Called Caotang Si in Chinese, the temple, about 40 km southwest of Xian, was found in 855 in the Tang Dynasty. The small temple is renowned for the site where a great Indian monk, Kumarajiva, translated large volume Buddhist scriptures from Sanskrit into Chinese in fourth century. Kumarajiva died in 413 and his cremation ashes was buried in the stupa which is about 7 feet tall and inlaid with colorful Jade carvings. The well in the temple used to win it a good reputation.
