History
Tianmenshan Temple was built during the Tang dynasty (AD 870), and it was named "Lingquan Temple" (灵泉院).[3] During the Republic of China, it was destroyed by war. [3] After 1949, the local government rebuilt the temple.[3] On June 8, 2009, one of the Gautama Buddha's Śarīra was stored in here.[4]
