Temple of White

The Temple of White was constructed during the Txia Dynasty by the Prince Txia for his mother after she passed away. It was said that if she was not married, she would had gone to become a nun. In honor of his mother's death, he built her a temple, influenced by his travels to South Asia and Persia.

The Design
Inspired by his journey in South Asia, Txia instructed to have the Buddha in the heart of the temple embodied in clear blue water and white koi fishes. He also asked for a single white deer, elephant, peacock and rhino to occupy the gardens. The temple is surrounded by a great white wall. There are many several buildings within the temple, one to house the nun's and orphans, one to teach and the other acts as a spiritual hospital.
