A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Holy Site Temple • Unique This province does not hold Dynasty cards. Reaction: Before battle resolution or before an action or trait resolves, destroy this card: Negate this Province's destruction from the resolution, or action's or trait's effects.
1. Holy Site enters play. 2. Trait "This province does not hold Dynasty cards." happens. 3. Use Holy Site to react to its own trait.
Is this legal? (In other words, can Holy Site react to itself?)

Taking this one to the Rules Junta.
(C)an Holy Site react to itself?
No. It has a continuous trait, and continuous traits don't resolve. Only triggered traits resolve.
We'll be making this clearer in the Comprehensive Rules soon.

Because Border Keep does not target, am I correct in assuming that you may use holy site in reaction to attempting to resolve either of the 'mulligan' abilities on Border Keep, destroy holy site, refill that province face-down, and then choose that face-down card in addition to any others with the Border Keep abililty?
Also, because gold production is a trait, I could blow up my holy site as a reaction to any player producing gold for any reason?

Kicked upstairs to the rest of the Rules Junta.

Yes.
(If) gold production is a trait, I could blow up my holy site as a reaction to any player producing gold for any reason?
Yes.
