Shifang Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Wutai, Shanxi, China
Shifang Temple contains three main halls dedicated to Four Heavenly Kings, Maitreya Buddha, and Je Tsongkhapa across three distinct courtyards spanning 3,645 square meters.
The temple emerged during the Daoguang period between 1821 and 1850 of the Qing dynasty, later receiving national recognition as a Key Buddhist Temple in 1983.
The Hall of Je Tsongkhapa displays a copper statue of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher alongside one thousand miniature Buddha statues inlaid in the interior walls.
The temple complex includes 54 rooms and halls, following the architectural principles of the Qing dynasty with traditional Chinese design elements.
The Hall of Maitreya houses a preserved set of Kangyur, Buddhist canonical texts, printed during the temple's initial construction period.
