Baima Temple Introduction
Baima Temple in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City was founded in 1968, covering an area of approximately 688 ping. The main deity enshrined is Shakyamuni Buddha, with the Western Three Saints as auxiliary deities. The temple is named Baima Temple to commemorate the Baima Temple in Luoyang, which is considered the origin of Buddhism in Central China. It was initially established by two nun masters, Dawo and Jingding, who led a group to open the mountain and create a Buddhist place of worship. At the beginning, they borrowed three rooms at the current site from believers for self-cultivation purposes. Later, with donations from followers, they purchased the mountain in 1976 and opened the temple. In 1980, they constructed the Five Views Hall, and in 1984, during the construction of the Amitabha Hall, a flood occurred, causing the project to take two years to complete. In 1993, the construction of the Main Shrine began.
