Yuanzhao Temple

Yuanzhao Temple (simplified Chinese: 圆照寺; traditional Chinese: 圓照寺; pinyin: Yuánzhào Sì) is a Buddhist temple located in Taihuai Town of Wutai County, Xinzhou, Shanxi, China.

[1] In the early years of Yongle period (1403-1424) of Ming dynasty (1368-1644), the Nepalese Buddhist monk Shilisha (室利沙) came to China to preach Buddhism.

To commemorate him, Xuande Emperor (1399-1435) gave orders to build a Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai.

They are the eastern Dhṛtarāṣṭra, the southern Virūḍhaka, the western Virūpākṣa, and the northern Vaiśravaṇa.

Inside the hall, two plaques with Chinese couplet are hung on the two side pillars.
