You have found us. That is wonderful.
Wutai Mountain has been venerated by Buddhists as one of China’s four sacred sites since ancient times. Situated 230 kilometers from the provincial capital of Taiyuan in northern Shanxi, it consists of five towering peaks. Yedou, one of its peaks, is 3,058 meters above the sea level and is known as the “Roof of North China”. With tall trees all over, it is a nice tourist summer resort.
Inside the Taihuai Town, which is engulfed by Mount Wutai, are 47 splendid temples, including Foguang Temple, built between 471 and 499; Nanchan Temple, rebuilt in 782; Xiantong Temple, built between 58 and 75 A.D.; Luozhou Temple; and Pusading Temple. There is also a galaxy of Buddhist relics that represent both the Green and Yellow Sects in harmonious coexistence.

if a stake is driven into the ground
to mark a center, when seen from the east it is in the west and
when seen from the south it is in the north. As this stake can
only lead to confusion, so is (your conception of) a mind in
between completely chaotic.
