True Relic Pagoda, Famen Temple, Xi'an, Shaanxi




The "True Relic Pagoda" (圣真身宝塔) at Famen Temple (法门寺) in Xi'an, Shaanxi (陕西, 西安市), collapsed in 1981, and relics (舍利子), including a finger bone of the Buddha (佛), were found there in 1987. The relic is now on display in a modern "pagoda" nearby. (Sorry! No time to add temple or feature links now; I'll catch up when I can.)
