Tianmenshan Temple (simplified Chinese: 天门山寺; traditional Chinese: 天門山寺; pinyin: Tiānménshān Sì) is a Buddhist temple located in Tianmen Mountain of Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China.[1][2][3] The temple is built within grounds of some 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft) area.

History

[edit]

Tianmenshan Temple was built during the Tang dynasty (AD 870), and it was named "Lingquan Temple" (靈泉院).[3] During the Republic of China, it was destroyed by war.[when?] [3] After 1949, the local government rebuilt the temple.[3] On June 8, 2009, one of the Gautama Buddha's Śarīra was stored in here.[4]
