Historical evolution

Initial construction

Baiyi law court was built in the late Song Dynasty;

In the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649) of the Qing Dynasty, the Baiyi law academy was founded by the monk Jin Xiu, with only one thatched cottage.

In the 18th year of Kangxi (1679), second Zhan, a monk of Huashan, founded the main hall.

In 1740, when blind monk de ascended to Wutai Mountain, he traveled to Bozhou and decided to build Jiangbei grand temple. After decades of almsgiving, he saved money and bought a lot of land and materials for building the temple. At the beginning of the construction, Desheng monk was in Nirvana.

In 1760, Dong Jixian, a pharmacist from Shanxi Province, came here to do medicine business. When he visited Baiyi nunnery, he saw the Bodhisattvas in the temple and the mountain of building materials. He seemed to have known each other before. He suddenly realized that he was reincarnated as a monk Desheng. He could not help but cry bitterly. When I went home to ask my parents, it was true that I could speak when I was born and tell the cause. So he donated a lot of money to build baiyilu temple, which became a Buddhist temple with Shanmen hall, Daxiong hall, sutra collection hall, sengliao and commandment hall.

During the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the temple had nearly 2000 mu of land. It was in charge of the issuance of commandments by monks in Jiangbei area, and managed more than 100 small temples around Bozhou.

On the eve of the Anti Japanese War, monk Xiting took over as abbot.

In 1949, the people's Republic of China was founded, and baiyiluyuan was expropriated as a grain warehouse by the state.

In the 1980s, baiyiluyuan was returned to the temple by the government.

Renovation and reconstruction

In the 1990s, Mr. Tang Deyin, a native of Bo in Hong Kong, donated money to rebuild the Baiyi law academy.

On October 25, 2013, Bozhou baiyiluyuan held a grand meeting to welcome the Buddhist relics.

By the end of 2016, the new bell tower and drum tower were completed and put into use.

Temple Landscape

To commemorate the blind monk Desheng and the druggist Dong Jiwen, the gate of Baiyi law academy faces northwest and Shanxi. On the stone flat of the mountain gate, the word "baiyiluyuan" is written by Mr. Deng Shiru, a famous calligrapher in the Qianlong period. In addition, Buddhist relics are placed in the main hall of the temple.

Three treasures in white

Intelligent solder stick

The intelligent abbot of baiyiluyuan should be around Daoguang of Qing Dynasty. Baiyiluyuan is the Taoist temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Nanhai temple is the immortal mountain of Guanyin. Therefore, after becoming abbot of wisdom, he vowed to face Nanhai. The abbot of Nanhai temple and intelligent live in the temple. They exchange views in the morning and evening. They respect the cultivation of intelligent. They present the zhensi staff handed down from Nanhai temple to intelligent as a memorial. This staff has become the treasure of the zhensi of Baiyi law temple. I don't know where it is today.

Beiyejing

The shell leaf is the leaf of the shell tree in the kingdom of Tianzhu. It is as dark as iron. It is not only strong, but also not moth eaten and not easy to mildew. It is an extremely rare thing. Before the invention of papermaking, the people of Tianzhu wrote Buddhist scriptures on the shell leaves to pass down to the world, which is called the shell leaves Scripture. It is a rare Buddhist treasure. Song Yulu, a native of Bozhou, practised medicine on the border of Yunnan and Burma. He got this Beiye Scripture in the general's mansion. He was known as a Buddhist treasure, which was returned to the Baiyi law academy. Monks of all ages are extremely valuable. Not long after the Sutra entered the temple, the abbot invited Liang Zhe, a famous calligrapher in Bozhou, to write a postscript to the Sutra. Liang is a famous calligrapher in Jiangbei and has a certain position in the history of calligraphy. The postscript is elegant and beautiful, and it complements the Beiye Sutra. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Sanskrit Baya sutra was missing.

Myanmar jade Buddha

This statue of Buddha is carved from white jadeite of Myanmar and is a sitting statue. Commonly known as Baiyu, it is actually jadeite. It was brought back by a believer from Myanmar and offered to the court of Baiyi law. The material of jade Buddha is white and crystal clear, which is the first-class jadeite. The statue of Buddha is more than two feet high. It has a gentle and kind face and exquisite carving. It looks like the Jade Buddha worshipped in the tower of Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng. It is really a rare treasure. In the Qing Dynasty, the rare jade mine in Myitkyina mountain area of Burma was not long ago, and the quality materials were easy to get. During the cultural revolution, the Buddha statues were finally destroyed by the red guards of the cultural revolution.

cultural exchange

Three great precepts

During the period of the Republic of China, baiyiluyuan held three large-scale ceremonies for monks all over the country. Every year, Laba monks will give porridge at the gate of the temple.
