Nenbutsushu Sampozan Muryojuji Temple

  This hall enshrines the golden image of Sakyamuni Buddha with the height of 10.8 meters carved by Mr. She Guo Ping, a living national treasure of China. The dignified countenance filled with deep compassion tells how precious the Dharma is to everyone who looks up at the image. The boat-shaped halo inflected deep nearly reaches the crown of the head, whose beauty is outstanding among the known examples in art history. The transoms on the four sides of the building are decorated with sculptures of dragons and the 55 Buddhas in the past from Dipamkara Buddha to Amida Buddha, along with carvings depicting the life of Sakyamuni Buddha. The nosings are decorated with lions and elephants both protecting the Dharma. Also enshrined in this hall are Buddhist images dedicated by the Supreme Patriarchs and the supreme Buddhist leaders representing 33 countries and 1 region in the world as well as the Kings of the Buddhist countries.
