Youguo Temple (Chinese: 佑國寺) is a Buddhist monastery complex located northeast of Kaifeng, in Henan province, China. It was built during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 CE). The design features the Iron Pagoda towering in the center of the complex, in a style that flourished in Chinese Buddhist temple architecture through the 11th century.
Famous quotes containing the word temple:
“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, who rules all creation!
O my soul, worship the source of thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to God’s temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!”
