Is the Virtual Cloud Memorial Hall of Nanhua Temple a real person?

No. There is a statue of an old monk in the empty chest building of Nanhua Temple, and the pagoda of the old monk is in the empty chest building. The relic is the product of cremation after the death of the old monk. It can be inferred that the sitting statue of the old monk in the empty chest building is not the real body, but a simulated body image made by imitating the real body of the six ancestors, so the Virtual Cloud Memorial Hall in Nanhua Temple is not the real body. Nanhua Temple is one of the most famous Zen temples in Lingnan, and it is also a place to worship Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Buddhism.
