New Zealand: North Island Fo Guang Shan 'It's great to have you!'

📍North Island Fo Guang Shan is located at 16 Stancombe Road, East Tamaki, Auckland, New Zealand. 🌟North Island Fo Guang Shan, built in 1999, is a large Buddhist temple with Chinese Tang Dynasty architectural style. The overall architecture includes the Great Hero Hall, Great Compassion Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Zen Hall, Ocean Meeting Hall, Dripping Water Pavilion, Five Observations Hall, Guest Hall, and a vast Dan Chi Garden. The pine trees, green bamboo, cherry blossoms, and willows planted in the temple add a spiritual aura to the place. On both sides of the Fo Guang Shan Guanyin Hall, there are two bell towers, each housing a large and a small bell, which are one of the important Buddhist cultural attractions of Fo Guang Shan. In addition, a unique feature of Fo Guang Shan is the Tang-style stone lantern in the central square, which gives the Buddhist temple a solemn and serious atmosphere with a touch of old charm. ❤Master Hsing Yun once said at the consecration ceremony of the Great Hero Hall: The consecration of North Island Fo Guang Shan is like building a refueling station for life and soul; it is not just a temple, but also a place for ethnic and cultural exchanges. Whether Maori, Kiwi, Australian or Chinese, everyone is equal here, and it's not just about worship when coming here. 👍In the Fo Guang Shan Respect Hall, you can see Master Hsing Yun's calligraphy masterpiece 'It's great to have you!' Through these works, Master Hsing Yun conveys his compassion and wisdom, allowing people to feel the warmth and power of Buddhist culture.
