Hengdian Dazhi Temple

　　Dazhi Temple was first built during the Liang Dynasty (502–557 AD), boasting a history of over 1,500 years. It was restored and laid its foundation in 1994, covering an area of 280 acres. The restored Dazhi Temple revives its ancient charm with a rigorous layout, majestic momentum, and grand, towering presence. It houses the tallest indoor statue of Sakyamuni in China, forming a serene Buddhist sanctuary surrounded by verdant, willow-like branches and steeped in ancient tranquility.

　　Dazhi Temple promotes the teachings of Zen Buddhism. Visitors can bask in the radiance of Buddha’s light and receive spiritual cleansing. This is not about ceasing or reducing suffering, but about guiding people toward kindness and inner peace, as well as caring for life and attaining enlightenment. The compassion and wisdom of Buddhism bring peace and happiness, allowing people to quietly comprehend life’s true meaning, open their hearts to beauty, and perceive truth and goodness. Dazhi Temple is both a serene, incense-filled Buddhist sanctuary and a tranquil, picturesque leisure destination. Its delightful scenery captivates the eye, draws endless admiration, and inspires awe. Dazhi Temple has been designated as a martial arts film shooting base for Hengdian World Studios and is favored by many action movie producers. Films and TV series such as “The Romantic Swordsman,” “The Legendary Twins,” “Ji Gong,” and “Smart Kid” were all filmed here. With its unique charm, Dazhi Temple adds splendor to the development of Hengdian’s film and television tourism industry.

　　This is a place where people can briefly set aside worldly prejudices and release the goodwill deep within their hearts. It is suitable for stressed office workers, busy businesspeople, directionless students, and devout men and women interested in learning about Buddhist rituals and culture.
