Badachu Lingguang Temple on October 25, 2021

Lingguang Temple, located in the eighth part of Xishan Mountain in the east of Cuiwei Mountain in Shijingshan District, Beijing, is an ancient Buddhist temple with a history of more than 1,200 years.

Lingguang Temple is the second temple in Badachu. It was built during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty (766-779 AD). It was originally named Longquan Temple. It was expanded in the Liao Dynasty and renamed Jueshan Temple in the Jin Dynasty. , it was renamed Lingguang Temple only after it was rebuilt in the 15th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. This temple name has been used to this day.

The Shanmen Hall of Lingguang Temple faces the southeast. In the Shanmen Hall, there is a pure copper and gold statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which was presented to the Thai monk king. There were originally five temple halls in Lingguang Temple, but now there are only three remaining courtyards: "Dabei Courtyard", "Yuchi Courtyard" and "Pagoda Courtyard". In the Great Compassion Courtyard, there is the Guanyin Hall in the south, the Buddha Worship Hall in the north, and fourteen companion rooms in the east and west.

The existing monument in the temple is the large goldfish pond under the cliff behind the temple. The big goldfish in the pond are strange in appearance. The largest ones are more than two feet long. Most of them are golden red and chrysanthemum. There are also silver gray, colorful spots and other colors. There are a few sky blue goldfish floating in groups. Like a piece of woven cotton. Visitors stand on the bank of the pond, and their reflections are reflected in the lake. Goldfish soon swim in groups, constantly spitting bubbles. If visitors throw in bait, they will be so active that they raise their heads to thank them after taking the food in their mouths.

It is said that the goldfish pond was built in the 16th year of Qianlong (1751), and was expanded and stocked with goldfish during the Xianfeng period. Next to the pool is the base of the "Zhao Xian Pagoda" of the Liao Dynasty, also known as the "Portrait Thousand Buddha Pagoda". This tower was destroyed by the artillery fire of the "Eight-Power Allied Forces". When the monks in the later temple were cleaning the base of the old pagoda, they discovered a stone letter containing the tooth relic of the Buddha Sakyamuni.

Going north through a corridor are the original sleeping pavilion, layman's courtyard and abbot's courtyard. There is now a Tooth Relic Pagoda built in 1958 in the abbot's courtyard. In the relic pavilion of the tower, a pure gold Seven Treasures Pagoda is dedicated to the Buddha's spiritual tooth. Because there are only two Buddha tooth relics left in the world, Lingguang Temple has become a place of worship for Buddhist monks all over the world. Dabei Temple in Badachu

Dabei Temple is one of the eight temples in Beijing located halfway up the Pingpo Mountain in the west mountain range of Beijing. It is deep in the dense forest one mile northwest of Sanshan Nunnery. Go up from Sanshan Nunnery. There are many strange-shaped stones on both sides of the mountain road.

Dabei Temple was a famous temple in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It was particularly popular during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. There are green bamboos growing in clusters in the front hall, with well-proportioned stems and beautiful branches and leaves. Generally, bamboo clusters are bound to wither in late autumn. The bamboo clusters here are unique. Even if they are covered with snow and ice, they are still green and green, which is a rare sight among the eight places. The temple is built halfway up Pingpo Mountain.

The present Yinji Temple is located in the west of the capital city. Its land is straight and round, connected to the green boundary. The mountains reach here, and the mountains and longs are winding back. The wind is accumulated, there are trees and springs, and the clouds and water are clear in all directions. Many people gathered there, and there was room behind the temple, so it was called Dabei Pavilion.
