 This
hall was rebuilt on its original site opposite to Kimnara Hall. It
is also a three-room building. |
 Formerly,
figures of Shaolin Saints Bodhidharma, Hui Ke, Seng Jie, Dao Xin,
Hong Ren and Hui Neng were cast around the statue of
Avolakitesvara, a famous Boddhisattva. Such was Six Saints at
an Audience with Avolokitesvara in the hall burnt in 1928. |
 Besides, there used to be 29 portraits of famous Shaolin monks on the wall. None of these are now in existence. |
 |
 "In
the original hall, there used to be a group of statues on the
shrine showing the "Six Saints Paying Homage to Bodhisvattva
Guanyin, with the Master Buddhists in various generations painted
on the side walls. The original hall was destroyed by war in 1928
and was rebuilt and repainted in 1982 after the old model. |
 Now
inside the hall are enshrined white Jade statues of five
Bodhisattvas: Guanyin (Avalokitesvara), Wenshu, Puxian, Dizang,
Dashizhi. |
| At both sides are enshrined colour clay images of the founder of Chanzong, and the second, the third, the fifth, and the sith generation Master Monks of Chanzong. On the side wall is the relief sculpture showing how Dhama crossed a river by means of a single reed leaf." |
