Plan for the construction of the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas was put in place in 2000, at a site measuring over 6000m2, behind the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha. Being built in a design and style combining ancient Buddhist art and contemporary architecture, the Grand Hall will house the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Scripture Library, Dharma Hall, Permanent Ordination Hall, Exhibition Hall for Buddhist relics and artifices, and a multi-function hall. It will be the venue where scriptures and Buddha teachings are studied, and where Dharma and religious disciplines are taught, contemplated and practiced. It is also a platform for traditional, historical, cultural, and educational and tourism promotional activities.
