<p>Buddhism Online reported in ZHENGZHOU, Dec. 29 Baima Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in China, will see a new exotic shrine, funded by the Myanma</p>
<p> government, rise in its courtyard next year, local religious affairs authorities said.Construction on the shrine, which will be designed, funded and</p>
<p> built by the government of Myanmar, will begin in April next year, said an official with the religious affairs bureau in Luoyang, capital city of </p>
<p>central Henan province, where the temple is located.</p>
<p>The 1,943-year-old Baima Temple, or White Horse Temple, is the first Buddhist temple in China and is considered "the cradle of Chinese Buddhism" by </p>
<p>most believers.</p>
<p>The 35-million-yuan project (about 5.56 million U.S. dollars), which will include a shrine, a pagoda and a museum, will cover an area of 7,000 square </p>
<p>meters, and construction is expected to take about 18 months, the official said.</p>
<p>In order to make the shrine in a genuine Myanma style, most of the materials and decorations will be shipped from Myanmar.</p>
<p>The Myanmar Buddha hall will not be the temple's first exotic shrine, as it is already home to an Indian shrine and a Thai shrine.</p>
