Tongjiao Temple, Buddhist temple in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China.
The 700-square-meter Tongjiao Temple features multiple halls including Mahavira Hall, Hall of Sangharama Palace, and Reception Hall arranged in traditional Chinese architecture.
Founded during the Ming dynasty by an eunuch, Tongjiao Temple underwent reconstruction in 1942 when Buddhist disciples Kaihui, Tongyuan, and Shengyu added several new halls.
The temple functions as Beijing's only Bhikkhuni temple, where female Buddhist monastics maintain religious practices and traditions according to established protocols.
Located at 19 Zhenxian Lane, Dongzhimennei North Street, the temple welcomes visitors from 08:30 to 16:30 without charging admission fees.
The temple established Bajing Xueyuan, a Buddhist school that gained recognition before the Cultural Revolution forced its closure and destroyed many religious artifacts.
