The Temple of Great Compassion (大悲院, literally Great Compassion Zen Temple) is a Zen Buddhist temple in Tianjin City, China. It was built during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1643-1661), which carries more than 370 years of history. The temple was once famous for holding a skull relic of Xuanzang, however, the relic was presented to India in the 1950s and is now held in a Patna museum. Today the temple is a tourist attraction, with entry costing only 4 Yuan Renminbi. It opens at 9 AM and is within walking distance of the main Tianjin train station. |
