Yuan Guang Zen Temple Introduction
The overall plan of the Yuan Guang Zen Temple follows the traditional rules of the monastic community. Surrounded by elegant green tiles and white walls, the majestic palace-style building in the north and the exquisite garden design create an exceptional scenery, resembling a paradise on earth. A statue of a deer resting on a Dharma wheel is sculpted on the side door, symbolizing the Buddha's initial teaching of the Four Noble Truths to the five ascetics at Deer Park, which aligns perfectly with the abbot's aspirations to revitalize monastic education.
