The Royal Grand Hall of Buddhism,
the Head Temple of Nenbutsushu Sampozan Muryojuji Temple
International Buddhist Conference Hall
in Honor of H.M. King Norodom Sihanouk
This is the conference hall in honor of H.M. King Norodom Sihanouk, the very religious Buddhist and former King of Cambodia. It is 33.4 meters high, 40 meters wide, and 136.8 meters long. Its main hall has eight royal boxes and its seating capacity is 2,000.
The stone statues of Lord Buddha with his five disciples in the entrance hall are the works by Mr. She Guo Ping, a living national treasure of China, which depict a scene of his First Sermon at Sarnath, India. When the world supreme Buddhist leaders assemble in this hall and advance together, Buddhism that began from the First Sermon in India and diffused to other parts of the world will reunite as one, and spread and flourish throughout the entire world. This earnest wish and prayer are put into these statues.
* This temple is not a tourist facility but a monastery to practice the original teachings of Lord Buddha.
