In front of everyone now is owned by three yuan temple, also is the door to yuan temple, buddhist temple gate said three, namely the three free door in the buddhist scriptures, is in the middle of the gate, the left and right, respectively is no phase and for the doors. The door also have claims of architectural form, to yuan temple three eight words in chaoyang, is a symbol of the wide knot good causes and conditions, purdue beings, meaning auspicious. You another door at the top of the blue background with phnom penh vertical rectangle plaque, according to legend, when the white light mage should leave main peak and the monk can't, had to please his name inscribed temple, permanent memorial, the white light welcome accidents, was written when he left it to yuan temple four word.

Now is north, to the house on the right side of the people inside are chanting hall, sutra depository, such as a few buildings, let's start from north hospital visit.
Everyone see the round door "CuiWei scenic spots", "CuiWei" 2 words or from the wang kwai garden, according to the record, the taihu, bought Wang Zhangfu in kwai assembled a large rockery garden, confusing CuiWei peak, for gaopeng insisted that was higher than the sutra depository CuiWei peak than now, it is a pity in the Ming dynasty was destroyed by the war. Built to yuan temple when moved away decadent residual stone, CuiWei peak in name only, the white light mage felt very sorry, and the stone will be moved to the temple right rear on little round top yet. Now return to yuan temple nearby "CuiWei street" and so on all is hence the name. "Scenic spots" two words here is to contain the color of Buddhism.
Here is the chanting hall, three holy chanting hall to the west, namely amida Buddha and his two collaborators shi guan Yin bodhisattva and trend to bodhisattva. In addition to manjusri and samantabhadra bodhisattva. Practicing buddhist temple shrine 6 meters high, 5 meters wide, cresting red sun shining brightly, two dragon sea, double phoenix chaoyang, meaning "in extremely good fortune".

Very interesting!
Under the good, please go with me to sutra depository, now we see the sutra depository was rebuilt in 1920, for two layer 5, about 25 meters high, first of all we see is the whiteness in the pavilion, radiant like jade Buddha. The Buddha came from yangon, myanmar treble in 1935 disciples, the jade Buddha weighing about two tons, the best preserved of Buddha in the temple in China. Sutra depository collection is very rich, with the southern song dynasty suzhou sand at the st institutes publication orphan "chut sand hidden" and "on the" print in the qing dynasty. "On the" 7250 volumes, intact, is one of the valuable information of the research on Buddhism in China. In the sutra depository of the buddhist relics of our country and foreign buddhist gifts, such as the northern wei dynasty stone Buddha, the ice crack net bottle of Ming dynasty, qing dynasty of the hollow out relief, pattra-leaf scriptures of India, Burma's sandal wood box, Malaysia's jade tower, etc. You can visit slowly.
In the sutra depository is beside the big shi ge, mainly temple consecrate guanyin bodhisattva.
