'Temple of Divine Light') is a Buddhist temple located on the east hillside of Mount Cuiwei (翠微山), in the Shijingshan District of Beijing.
[5][6][7] In 1071, in the Xianyong era (1065–1074) of the Liao dynasty (907–1211), Lady Zheng, the mother of the then prime minister Yelü Renxian, elected the Zhaoxian Pagoda to worship the tooth relic of the Buddha.
[5][6][7] Lingguang Temple was badly damaged in 1900 during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.
While monk Sheng'an (圣安) supervised the reconstruction of the temple, he founded a stone box in the ruins which preserved the tooth relic of the Buddha.
[6][2] Statues of Guan Yu and Skanda are enshrined on the west and east sides.
The statue of Bhaisajyaguru was presented by Than Shwe, chairman of State Peace and Development Council.
