A temple is to be constructed to enshrine the relics of Master Sengjia in Jiangyin where they were found.
The Jiangsu Province city held a grand Buddhist ceremony yesterday to lay the foundation for the temple. Among the monks in attendance were Master Yicheng, chairman of the Buddhist Association of China, Master Jueguang, chairman of Hong Kong Buddhist Association and Master Mingxue, chairman of Jiangsu Buddhist Association.
Sengjia was once considered a "Living Buddha" when he was alive and the reincarnation of guanyin, or the Goddess of Mercy, by disciples.
During the Tang (AD 618-907) and Song (AD 960-1279) dynasties, more than 200 temples were built in the country in tribute to him.
His relics were found in a porcelain vase last year in Qingyang Town, along with a porcelain bowl, a crystal ball, a golden thumb and the relics of an underground palace.
