Baima Temple Introduction
Baima Temple in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City was established in 1968. The building covers an area of approximately 688 ping and primarily enshrines Shakyamuni Buddha, with Amitabha Buddha and other celestial beings as secondary deities. The temple is named after the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, which is considered the starting point of Buddhism in China. Initially, it was founded by two nuns, Dawu and Jingding, who led a group to establish a Buddhist practice site. At the beginning, they borrowed three houses at the current site from the believers for self-cultivation purposes. Later, with donations from followers, they purchased the land in 1976 and began construction. In 1980, they built the Five Views Hall, and when the Amitabha Hall was constructed in 1984, it was delayed for two years due to a flood. In 1993, they started constructing the main hall (Daxiong Bao Dian).
