Longquan Monastery locates in Beijng China. It was first built in the early Yingli years of the Liao Dynasty in 957 CE, so now it has a history of over 1,000 years. On April 11, 2005, it was officially reopened as a venue for religious activities.Ven. Master Xuecheng, Vice President and Secretary-General of the Buddhist Association of China, was invited to be its Abbot. Longquan Monastery invites elites from all walks of life including religion, academics and politics to come to give lectures, disseminate excellent cultures, enrich the knowledge structure,broaden the vision, exchange different thoughts and make cultural banquet.
The Sangha in Longquan Monastery has inherited the essence of thetraditional monastic system while absorbing the educational characteristics ofmodern Buddhist academy.
The temple is run by what may be some of the most highly educated monks in the world: nuclear physicists, math prodigies and computer programmers who gave up lives steeped in precision to explore the ambiguities of the spiritual realm.
To build a large following, the monks have put their digital prowess to work. They have pioneered a popular series of cartoons based on Buddhist ideas like suffering and reincarnation. (“Having a bad mood can ruin one’s good luck,” a recent cartoon said.) This past spring, they introduced a two-foot-tall robot named Xian’er to field questions from visitors, the temple’s first foray into artificial intelligence.
