"Taiyuansi ֜ (later known as Western Chongfusi) in Chang’an […]" Chen (2002:59).
"Some sources say Fazang served at the Western Taiyuan Monastery [=Taiyuan-2] in Chang'an, but I agree with Yen Chuan-ying that it was the Eastern Taiyuan Monastery [=Taiyuan-1] in Luoyang [….] (also called the Fuxian Monastery and Weiguo Monastery) was established in Lady Yang's residence, which agrees with the statement in Fazang's biography that the empress established the Taiyuan Monastery by donating her mother's house."
