Three major events took place upon the transmission of Chan Buddhism in China. The first was Bodhidharma's wall meditation, the second, Shenguang severing his arm, and the third was Princess Yongtai leaving home to become a Buddhist Nun.

Yongtai Monastery was the first imperial Buddhist Nunnery in China following the arrival of Chan Buddhism. Located Northwest of Dengfeng City (登封) on the Western foothills of Taishi Mountain (Chin.: Tàishìshān 太室山) facing the Shaolin Monastery, it was first built during the Northern Wei Dynasty (Chin.: běiwèi 北魏, 386-534), with the original name Minglian Monastery (Chin.: Míngliànsì 明练寺).

How can I contact this nunnery to repurchase a small pendant I purchased there in 2008 and was stolen from me in 2009?

Hi,

You can email to [email protected] and see what they can do, otherwise there are some contact phone numbers if you speak Chinese, to contact them directly.

Beyond that, you would probably need someone over there who could help you.
