Fo Guang Shan is a large temple complex. Early morning and late afternoon are ideal times to admire the temple’s landscape and structures. The sunlight at this time is beautiful, creating an impressive, peaceful scene.

Fo Guang Shan was founded in 1967 by Master Hsing Yun, who wished to build a Buddhist center that combined academics, practice, and social service to propagate the Buddha Dharma and teachings of compassion.

What makes Fo Guang Shan different is the Eightfold Path area, where eight towers are divided equally on both sides, creating a landscape design highlight, expressing the quintessence of Buddhist teachings.

The space here is quiet and sacred, especially at sunset.
The image of the stupa of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the symbol of wisdom, one of the important Bodhisattvas, appears in almost all the scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism.
