Bailin Temple, Buddhist temple in Dongcheng District, China
The temple features five courtyards arranged along a central axis, including the Shanmen gate, Heavenly Kings Hall, and Great Buddha Hall.
The temple construction started in 1347 during Yuan Emperor Shun's reign and became one of Beijing's eight major temples under Sakya school supervision.
The temple holds China's only woodblocks of the Tibetan Dragon Sutra, representing the most complete encyclopedia of Buddhism in the country.
The temple opens to the general public only during the annual Cultural Heritage Day, while remaining accessible to associated institutions throughout the year.
A horizontal tablet with characters 'Wangubolin' written by Emperor Kangxi on his 60th birthday decorates the main hall eaves.
