Fo Guang Shan is an international Chinese Buddhist monastic order and new religious movement based in Taiwan. The headquarters of Fo Guang Shan, located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung, is the largest Buddhist monastery in Taiwan. The organization is also one of the largest charity organizations in Taiwan. The organization's counterpart for laypeople is known as the Buddha's Light International Association.
Founded in 1967 by Hsing Yun, the order promotes Humanistic Buddhism and is known for its efforts in the modernization of Chinese Buddhism. The order is famous for its use of technology and its temples are often furnished with the latest equipment.Hsing Yun's stated position for Fo Guang Shan is that it is an "amalgam of all Eight Schools of Chinese Buddhism" (八宗兼弘).
Building plans for the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum (formerly called the Buddha Memorial Center) started with support from the Taiwanese government. The museum's Jade Buddha Shrine is purported to hold tooth relics of the historic Buddha. The site is situated immediately adjacent to the main monastery and covers more than 100 hectares. The complex faces east and is built along a central axial line. Beyond the Welcoming Hall are eight Chinese-styled pagodas on either side of the main avenue leading up to the Bodhi Square, about which are statues of the Buddha's main disciples and of the founders of the principal schools of Chinese Buddhism.
The path leads onto the Memorial Hall, which holds several shrines including the Jade Buddha Shrine. Above the hall are four stupas that symbolize the Four Noble Truths. Standing behind but separate from it, there is an enormous seated metal Shakyamuni Buddha 108 meters high.The Center was opened at an international ceremony on 25 December 2011 and the first anniversary celebrated on Christmas Day 2012.
佛光山是一個國際中國佛教寺院秩序和台灣新的宗教運動。 位於高雄大蜀區的佛光山總部是台灣最大的佛教寺院。 該組織也是台灣最大的慈善組織之一。 該組織與外行人的對應物被稱為佛光國際協會。
該命令由興雲於1967年創立,旨在促進人文佛教,並以其對中國佛教現代化的努力而聞名。 該訂單以其技術的使用而聞名,其寺廟通常配備最新的設備。 星雲對佛光山的立場是,它是“八宗兼弘”的“八大中國佛教學校的混合體”。
佛光山佛像博物館(以前稱為佛陀紀念館)的建築計劃始於台灣政府的支持。 博物館的玉佛寺據稱可以容納歷史悠久的佛陀的牙齒遺物。 該遺址緊鄰主修道院,佔地超過100公頃。 該建築群朝東,沿中心軸線建造。 在歡迎大廳外面是通往菩提廣場的主要大道兩側的八座中國式佛塔,其中有佛像的主要門徒和中國佛教主要學校的創始人的雕像。
小路通往紀念館,紀念館內有幾座神社,包括玉佛寺。 在大廳的上方有四個佛塔,象徵著四聖諦。 站在後面但與之分開,有一個巨大的金屬釋迦牟尼佛坐在108米高處。該中心於2011年12月25日舉行的國際儀式上開幕,2012年聖誕節慶祝成立一周年。
