White Horse Temple
It is said that the next year, the Emperor ordered the construction of the White Horse Temple on the south side of the Imperial Drive three "li" outside the Hsi-yang Gate of the capital Luoyang, to remember the horse that carried back the sutras. After the death of the Emperor a meditation hall was built on his tomb. In front of the stupa luxuriant pomegranate and grape vines were grown which were said to be larger than those elsewhere.
