academy and the Chinese Buddhist Library and Museum. 🌈A Fayuan Temple, half of Chinese history Fayuan Temple is not only a historical it has a rich cultural heritage, including the Maitreya Bodhisattva incarnation of the Buddha in the Ming Dynasty in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and the Ming Dynasty bronze Five Buddhas in the Pilu Hall. 🌈The architectural layout of Fayuan Temple Adopting a central axis symmetrical layout, from south to north, there are mountain gates, bell and drum towers, Hall of Heavenly Kings, Daxiong Hall, Minzhong Terrace, Jingye Hall, Wuliang Hall, Dabeitan, Scripture Pavilion, Dabianjue Hall, East and West Corridors, etc., a total of seven entrances and six courtyards, the layout is strict, wide and huge, it is the oldest ancient temple building group in Beijing city. 🌟Hall of Heavenly Kings: The Maitreya Bodhisattva incarnation--Buddha statue of the Buddha in the Hall of Heavenly Kings of Fayuan Temple, made in the Ming Dynasty, is 1.12 meters high, bare-chested and joyful. Behind the Maitreya Bodhisattva is the brave and mighty Dharma protector--the seated statue of Weituo, which is made of bronze in the Ming Dynasty. On both sides of the hall are the four heavenly kings made of bronze in the Ming Dynasty. 🌟Daxiong Hall In the middle is the "Huayan Three Saints", namely the Buddha, Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, made in the Ming Dynasty, with wooden fetus and gold lacquer. The Buddha sits on the Xumi seat in the middle, with a halo behind him. Manjusri and Samantabhadra stand on both sides. These three statues are beautifully shaped and exquisitely carved, and they are top-notch among the statues of the Ming Dynasty. 🌟Minzhong Pavilion Also known as Guanyin Pavilion, the plaque in the Minzhong Pavilion is the royal pen of Kangxi 🌟Pilu Hall (originally Jingye Hall) The back of the Minzhong Pavilion is the Pilu Hall. In front of the Pilu Hall stands a huge stone bowl, with a double-layer stone seat. The body of the bowl is carved with patterns resembling sea waves, as well as images of mountain dragons, seahorses, and eight treasures. The craftsmanship is skilled and extremely exquisite. The Buddha statue in the hall is a huge bronze statue of Pilu Buddha from the Ming Dynasty. It touches the roof of the hall and is divided into three layers. The lower layer is a huge seat with a thousand lotus petals, and each lotus petal has a small Buddha statue; the middle layer is the Four Buddhas, facing the four directions of east, west, south, and north; the top layer is the Pilu Buddha statue, solemn and solemn. There are not many people in the temple, most of them are good men and women, and some devout believers kneel in front of the hall and chant scriptures. Just walk quietly like this, or sit quietly in a corner, and feel this peaceful and calm with your heart. I saw several kittens in the yard. One was sunbathing in the pavilion yard, and the other was strolling leisurely, with a look of indifference. At noon, the two kittens, as if they had agreed, entered the Zen hall one after another from different directions. I have to say, the kittens here are very Buddhist. You can take three incense sticks at the door to worship the Buddha, or you can donate some incense money at will. 🕙Opening hours: 8:30 to 16:00 📍Location: Located on the east side of the south end of Jiaozihu Hutong outside Xuanwumen, Beijing, No. 7 Fayuan Temple Street 📍Tickets: Free Fayuan TemplePathfindingPleasures1
The beauty of Fuyuan Temple in winter is quiet, deep and simple~This is my first visit to the famous Fuyuan Temple (also known as Minzhong Temple), which turns out to be a peaceful place in the bustling city. The whole temple is not big, only two or three courtyards deep, but it has a kind of isolated, atmospheric and heavy beauty! Especially the few mottled steles in the courtyard, from the Zhengtong and Chongzhen periods of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, etc., are all silently telling the stories about here...ExpeditionDreamer#3331

Fayuan Temple is very close to Niu Street, located in the alley, the door is not big, very quiet, after entering, I found that I entered and entered, there were actually several into the yard, here is a lot of green plants, it seems that there are volunteers sweeping the yard, there is a free incense place at the door, not many people are very quiet, The cats in the yard are happy too.
