Miaoying Temple, commonly known as the White Dagoba Temple, is located at 171 Fuchengmennei Dajie, Xicheng District, Beijing, China. It is a Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa monastery. Originally built during the Yuan Dynasty, it was first named "Dashengshou Wan'an Temple." The white dagoba within the temple, also built during the Yuan Dynasty, is the oldest and largest Tibetan-style dagoba in China. In 1961, the "Miaoying Temple White Dagoba" was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as one of the first national key cultural relics protection units. During the Liao Dynasty (916–1125), the area where Miaoying Temple is located was in the northern suburbs of Liao Nanjing City. According to the "Stele Inscription of the Stupa of Sakyamuni's Relics Built by Imperial Decree" (hereinafter referred to as the "Stele Inscription") by the Yuan Dynasty monk Ruyixiangmai, the temple's predecessor was the Yong'an Temple of the Liao Dynasty. Inside Yong'an Temple was a dagoba, inscribed with "Stupa of Sakyamuni's Relics," built by the esoteric master Shi Daojian on March 15th of the second year of Shouchang in the Liao Dynasty (1096). Inside the dagoba were stored 20 relic beads, 2,000 small clay dagobas, the "Immaculate Pure Light Great Dharani Sutra," and other Dharani Sutras, as well as other items. From the contents of the dagoba, it can be seen that Yong'an Temple and the dagoba belonged to Esoteric Buddhism. Later, Yong'an Temple was mostly destroyed by the war during the Yuan Dynasty's conquest of the Jin Dynasty, with only the dagoba surviving. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Liao and Yuan dagobas have been confused, with the existing white dagoba being mistakenly attributed to the Liao Dynasty. In the early 1960s, Professor Su Bai of the Department of Archaeology at Peking University discovered the "Stele Inscription" in the "Record of Distinguishing Falsehoods in the Zhiyuan Era" by the Yuan Dynasty monk Ruyixiangmai, clarifying that the existing Miaoying Temple White Dagoba was built during the Yuan Dynasty, not the Liao Dynasty. On March 25th of the eighth year of Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty (1271), Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, ordered the opening of the Liao dagoba, where the relics were discovered. He also ordered the construction of a new dagoba. The "History of Yuan" records that the new dagoba was completed in the sixteenth year of Zhiyuan (1279). Its purpose was to enshrine the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. The white dagoba was designed and built under the supervision of Araniko, a Nepalese craftsman who served the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Araniko had just arrived in Dadu from Tibet. As a disciple of Drogön Chögyal Phagpa and having built a Tibetan-style dagoba in Tibet in the first year of Zhongtong (1260), he was highly valued by Kublai Khan. After the white dagoba was completed, the Imperial Preceptor, 'Phags-pa, personally placed the relics inside. The "Stele Inscription" records that when the white dagoba was first built, it had many Buddhist image carvings, such as animals carved on the base, numerous Dharma protector statues on the Sumeru pedestal, the five Buddhas' symbols on the dome, and "objects held by celestial mothers," but these carvings have weathered away over time. In the ninth year of Zhiyuan (1272), construction began on "Dashengshou Wan'an Temple" (hereinafter referred to as "Wan'an Temple"), centered around the white dagoba, and was completed in the twenty-fifth year of Zhiyuan (1288). Because the temple was located in the western part of the Yuan Dadu city, it was also called the "West Garden" in the "Epitaph of Prince Minhui of Liang." Wan'an Temple was a royal temple of the Yuan Dynasty, belonging to the Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The emperors and empresses of the Yuan Dynasty used the temple as a place for prayer and often came here to worship Buddha in person. In the twenty-sixth year of Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty (1289), Kublai Khan visited Wan'an Temple and enshrined the sandalwood Buddha statue in the temple. This sandalwood Buddha statue was brought to China from Kucha around the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said to have been brought by the Kuchean monk Kumarajiva in 401 and was enshrined successively in Kucha, Liangzhou, Chang'an, Longxing Temple in Jiankang, Kaiyuan Temple in Jiangdu, Zifu Hall of the Imperial Palace in Bianjing, Qichan Monastery in Bianjing, Shengan Temple in Yanjing, Renzhi Hall of Wanshou Mountain in Yanjing, Wan'an Temple in Dadu, Jiufeng Temple in Beijing, and Hongren Temple in Beijing. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Hongren Temple was destroyed by fire. The whereabouts of the sandalwood Buddha statue became unknown. In the eighth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1433), the Xuande Emperor ordered the repair of the white dagoba and erected a small stone tablet inscribed with "Stele of Reconstruction in the Eighth Year of Xuande," which still exists in the temple today. In the first year of Tianshun (1457), the temple was rebuilt with funds from the eunuch Liao Xiu of the Siyi Supervisor, and completed in the fourth year of Chenghua (1468). The court bestowed the name "Miaoying Temple." Miaoying Temple in the Ming Dynasty was a Han Buddhist temple, adopting the architectural layout of the seven halls of a Buddhist monastery. In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1668), the Kangxi Emperor ordered the renovation of Miaoying Temple and the white dagoba. After completion, two imperial stone tablets were erected in the courtyard (both in Manchu and Chinese). Miaoying Temple was renovated by three generations of Qing emperors. Only the "I"-shaped foundation between the Yizhu Xinjing Hall and the Seven Buddhas Treasure Hall is from the Ming Dynasty; the other halls and buildings are likely from the Qing Dynasty. Miaoying Temple in the Qing Dynasty was a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, with resident lamas. Since the Qing Dynasty, the custom of circumambulating the dagoba has also emerged in Miaoying Temple, with the largest events taking place on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month (the day Sakyamuni first preached) and the twenty-fifth day of the tenth lunar month (said to be the completion day of the white dagoba). In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), during the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, stormed into Miaoying Temple, and looted the Buddhist implements, offerings, and other items. The treasures and scriptures of past dynasties were completely lost. From 1961 to 1965, the steles and Buddha statues in the temple were damaged. In July 1965, the White Dagoba Temple was used as an extracurricular children's activity center. From 1965 to 1966, the Buddha statues in the White Dagoba Temple were demolished with the approval of the extracurricular children's activity center, and some of the artifacts were transferred to Yonghe Temple. In 1969, the Xicheng District Non-Staple Food Administration demolished the main gate and the bell and drum towers to build the White Dagoba Temple Non-Staple Food Market. From then on, the White Dagoba Temple could only be entered through a small side door northeast of the天王Hall and west of the White Dagoba Temple East Alley. It is said that later, during the Cultural Revolution, when Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied Nepalese guests to visit the White Dagoba Temple, they could not find the entrance.

