The Jade Buddha Temple (simplified Chinese: 玉佛禅寺 pinyin : Yùfó Chán Sì : literally Jade Buddha Chan Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai. The current temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism.These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 meters tall, 3 tons), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing the Buddha’s death. The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore. This temple was also pretty cloe where I lived and worked and like it very much !
Jing’an Temple (Chinese : 静安寺 pinyin : Jìng’ān Sì : literally : ‘Temple of Peace and Tranquility’) is a Buddhist temple on the West Nanjing Road in Shanghai. Jing’an District, where it is located, is named after the temple. This is one of my most favourite temples and used to cross everyday
