楚王誦黃老之微言,尚浮屠之仁祠

King Yin of Chu believed in ideologies of Yellow Emperor & Lao Tzu, yet he visited the temple of Buddha.

黃老 => 黄老之学始于战国盛于西汉,假托黄帝和老子的思想,实为道家和法家思想结合,并兼采阴阳、儒、墨等诸家观点而成。

仁祠 = temple
浮屠 = Buddha

** Before this, Buddhism is an underground religion. After this announcement, it legalized Buddhism.
