Linji Temple, Buddhist temple in Zhengding Town, China
The Linji Temple features traditional Chinese architecture with multiple halls containing Buddhist statues, including the Mahavira Hall housing figures of Shakyamuni and Kassapa Buddha.
The temple was established in 540 AD during the Eastern Wei period and later became the birthplace of the Linji school under Master Linji Yixuan in 854.
The temple serves as the origin point of the Linji school of Buddhism, which spread to Japan and influenced Buddhist practices across East Asia.
The temple complex includes gardens, a bell tower, and various halls where visitors can observe Buddhist ceremonies and architectural elements from different periods.
The Chengling Stupa within the temple grounds maintains its original architectural characteristics from the Liao and Jin dynasties of the 10th to 13th centuries.
