Nanshan Temple
Nanshan Temple, featuring the architecture style of the booming period of Tang Dynasty, is the core of Nanshan Buddhism Cultural Park. It has been the largest Buddhist temple project approved by the central government since the founding of the PRC. The location was personally selected by Master Zhao Pu-Chu, the late Director of China Buddhism Association, who as well inscribed for the temple “Nanshan Temple” and “Heaven and Sea Monastery”.
The representative constructions of Nanshan Temple are:
Hall of Humane King, i.e. the entrance to Nanshan Temple
Golden Palace
The Golden Palace is also called Da-Xiong Palace. “Daxiong” implies inexhaustible power and wisdom of the Buddha. Three statues of Buddha are enshrined in the palace representing space. Sakyamuni Buddha is in the middle, Apothecary Buddha on the left and Amitabha Buddha the right.
The entire temple looks pristine yet magic, awe-inspiring yet luxuriant. It is by the sea and as it goes: the sky joints the waters to wash away all distractions of life, the waves beat the rocks to produce heavenly sound.
At this pure Brahma land blessed between heaven and the sea, there are countless visitors who come to release their good wishes, praying for blessing of peace and prosperity.
