Beijing Tong Education Temple (in simplified Chinese北京通教寺) is located in 19 North Needlework street. The temple covers an area of more than 2.5 thousand square meters. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and in Qing Dynasty it changed its name to “Tong Education Buddhist temple.” In 1942 under the supervision of the monks coming from Fujian to Beijing, the temple was opened, and there were two monks managing the temple. After a monastery expansion, the temple changed its name to “Tong Education Temple.”

Qualcomm Education section at Temple had undergone several renovation works, adding the western end of the temple for the Main Hall and also the second floor. The North wing has the West Hall for Garan and there are seven southern side halls in the temple, three for the middle and both sides equally share the rest ones. As a founder of the West Temple, Tung Tau has a room named after him. In 1943, Marconi set up the new education section in the temple to teach poor children, and Education Temple took the chance to raise fund and renovate itself to build book store, and early in 1981, the temple was re-repair and became much well-facilitated for being a temple providing education for children.

 

The temple is quite special in China, because it has a quite large area and there are a lot of great artworks in the temple. This temple, in fact, does not carry a strong sense of religion and instead, it is a quite good place for people to have a relaxing holiday.

 

When staying in this temple, you would be able to look at the nature in a relaxing manner and you would be able to feel the power of nature and after visiting the temple, you would find that the little breeze in the temple is very enjoyable and the beautiful relaxing view would seldom be found in nature.
