2022-01-27

This hall is behind the Temple of the Heavenly King and sits on a platform nearly two meters high. On the front of the door hangs a plaque inscribed in the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, "Lian Jie Xiang Lin". On the roof of the hall are three carved wooden algae wells, each with a dragon carved inside. In the lower part, a bronze horizontal Buddha of the Three Worlds is enshrined on a stone Sumeru throne carved in Chinese white jade and cast in the Ming Dynasty. In the center is Sakyamuni Buddha, in the south is Amitabha Buddha, and in the north is Medicine Buddha. Each Buddha statue is 3.2 meters high and weighs 5,000 kilograms. In front of the main hall, there are three supporting halls on the left and right sides, the left side is the Hall of Garan and the right side is the Hall of the Ancestors.
