📷 Xuanguang Temple 日月潭玄光寺

This is a Buddhist temple in the Sun Moon Lake area of central Taiwan I visited this year. During the Second World War, the Japanese took the bone relics of Master XuanZang from Nanjing China, and after the war in 1955 gave the relics to Taiwan. The bone relics were put to rest at Xuanguang Temple in 1958.

There were many tourists visiting when I was there so I only took shots from angles where I can avoid capturing people in the frame :)

玄光寺位於日月潭,離潭十餘公尺,為玄奘法師頂骨奉安所。玄奘法師的頂骨舍利在二戰中日戰爭期間被日本人從南京取走,戰後送給中華民國佛教協會,1955年靈骨來台,1958年安奉於玄光寺。
