On the road leading to the main temple
front gate are sculpted relief images
on the wall, all showing different
incidents in the immense and colorful

Bodhidharma to Huineng, the classical
Tang Dynasty age of Mazu, Shitou,
Baizhang, Huangbo, through the Song
Dynasty era, a time when Yunmen
Wenyan himself lived.
