New Complex
In May 2009 the Shaanxi government finished constructing the first phase of a much larger complex in addition to the Famen Temple. With an area of 150 areas the new "Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Area" added 150 acres (0.61 km2) to the temple complex. The most obvious feature of the new complex is the 148m Namaste Dagoba and vault (see below).

—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural, a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body.”
