Records show that the temple was built by an eminent monk named Tanluan in the 2nd year of Yanxing (472) of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386—534). Master Tanluan was a Buddhist scholar, specializing in the Sukhavati Sect. He wrote The Twelve Gathas of the Sukhavati and some other important works. He won the respect of Emperor Xiaowen, who granted him the title of “Tan, the Immortal”. That is why Master Tanluan is commonly regarded as the founder of the Sukhavati Sect. 至隋唐时代，高僧道绰，善导都先后在玄中寺住持、探讨、研究净土佛学，讲经说法。玄中寺成为我国佛教净土宗的祖庙和中国北方的主要道场，在中国佛教史上有十分重要的地位。因此，唐代之后，随迭遭兵乱，但屡毁屡建，以至保存到现在。 In the Sui (581一618) and Tang (618—907) Dynasties, eminent monks like Daochuo and Shandao became abbots of the temple successively, where they distinguished themselves in the study of the doctrine of the Sukhavati Sect. The Mystery Monastery is the first temple of the Sukhavati Sect and a principal Buddhist temple in Northern China. Obviously, the Monastery occupies an important position in the history of Buddhism in China. Although it was destroyed many times during dynastic wars, it was rebuilt time and again so that it is now preserved as before. 从唐代以来，以云鸾、道绰、善导所创立的净土法门体系传到日本后，日本高僧法然和亲鸾，先后以三位大师著作为依据，立教开宗，建立了日本佛教净土宗和净土真宗。自此，与玄中寺一脉相承的净土宗教义在日本广为流传。 Since the Tang Dynasty, the doctrine of the Sukhavati Sect
