Jietai Building in Yonghe Temple, Beijing

The Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty ordered the building to be constructed in 1780 to welcome the Sixth Panchen Erdeni from Tibet. Now it is used as an exhibtion room where treasures in the Yonghe Lama Temple are displayed. Many of the treasures were presented by important Tibetan figures (e.g. Panchen Erdeni and Dalai Lama of different times) to the royal court and the Lama Temple. These treasures, with high historical and artistic value, convey the sublimity and appeal of Tibetan Buddhism.
