In the 13th year of Tang Dali (788), it was named "zenrinji", and in the Zheng De period of Ming Dynasty (1506- 152 1), it was named "guangde temple".
Guangde temple was the place where You Ke, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, became a monk. You Ke is the grandson of Tang Zhongzong and the nephew of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. According to folklore, Master You Ke is the incarnation of Guanyin. Since the Buddhism was introduced by Zen master You Ke, many eminent monks have come forth in generations, leading more than 300 mountains in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and were awarded the title of "the first Zen forest in the West" by emperors of all dynasties 1 1. According to "Magic Weapons of Past Dynasties", kapok cassock spread in You Ke, a pioneer mage of Guangde. You Ke Zen Master entered the palace twice to give lectures, and was named the Zen Master for Protecting the Country. Tang Daizong named him "You Ke" and gave him a purple robe. Guangde temple's enduring popularity is highly respected by emperors, which is closely related to his life experience besides his virtue of restraining Zen master.
When guangde temple became the Guanyin Dojo awarded by the famous emperor of China, the Guanyin Dojo in Nanhai had not yet been built.