Fayuan Temple, the first name of "Mingzhong Temple", is located at No. 7 Fayuan Temple Front Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, founded in Tang Zhenguan 19 years (645), Qinghui Zheng 11 years (1735) renamed Fayuan Temple, covering an area of 6700 square meters, is one of the oldest famous temples in Beijing.
The spring of Fayuan Temple is so beautiful, tourists are like weaving, cloves are in full bloom, strolling in the temple, the aroma is fragrant, and the enjoyment is beautiful. It's just that parking is not good nearby, the parking lot is full of cars, and it is still a one-way line in a small alley.
Fayuan Temple in Beijing, founded over 1,300 years ago, is a historic Buddhist temple. Renowned for its ancient architecture, serene courtyards, and a vast collection of Buddhist scriptures, it stands as a spiritual and cultural landmark.
Next to Niu Street, the Tang Dynasty ancient temple Fayuan Temple Fayuan Temple is on the east side of the south exit of Jiaozi Hutong, which is next to Niu Street. There is a green space outside the mountain gate. This location is very interesting. It is next to the "big green bag", which is the Islamic School of Economics. This Fayuan Temple is also the seat of the Chinese Buddhist Academy. The two religions are so close together and live in harmony. Fayuan Temple is a real millennium ancient temple, such as built in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhenguan period Tang Taizong Li Shimin began planning, until the first year of Tongtian did not complete, Wu Ze Tian Gift name "Mingzhong Temple", the original intention is to mourn the soldiers who died in battle in the north of Liaodong. In the Liao Dynasty, the temple was destroyed in the earthquake, and it took more than ten years to repair it. It was renamed "Damunzhong Temple". The scale and layout of today are formed during this reconstruction. During the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty, the monks of the temple repaired the temple and changed the name to "Chongfu Temple". During the Qing Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty, it was designated as the Lizong Temple, and the name of today was officially used. "Fayuan Temple". There are many history and stories in Fayuan Temple, such as Song Qinzong Zhao Yu, who was captured by the Jin soldiers to the north, and was once imprisoned here; Song's widow, Yuan Yu, was captured by the Yuan Army in the defeat of resistance to the Yuan. He went to the capital, refused to descend the yuan, and died here on hunger strike; there were also the transformation of the new Fawei figure, Tong Tong, who had visited Fayuan Temple before the punishment; in addition, Qi Baishi also lived in Fayuan Temple twice, and now still retains the former residence at that time. The historical Fayuan Temple has experienced some disasters in the past thousand years. It is not easy to retain it so far. There are many precious cultural relics in the temple, such as the Buddha statues cast in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is still well preserved and can be visited in various temples. Today, I also occasionally passed by and found that Fayuan Temple was re-corrected. It was opened outside, and I rushed to the temple to see it. This is a large-scale monastery, with six or seven inches, and there are countless halls. It is a blessing to retain such a large green space and ancient buildings in such a close place to the city center. It is definitely worth cherishing. Admission to the hospital is free, and you can receive three incenses for free at the mountain gate. There are a lot of devout pilgrims in such a thousand-year-old temple. The temple is full of believers who kneel on the incense one by one. And because this is also the location of the Chinese Buddhist Academy, there are many monks in the temple. The temple is built on both sides of the monk house. There are several cats in the temple, who are not small in size, not afraid of people at all, leisurely play and bask in the sun, some people bent over to caress them and do not hide. Today, I saw a big monk feeding them water. Obviously, their relationship with the monks in the temple is very harmonious. I feel that the elements of history, culture, religion, ancient construction and other aspects of the temple are very worth slowly understanding the taste, but the introduction of the above content feels too little, it is recommended to pass the plaque, Online explanations and other ways to introduce more relevant knowledge to tourists, which is more convenient for the spread of history and culture. Now many cultural neighborhoods have also been formed around Fayuan Temple. For example, the "rotten alley" of the Internet celebrity has been built, and many Internet celebrity neighborhoods with cultural and creative elements have been built. It is hoped that the promotion of the ancient temple scenic spot can drive the benign development of the surrounding neighborhoods.
