Mahavira Hall
The Zhihua Hall (Chinese: 智化殿; Pinyin: "Zhìhuàdiàn") of the temple is a building structure equivalent to the Mahavira Hall in most Chinese Buddhist temples. It dates back to the Ming dynasty and enshrines numerous Ming dynasty statues of various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and dharmapalas. In 1972, three wooden lacquered gold statues of the Buddhas Sakyamuni , Bhaisajyaguru and Amitabha (each seated on a marble lotus throne) as well as statues of the Eighteen Arhats which were originally enshrined in this hall were moved to the Mahavira Hall of Dajue Temple in Beijing (after the Buddha statues originally enshrined in the Mahavira Hall of Dajue Temple had in turn been moved to Guangji Temple).
