As soon as passing through the one pillar gate which did not matching the Temple listed on UNESCO, I could see the unexpected wonderful pavilion in the name of Man Se Ru, which means live long life (10,000 years)
Why Man Se Ru in Buddhist temple ?
I was curious for naming of this pavilion.
Even though Live long is very important in every culture, but it is not core value in Buddhism.
In my guess, this naming is the proof of the mixture between Buddhism and Taoism.
But it is hard to say my estimation is correct.
It could be said as an intellectual play in my own.
The impressive thing was the scenery than the name.
The pavilion made very wonderful scenery with the surrounding features as below.

This pavilion seemed to be made the last gate to enter into the main area, but this building looked like providing us more beautiful than main buildings in this temple.
