Daxingshan Temple, located in southern Xi’an, was established between 265\u2013289 CE during the Jin Dynasty. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it served as a national translation center for Buddhist scriptures. The temple reached its peak prominence when three eminent Indian monks\u2014Shan Wuwei (\u5584\u65e0\u754f), Vajrabodhi (\u91d1\u521a\u667a), and Amoghavajra (\u4e0d\u7a7a)\u2014translated numerous Buddhist esoteric texts during the Tang Kaiyuan era. These translations greatly contributed to the flourishing of Esoteric Buddhism. Notably, Japanese monk K\u016bkai (\u5f18\u6cd5\u5927\u5e08) studied under Amoghavajra\u2019s disciple Huiguo (\u60e0\u679c) before establishing the Shingon School in Japan.

In Chinese Han Buddhism, there are distinctions between schools (\u5b97\u6d3e) and ancestral monasteries (\u7956\u5ead). Historically, eight major schools were established: the Sanlun School (\u4e09\u8bba\u5b97), Chan School (\u7985\u5b97), Tiantai School (\u5929\u53f0\u5b97), Huayan School (\u534e\u4e25\u5b97), Faxiang School (\u6cd5\u76f8\u5b97), Vinaya School (\u5f8b\u5b97), Pure Land School (\u6de8\u571f\u5b97), and Esoteric School (\u5bc6\u5b97). Among them, except for the Tiantai and Chan Schools, the ancestral monasteries of the remaining six schools are all located near Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, China: Sanlun School: Caotang Temple (\u8349\u5802\u5bfa) Huayan School: Huayan Temple (\u534e\u4e25\u5bfa) Vinaya School: Jingye Temple (\u6de8\u4e1a\u5bfa) Pure Land School: Xiangji Temple (\u9999\u79ef\u5bfa) Faxiang School: Daci’en Temple (\u5927\u6148\u6069\u5bfa) Esoteric School: Daxingshan Temple (\u5927\u5174\u5584\u5bfa) Xiangji Temple (\u9999\u79ef\u5bfa) Xiangji Temple is located in Shenhe Plain, Guodu Subdistrict, Chang’an District, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. It was built during the Tang Dynasty to honor Master Shandao (\u5584\u5bfc\u5927\u5e08), the founder of the Pure Land School. Revered as an incarnation of Amitabha Buddha, Master Shandao’s main teachings and activities were centered in Chang’an. Xiangji Temple, housing his 13-story stupa, has become a sacred site admired by Pure Land practitioners throughout history and is recognized as the ancestral monastery of the Pure Land School worldwide. Master Shandao initially studied under Master Daochuo (\u9053\u7ef0\u5927\u5e08) at Xuanzhong Temple. After Daochuo’s passing, Shandao moved to Chang’an, the imperial capital, where he clarified misconceptions about Pure Land teachings, established the fundamental doctrine of \u201crecitation of Amitabha’s name as the primal vow for ordinary beings to enter the Pure Land\u201d (\u672c\u613f\u79f0\u540d\uff0c\u51e1\u592b\u5165\u62a5), and formalized the Pure Land practices, thereby officially founding the Pure Land School. Following Shandao’s passing, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian commemorated his legacy by commissioning his disciple, Master Huaiyun (\u6000\u607d\u6cd5\u5e08), to build the 13-story stupa and Xiangji Temple in 689 CE. Huayan Temple (\u534e\u4e25\u5bfa) Huayan Temple, located in Chang’an District, Xi’an, was one of the Eight Great Temples of Fanchuan during the Tang Dynasty. Established in 803 CE (Tang Zhenyuan 19th year), it now only preserves two brick pagodas: one for the first patriarch, Master Dushun (\u675c\u987a\u7985\u5e08), and the other for the fourth patriarch, Qingliang Master Chengguan (\u6f84\u89c2). Chengguan, after the passing of the third patriarch, Fazang (\u6cd5\u85cf), further developed the teachings and authored commentaries on the newly translated Avatamsaka Sutra. Jingye Temple (\u6de8\u4e1a\u5bfa) Jingye Temple, located in Chang’an District, Shaanxi, was built during the Sui Dynasty (581\u2013618 CE). It served as the practice site for Master Daoxuan (\u9053\u5ba3\u5f8b\u5e08), a renowned Tang Dynasty monk who established the Vinaya School (Nanshan Vinaya). He is venerated as the founding patriarch of the Vinaya School across generations. Daci’en Temple (\u5927\u6148\u6069\u5bfa) Daci’en Temple, located in Xi’an, was founded in the ninth year of the Sui Dynasty’s Kaihuang reign (589 CE). It was the translation center for Buddhist scriptures by Master Xuanzang (\u7384\u5958\u6cd5\u5e08), who also founded the Faxiang School. The temple is recognized as the ancestral monastery of the Faxiang School and holds the same status in Japanese Faxiang Buddhism. Daxingshan Temple (\u5927\u5174\u5584\u5bfa) Daxingshan Temple, located in southern Xi’an, was established between 265\u2013289 CE during the Jin Dynasty. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it served as a national translation center for Buddhist scriptures. The temple reached its peak prominence when three eminent Indian monks\u2014Shan Wuwei (\u5584\u65e0\u754f), Vajrabodhi (\u91d1\u521a\u667a), and Amoghavajra (\u4e0d\u7a7a)\u2014translated numerous Buddhist esoteric texts during the Tang Kaiyuan era. These translations greatly contributed to the flourishing of Esoteric Buddhism. Notably, Japanese monk K\u016bkai (\u5f18\u6cd5\u5927\u5e08) studied under Amoghavajra\u2019s disciple Huiguo (\u60e0\u679c) before establishing the Shingon School in Japan.
