碧雲寺內牌楼石桂俱刻人物
No. 892, PI-YUEN-TSZU TEMPLE.
This is a portion of a superb avenue containing the finest sculpture of the temple, it leads through several arches, and over some small bridges, to a large marble pagoda elaborately carved with illustrations of the life of Buddha.
The religion of Buddha is very popular in China and was introduced into the country from India early in the first century of the Christian era.
The Monks living in this monastery appear to lead quiet and harmless lives, and judging from the appearance of neglect of even their finest temples they are also very lazy.
