Dizang
Dian: Ksitigarbha Hall

 Di
Zang (Ksitigarbha) Hall, standing to the west of the 1000 Buddha
Hall', used to be in the Qing architectural style. It was repaired
more than 20 years ago. In the shrine, statues of Bodhisvattva
Ksitigarbha and his two attendants (flanking him) were cast. There
were murals on the walls, which peeled of long ago. |
| "Dizang (Ksitigarbha) Hall was a
building of the Qing Dynasty. It was renovated in 1979 after the old
model. Inside the hall a statue of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is
enshrined, with his two attendants Dao Ming and Min Hua flanking him.
Because Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha once said, "I will never become a
Buddha until the Hell is emptied", he is renowned as "the
Truly Magnanimous". On the north and south walls is are mounted
pictures of the Ten Princes of Hades and on the back wall a mural is
painted of the Twenty-four Filial Persons in the Confucian
tradition." |
