Description: |
|
The Yu Fo Si temple was founded in 1882 to house two white jade
Buddhas brought from Burma the year before by a monk of Putuo
Shan. Destroyed and then abandoned after the 1911, the temple
buildings were reconstructed on the same site in 1918-28.
Now a monastery of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, the Jade Buddha
Temple serves foreign tourists and local devotees in equal
measures. The Jade
Buddha Temple is not famed for its architecture, which is very
new and built in a standard Song Dynasty style, but the two
Buddhas housed within. Both are made of white jade in Burma and
depict Shakyamuni Buddha (the historical Buddha).
The most impressive of the two is the seated Buddha, 2
meters (6 feet 5 inches) tall, weighing 205 kg (452 lb) and
decorated with semi-precious stones. The other statue is a
serene and beautiful Reclining Buddha about 1 meter (3 feet 4
inches) long. |
