Bao En Si (Temple of Repaying Kindness)
Bao En Si (Temple of Repaying Kindness) is located in Pingwu province in Szechuan, China. Built in the Ming Dynasty, with 560 years of history, it is China’s best preserved ancient buildings of the Ming Dynasty. Its structure resembles Beijing Forbidden City, and hence it is also called the “mountain palace.”
China being basically a Buddhist country has so many temples that are ancient and older than the United States. They are built on the principles of harmony with the elements and natures. They have been places of solace of millions through the centuries… China is a supremely old and rich culture and it is still largely undiscovered by many in the world.
Enjoy this video of a such a beautiful place of worship and also a rich cultural heritage of China, the Land of the Waking Dragon………..

报恩寺座落于四川省平武县，始建于明代，有560多年的历史，是目前我国保存最完整的明代古建筑群之一。它的结构酷似北京紫禁城，所以又称”深山王宫”。

It is so nice to watch this video of the temple and all the information as to the wonders why it survived the earth quakes. My point of view is that Bao En Si survived because of the blessings of the Buddhas as it is a place of thanksgiving by devotees for all the help that the Buddhas have granted to sentient beings for so very long. Hope that one day I can visit this wonder of the world.
What a nice temple, especially all the buddhas statute so grand and beautiful.
One of China’s national treasure, with a 560 years of history as China’s best preserved ancient building of the Ming Dynasty, Bao En Si (Temple of Repaying Kindness) has miraculously survived a very severed earthquake two years ago. This building has a more ancient and older structure built on the Principle of Harmony. Structurally, it resembled the famous “Beijing Forbidden City”, but how it can escape serious damages through the severed earthquake, still remained a marvellous wonder till today. Obviously,Bao En Si (Temple of Repaying Kindness), through centuries of solace for the millions of people in that area, could have received ample and more than enough blessings through its large representation of huge statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas andsacred images of many other holy beings. It is heavily endowed with positive energy, blessings and feng sui to be able to ward off any negative calamity. That’s what perhaps could have saved Bao En Si from ruins and devastation of the earthquake.
