荷兰龙泉大悲寺，是中国大陆汉传佛教在欧洲的第一个道场，坐落于荷兰的“心脏”——美丽的乌特勒支市。大殿里供奉着三方佛和四大菩萨：释迦牟尼佛、药师佛、阿弥陀佛，以及文殊菩萨、观音菩萨、普贤菩萨、地藏菩萨。中国佛教的主要精神悲、智、愿、行，可以通过这四大菩萨得以体现。

Longquan Great Compassion Monastery is the first monastic establishment of Chinese Han Buddhism from mainland China in Europe. It is situated in the beautiful city of Utrecht in the “heart” of the Netherlands. Enshrined in its great hall are the Trailokya Buddhas: Śākyamuni Buddha, Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddha, and Amitābha Buddha, as well as the Four Great Bodhisattvas: Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva. These four bodhisattvas can be seen as the embodiment of the main spirit of Chinese Buddhism, including compassion, wisdom, vow, and practice.

早在上世纪二战前，荷兰华人华侨就开始了艰辛的赴欧生活。虽然迫于生计从事低层工作，但他们并没有忘却中华传统的伦理道德及2600多年的佛教悠久历史文化。同时，他们注重后代的教育，帮助第二、三代华人华侨的子女学习中文，了解中华传统文化，第二代、第三代华人华侨也逐渐活跃于欧洲社会的中上层。为了弘扬中华佛教文化，2014年，由56位华侨在荷兰乌特勒支省共同购置一处建筑，作为筹备佛教寺院的基地。共有不少于150位信众参与到寺院筹备工作中来，他们贡献着人力、财力、物力、心力，为拥有这样一个来之不易的场所贡献着自己的一份力量。

Early last century, before World War II, Chinese immigrants already embarked on perilous migration journeys in order to settle in Europe. Although most struggled to make a living as low profile labourers, they never left behind traditional Chinese ethics and moralities, nor the expansive history of over 2600 years of Buddhist culture. Meanwhile, they were committed to educating their offspring, helping the second and third generation Chinese immigrants learn Chinese and explore the Chinese cultural heritage. The second and third generation Chinese gradually became active in the middle and upper class European societies. In order to promote Chinese Buddhist culture, in 2014, 56 overseas Chinese jointly acquired a building in the Province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, as the base in preparation for a Buddhist monastery. In total, no less than 150 people participated in the preparatory work for the monastery. They dedicated manpower, financial support, material resources, and mental effort - every contribution for an establishment that is not easy to come by.
