Now there is a simulation tower in the center of Master Xuanzang Memorial Hall, in which there is an image instead of a spiritual bone. In this regard, Mr. Zhou once wrote a poem: "Incense is burned in the Great Hall, and Sanskrit sounds around the painted beams.

At present, there are hundreds of bronze, iron, stone and wooden Buddha statues in the Old Temple Cultural Relics Museum from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The temple also enshrined the spiritual bone of Master Xuanzang, a Tang priest, and gave it to Naranto Temple in India in 1956. This courtyard is one of the key Buddhist temples in China, with green tiles on bamboo doors, towering Buddhist altars and towering pines and cypresses.

The Great Compassion Hall is named for offering great compassion (also known as Guanyin with a thousand hands). The original statue of Guanyin carved by cypress trees in the temple was destroyed by "ten years of turmoil" At present, a golden statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands, 3.6 meters high and 4 meters wide, is solemn and attractive. Wang Jiabin of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts and his assistant spent two years designing and modeling in 1984. This new statue combines traditional Buddhist art with modern plastic arts. In the process of design and sculpture, we absorbed the characteristics of Guanyin statues of Xinglong Temple in Zhengding County, Hebei Province and Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao County, Shanxi Province, and showed the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva "saving the suffering", paying attention to the characteristics of kindness, kindness, solemnity, gentleness, beauty and no flattery of facial expressions. In shaping the hand, it changed the practice of exposing the arm from behind in Qing dynasty, and adopted the method of extending the arm from the shoulder and armpit to make it conform to the modern aesthetic perspective. Moreover, it has shaped so many hands from the body, and the posture of each hand is different. Holding various instruments, it should be organized and not rigid; It must look good, not messy. The arms on the left and right sides of the Buddha statue are arranged in a fan shape. Every time they form a pair of hands, their dynamics change and are interrelated, as if it were a slow motion, with dynamic beauty and a sense of music.