For a 20 RMB ticket, step into the White Pagoda Temple, gaze upon the eleven-faced, thousand-armed, thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva statue, walk beneath the Lama Pagoda, listen to the wind chimes jingle in the breeze, and watch the white doves circling overhead. Then, wander through the hutongs, turning at will, searching for traces of history, encountering the leisure of local life, and always catching sight of the majestic White Pagoda. Spend some time in a unique café, easily whiling away half a day. 📝｜Suggested Route White Pagoda Temple - Baitasi Dongjiadao - Arabica %Arabica Coffee - Suluobu Hutong - Qianchaoshou Hutong

When I got off the bus at Fuchengmennei Street, I saw the gilded top of the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple piercing through the mist, and the thirteen canopies became clearer against the backdrop of the azure sky, like a sutra covered with layers of rice paper. I arrived early in the morning and for some reason they were handing out free tickets at the door, but when I came out I needed to buy a ticket again. Going around the screen wall, you will see wintersweets buds climbing all over the branches beside the mountain gate, waiting to bloom at any time. The wind startled the copper bells on the eaves of the main hall. Inside the hall, there are exhibits showing the restoration process of the White Pagoda Temple main hall and the postures of the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple in different eras. Very few tourists make it a quiet place, so you can enjoy the exhibition. Leaving the hall, the projections of prayer flags on the caisson ceiling form a flowing thangka. There are several coins embedded in the brick cracks of the White Pagoda's base. Several believers are walking around the White Pagoda, probably offerings from tourists praying for peace. This white pagoda, built under the supervision of Nepalese craftsman Ani Ko, was completed in the eighth year of the Zhiyuan period. Kublai Khan's procession walked across the frozen Taiye Lake, and Master Bashipa chanted scriptures while holding a vajra around the pagoda. Walking around the tower clockwise from a distance of three meters, the white tower, blue sky and red walls form the unique style of Beijing. The scaffolding that Liang Sicheng put up when he surveyed the White Pagoda in 1937 is still there. "That winter was extremely cold, and the ink cartridges were frozen when we measured the top of the pagoda." The glass of the photo frame reflected the white air we exhaled, overlapping with the snow in the photo to form a dual time and space. On the terrace of a cafe in the alley next to the temple, the White Pagoda is transformed into a jade sculpture, and the golden top of the pagoda receives the morning light. The wind blows across the tower bells, and seven hundred years of time are scattered in the winter imperial capital. The White Tower remains silent, but turns the joys and sorrows of the world into icicles on the eaves, which will turn into the rippling sound of Sanskrit in spring. Tips: 1. The % cafe in the alley next to Miaoying Baita Temple is worth checking out. The small courtyard is pure white with a blue sky patio, which is unique in craftsmanship. 2. If you have time, drinking tea and reading books in the study of Baita Temple outside the temple is a life enjoyment. The above two places are excellent locations for viewing Baita Temple.

It was first built in the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1279) and rebuilt in the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1457). The White Pagoda in the temple is the earliest and largest Tibetan Buddhist pagoda from the Yuan Dynasty in China. 🌈Pictures 2 and 3 show that there are old Beijing residents living nearby. You can look up and see the White Pagoda when you walk on the street or enter the alley in the east. 👍The living conditions here are definitely not as good as those in buildings, but everyone has a good attitude. To use the words of old Beijingers, "we are down-to-earth." 👍No matter what changes happen outside, living in my own small bungalow and eating a bowl of plain noodles is all right. This is the mentality of old Beijingers.

I've only passed by since I was a child, so I found a leisurely afternoon to go in with my friends to take some photos. 📷 I don't know much about angles, so I just took some random photos that I liked. Everyone who goes there will take good photos! The fridge magnets and cultural creations are also very beautiful! Just buy what you like. Take subway 🚇 Line 2 to Fuchengmen Station, Exit B, and then walk around. No need for a guide, just walk around. There are many coffee ☕️ shops around. I remember there was a vegetable market there when I was a child, and it was very lively. Baita Temple ticket 🎫: CNY 20/person, no need to book in advance, buy tickets 🎫 on site.
