Famen Monastery
The Famen (Dharma Gate) Monastery is located in Famen township, Fufeng county in Baoji city, Shaanxi province. Legend has it that during the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220), a pagoda was built to enshrine the śarīra (cremation relics) of Shakyamuni; the monastery was constructed around this pagoda.
