Weixi Bodhidharma Cave, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Tacheng, China.

Weixi Bodhidharma Cave is a Tibetan Buddhist site centred on a natural rock cave in Qizong Village, Tacheng Town, Weixi County. From the late Ming to early Qing, monks built a hall and meditation rooms against the cave wall. The cave is flanked by two monasteries: Laiyuan Temple, about two li north, and Damo Temple, about one li south.

The cave is a natural rock formation named for the legend that Bodhidharma meditated facing its wall there. In the late Ming and early Qing, monks built a shrine and meditation rooms against the cave wall. In 1662, under the Kangxi emperor, Damo Temple was founded about half a kilometre south below the cave, and Laiyuan Temple was later built two kilometres to the north. The cave buildings were restored and enlarged in 1904, destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt after 1984; a fire in March 2013 burned the main hall and its relics.

The cave takes its name from the legend that Bodhidharma meditated facing the wall here until he attained enlightenment. Two monasteries stand below it: Laiyuan Temple, of the Drikung Kagyu school, and Darma Temple, of the Karma Kagyu school. The site is a Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage place, and the cave buildings were rebuilt after 1984.

The cave and its halls stand on the hillside above Qizong village in Tacheng, about 30 km from Weixi. Paths and steps climb the slope, so sturdy shoes help. Dress modestly and keep clear of ceremonies. The main hall burned in March 2013, so some buildings may be closed for restoration.

The cave is named for the legend that Bodhidharma meditated facing its wall until he attained enlightenment. Before a 2013 fire, the site kept what were venerated as his wall-meditation image and footprints, plus Tibetan inscriptions and monk tombs. The cave and its buildings were listed as a Yunnan provincial cultural relic in 1998.
