History
Der Pekinger Baiyun Guan (chinesisch 北京白云观, Pinyin Běijīng Báiyún Guàn, W.-G. Pai-yün Kuan, englisch White Cloud Temple – „Tempel der Weißen Wolken“) ist ein daoistischer Tempel. Er ist Sitz der Chinesischen Daoistischen Gesellschaft (chinesisch 中国道教学会, Pinyin Zhōngguó Dàojiào Xuéhuì) und der Chinesischen Daoistischen Akademie (chinesisch 中国道学院, Pinyin Zhōngguó Dàoxué Yuàn).
Qiu Chuji lebte hier lange Zeit und wurde hier beerdigt. Der Tempel ist der Hauptsitz der daoistischen Quanzhen-Schule (chinesisch 全真道, Pinyin Quánzhēn Dào).
白云观位于北京西便门外。为道教全真龙门派祖庭，享有“全真第一丛林”之誉。新中国成立后，中国道教协会、中国道教学院及中国道教文化研究所等道教界的全国性机构均曾设立在白云观。在广大道教徒的心目中，它有着崇高的地位。白云观前身系唐代的天长观。据载，唐玄宗为“斋心敬道”、奉祀老子而建此观。观内至今还有一座汉白玉石雕的老子坐像，据说就是唐代的遗物。 白云观的建筑分中、东、西三路及后院，规模宏大，布局紧凑。 白云观中路：以山门外的照壁为起点，依次有照壁、牌楼、华表、山门、窝风桥、灵官殿、钟鼓楼、三官殿、财神殿、玉皇殿、救苦殿、药王殿、老律堂、邱祖殿和三清四御殿。

宝莲禅寺（Po Lin Monastery），或称宝莲寺，为香港一座佛教寺庙，亦为香港旅游景点之一，位于新界大屿山昂坪，介乎弥勒山与凤凰山之间。寺庙前身为大茅蓬，由中国江苏镇江金山寺的顿修、大悦和悦明三位禅师建于1906年（即清光绪三十二年）。直到1924年，第一代住持纪修和尚正式命名为宝莲禅寺。
而刻有“永破无明是最安乐”的宝莲寺第二代住持筏可法师的荣寿纪念碗子被香港本地历史学者邓家宙所收藏[1]。
Po Lin Monastery is a Buddhist monastery, located on Ngong Ping Plateau, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
The monastery was founded in 1906 by three monks visiting from Jiangsu Province on the Chinese mainland and was initially known simply as "The Big Hut" (大茅蓬 Tai Mao Pung). It was renamed to its present name in 1924. The main temple houses three bronze statues of the Buddha – representing his past, present and future lives – as well as many Buddhist scriptures.
Tian Tan Buddha, a giant Buddha statue completed in 1993, is an extension of the monastery.
The Ngong Ping 360, consisting of the Ngong Ping village and a gondola lift running between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping, was built near to the Po Lin Monastery. The monastery boasts many prominent architectural structures, such as the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha, the Hall of Bodhisattva Skanda.[1]
This monastery is also noted for making wooden bracelets that are only sold near the Tian Tan Buddha statue.
In 1918, three nuns ordained at this monastery established a private nunnery called Chi Chuk Lam (紫竹林) on Lantau's Lower Keung Hill (下羌山). The nunnery is dedicated to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. There were about 20 jushi and nuns residing there in the 1950s, but now only an elderly abbess remains.[2]
