Traveling through the Tang Dynasty in the west, Ye Yun lived in seclusion in a Taoist temple in Chang'an. After traveling for three years, he returned to find that his Taoist temple had been occupied by Buddhists and turned into a Huasheng Temple. At the same time that Xuanzang held the Water and Land Dharma Conference and Guanyin secretly promoted his plan to travel westward, Buddhism took advantage of its prosperity to gather all the incense and pretend to be compassionate to save all living beings. Seeing that the Buddhists closed their doors to avoid disasters when the victims were suffering, but during the Taiping years, they accumulated wealth and built golden bodies. Ye Yun angrily hacked the Buddha statues and exposed the hypocrisy of Buddhism in public.
