During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when King Sakya Yixi of Daci came to Beijing to meet the emperor, he was given sixteen Arhats made of red sandalwood. Later, they were consecrated in the arhat Hall of abazacang, and the sixteen Arhats were wrapped up in clay sculptures. It is said that the sound of Arhats came from one or two clay sculptures. It is really wonderful! Abazacang, which has a history of more than 400 years, was originally the Sutra Hall of the whole temple when the sera temple was first built.
