EXTRA: Gufo Dongtian, Lechang, Guangdong

(This article was published in the Shenzhen Daily on August 11, 2014.)

This cave (洞) at "Old Buddha Cave Heaven" (古佛洞天) near Lechang,
Guangdong (广东, 乐昌市), was once a place for meditation (禅).

July 26, 2012 - The day after I saw Zhaoyin Temple at the Maba Man site, I took a long bus ride the other way--north of Shaoguan--to Lechang and another site that some scholars associate with Huineng, the famous Sixth Patriarch of Chan (Zen).
