Visited Fo Guang Shan North Island NZ during Vesak day
(Sometimes informally called "Buddha's Birthday", it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Gautama Buddha) for prayer which is about 25km from CBD Auckland.
The Temple is adapted from the palatial design of the Tang Dynasty, using greyish green glazed roof tiles, maroon stone pillars and vertical slat window frames to project magnificence, grandeur, cultivation and strength. The courtyard is lined with stone lanterns of the Tang Dynasty, with pine trees, bamboo, cherry blossoms and willows imparting an atmosphere of grace and elegance.
The layout of the courtyard is the basic pattern of siheyuan composition. A few little cute monks sitting at different corners further enhance the peaceful and soothing atmosphere of this temple. This will be a place to calm your soul, to heal a "broken heart". wink!
Remember these quotes
1. Give others confidence.
2. Give others Hope
3. Give others joy.
4. Give others convenience
Be a wise and happy human being. Wink!
