Abstract:	Der “Tempel des Lichts” in Chile ist einer von acht Bahá’í-Tempeln. Die weltweit verbreitete monotheistische Bahá’í-Religion beruft sich auf die Schriften ihres Religionsstifters Bahá’u’lláh. Die ca. sieben Millionen Anhänger leben heute vor allem in Indien, dem Iran, Afrika, Nord- und Südamerika.
