The Temple of Great Compassion (Chinese 大悲院, pinyin dà bēi yuàn, literally Great Compassion Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Hebei district, Tianjin, China. It was built during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1643-1661).
The temple was once famous for holding a skull relic of Xuanzang, however, the relic was presented to India in the 1950s and is now held in a Patna museum.
Today the temple is a tourist attraction, with entry costing 4 Renminbi. It opens at 9 AM and is within walking distance of the main Tianjin train station.
