Fo Guang Shan Monastery佛 光 山

Fo Guang Shan Monastery佛 光 山
INTRODUCTION 簡介
This teaching and learning center of Buddhist in South Taiwan is but an hour’s drive from Kaohsiung city. It is located on a low hill surrounded by colorful coconut and banana plantations.
The largest and principal temple of worship is the Dahsiung Baodien or Sacred Palace of Great Heroes(大雄寶殿)wherein three large 120-meter(400-feet) bronze likenesses of Buddha, sit in contemplative splendor in a spacious, rectangular shrine almost empty except for a large gong and drum in the corners.
If you turn to the right when you leave this shrine, the signs point and lead you to the Dabeidien or Temple of Great Compassion(大悲殿) where a large, standing white-colored Goddess of Mercy(觀世音菩薩) pours dew from a flask in her right band, a gesture meaning bestoying or giving. Her left hand is raised with fingers extended upward grasping a few willow twigs signifying assurance from fear.
Not far away is the gold-colored Buddha which is the tallest standing one on Taiwan. It’s 32 meters or 105.6 feet in elevation including the base. It was dedicated in Nov,, 1975.

佛光山位於高雄縣大樹鄉的東北區,高屏溪流經其東側。

民國五十六年,星雲法師為提倡〝生活佛教〞,〝人間佛教〞,遂帶領其弟子和工人建設此佛教聖地。二十多年來,佛光山的事業蒸蒸日上,不論教育、文化、慈善或觀光事業,都辦得有聲有色,而且在台北、宜蘭、嘉義、彰化、台南、高雄、澎湖都有分院,甚至在美國也創辦了一個道場。

大雄寶殿、大悲殿、大智殿、大願殿是佛光山四個主要的寺廟建築,大雄寶殿佔地1080坪,是供奉佛像的殿堂。〝雄〞取其勇猛精進之意,殿中供奉三尊佛,中央是娑婆世界教主釋迦牟尼佛,左邊是東方琉璃世界教主藥師佛,右邊是西方極樂世界教主阿彌陀佛,大殿的四面牆壁中有14600個小洞,每個洞中供奉一尊小佛像,洞的上方分別裝上小燈,下方則是寫著認捐信徒的名字,稱為〝光明燈〞。

〝東山日出〞,〝西嶺晚霞〞是佛光山最佳的天然景色。

佛光山最熱鬧的時刻是每年春節到元宵節這段時間,每逢此時,佛光山到處掛滿花燈。另外,每年四月八日釋迦牟尼佛誕辰紀念日(又稱浴佛節)均有浴佛法會。
