Jingye Temple, Buddhist temple in Chang'an District, China.
Jingye Temple stands on the north slope of Zhongnan Mountains, featuring a central axis with halls dedicated to Four Heavenly Kings and Buddhist teachings.
The temple began its existence in 581 during the Sui dynasty and received a stone ordination altar through Emperor Gaozong's decree in 665.
The temple complex houses the Mahavira Hall containing statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha, and Bhaisajyaguru, representing core Buddhist figures.
The temple operates as both a religious center and tourist destination, with the Shanmen entrance hall designed by architect Zhang Jinqiu.
Recognized as the birthplace of Risshū, a Japanese Buddhist sect, the temple maintains a Buddhist Texts Library preserving religious manuscripts.
