[edit] Description
The Temple of Light and Children's Love, one of the oldest buildings in the city, is only a short distance from the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. In the 1st C BC Zhao Jiande, the king of the state of Nanyue, lived here. Under the Western Jin dynasty (265-316) the royal residence was turned into a temple. After that the building was chiefly inhabited by Indian monks who came to China in order to disseminate Buddhism. It was here, too, that Huinen, the 6th patriarch of Zen Buddhism, took his vows. In 1151 the building received its present name. Of the original 30 temples and palaces only about ten have survived.
