Guide to the famous Buddist Lama temple of Beijing. Building work on the Yonghegong Temple started in 1694 during the Qing Dynasty. It originally served as an official residence for court eunuchs. It was then converted into the court of the Prince Yong (Yin Zhen), a son of the Kangxi Emperor and himself the future Yongzheng Emperor. After Yongzheng's ascension to the throne in 1722, half of the building was converted into a lamasery, a monastery for monks of Tibetan Buddhism. The other half remained an imperial palace.

  • very interesting video on one of the largest and biggest if not the Grandest monasteries right in the heart of China, Beijing.

    This is the main focal point of offerings, prayers and also study during the Qing Dynasty especially during the reign of Emperor Qian Long.

    It is the source of Je Tsongkhapa's teachings whereby it focuses on study and logic which helped the entire nation to flourish during its time. read more abt this place at dorjeshugden(dot)com
