Ask the ministers tomorrow, why is this God? "I replied that this god is a" Buddha ".
Ming Di sent ministers Cai Cheng and Qin Jing to Tianzhu (now Indian) to learn from the scriptures.
Cai Qing and Qin Jing retrieved Buddhist scriptures and statues, and took photos of Morten and Zhu Falan to Luoyang with Tianzhu monks. They collect scriptures and translate them in the Fissure Temple.

In front is the mountain gate, which is three arches side by side.
There are a pair of stone lions and a pair of stone horses outside the mountain gate. On the east and west sides of the mountain gate, there is a tomb of two monks, She Moteng and Zhu Falan.
From south to north, the five main halls are the Heavenly King Hall, the Giant Buddha Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Jieyin Hall and the Pilu Hall.
There are statues in every hall, mostly works from Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Pilu Hall is on the balcony, where Morten and Zhu Falan translated Buddhist scriptures.
The east and west wings are symmetrical.
The whole building is grand and solemn, with neat layout.
In addition, there are more than 40 inscriptions, which are of great value for studying the history of the temple.
About 30 meters east of the White Horse Temple Gate, there is a 13-story Yun Qi Tower, which goes straight into the sky.
Yun Qi Tower was built in the Five Dynasties. Originally a wooden tower, it was burned when the nomads from the northern song dynasty invaded.
This tower has a history of more than 800 years since it was rebuilt during the Dading period of the Jin Dynasty.
