The Big Bell Temple is a Buddhist temple located on Beisanhuan Road in Beijing, China. The temple's name came after the famous "Yongle" Big Bell that is housed inside the temple. According to a test by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the bell's sound can reach up to 120 decibels and can be heard 50 kilometers away from the temple in the depth of night. Many music experts, including some from the Chinese Acoustics Institute have found its tone pure, deep and melodious with a sprightly rhythm. Its frequency ranges from 22 to 800 Hertz. The bell weighs about 46 tons, with a height of 5.5 meters and a diameter of 3.3 meters. The bell is famous not only because of its size, but probably more importantly because of the over 230,000 characters of Buddhist scriptures engraved on it.

Why was the Cleansing of the Temple so important?

A:The Cleansing of the Temple was important in the synoptic gospels because in these gospels it was the trigger for the arrest of Jesus. The author of John's Gospel chose to make the resurrection of Lazarus the trigger for the arrest of Jesus and so moved the Cleansing of the Temple to the very beginning of the mission of Jesus, as a relatively unimportant episode.


Can you live in Big Ben?

NO!!! 'Big Ben' is the bell in the Elizabeth Clock Tower, of the Palace of Westminster. Two other named bells are 'Great Tom' in the Clocktower of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and the 'Czar Kolokol ' or 'Tsar Bell', In the Kremlin in Russia. This bell is cracked, and so has never been rung. There probably many more bells aroun the world with names, including the Liberty Bell in Philapelphia . USA. I suppose you could live inside these bells, because they are so big, they would keep you dry and give you room to stretch out and sleep. However, nobody lives in a bell.
