We have already noted that images of Bodhidharma, Liu Tsu and the Taoist Chiu Ch'ang-ch'un have been seen individually in Chinese temples, revered in their own right; however, the images of the four other Patriarchs of Eastern Buddhism and the six other Taoist True Ones have only been seen as described in Chonburi and at the base of Hua Shan.
NOTES
