Shrine of Living Buddha, Buddhist temple at Divine Light Summit of Mount Jiuhua, China
The Shrine of Living Buddha features stone pillars, red walls, iron tiles, and white marble flooring in its main hall at Mount Jiuhua.
In 794, Silla prince Kim Gyo-gak died in a cave on Mount Jiuhua, and his preserved body led to the construction of this shrine.
The central hall contains a seven-story wooden pagoda of Ksitigarbha, housing over 100 small statues and the Ten Kings of Hell representations.
The temple, designated as a National Key Buddhist Temple in 1983, remains an active religious site requiring appropriate dress and behavior from visitors.
The shrine houses the naturally preserved body of Kim Gyo-gak, discovered three years after his death with life-like color and soft skin.
