The temple contains several halls and buildings distributed from north to south, including the Five Major Protectors Hall, Hall of Heavenly Kings, and Great Buddha Hall. The Daxiong Great Hall houses statues from the Yuan Dynasty that are vivid and unique treasures of Buddhist art.

2. About White Horse Temple
White Horse Temple is, according to tradition, the first Buddhist temple in
China, established in 68 AD under the patronage of Emperor Ming in the Eastern
Han capital Luoyang. Today the site is located just outside the walls of the ancient
Eastern Han capital, some 12–13 km east of modern Luoyang in Henan Province.
The temple, although small in size in comparison to many other temples in China, is
considered by most believers as "the cradle of Chinese Buddhism".
In order to commemorate the white horses that carried the sutras from India, the
temple was named the White Horse Temple.
Distributed from north to south along the temple are such buildings as the Five Major
Protectors Hall, The Hall of Heavenly Kings, Great Buddha Hall, Daxiong Great
Hall, The Reception Hall, Qingliang Platform and Pilu Pavilion.
The Daxiong Great Hall is the most magnificent in scale and the most aesthetically
splendid. Sanshi Buddha, Ertian General and Eighteen Disciples of Buddha are all
Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) works. Vivid in posture and unique in gesture, they are
truly treasures of Buddhist art.

5. 白馬寺簡介

贊助下創建。該寺就坐落於東漢首都古老城牆外，現今河南洛陽東方 12-13
公里處。寺廟比起中國其他廟宇，雖然面積不大，但是被大多數信徒認為是
「中國佛教的搖籃」「祖庭」和「釋源」。
為了紀念白馬運載來自印度的佛經，寺廟被命名為白馬寺。
寺廟建築是坐北朝南，排列分為五大廳殿，天王殿，大佛殿，大雄寶殿，接
引殿，清涼台和毘盧閣。
大雄寶殿規模最宏偉，最輝煌美觀。三世佛像，二天將及十八羅漢均為元代

藝術珍品。
