BUDDHIST MONASTERY DESIGN

This Buddhist monastery is based on the largest Buddhist sect in Taiwan, Mahayana Buddhism, and is located in Shoufeng Township, Hualien County. The main design purpose is to provide a tranquil place for people to meditate and to find peace, a place for practicing wisdom and compassion, aiming to help people overcome suffering and attain nirvana. This concept comes from the most famous Mahayana Buddhist sutra, the Lotus Sutra. The Lotus Sutra states, “The Tathagata teaches only the One Vehicle, with no other vehicles, whether small or great.” The “Three Vehicles” (the Vehicle of Bodhisattvas, the Vehicle of Hearers, and the Vehicle of Pratyekabuddhas) represent the users of the temple (monastics, laypeople, and students).

User classification: monks, lay people, students

The “Three Vehicles” are the concrete practice of the “One Vehicle,” and the “One Vehicle” is the summary and essence of the “Three Vehicles.” It is because the practice of the “Three Vehicles” can ultimately lead to the same goal that they are also called the “One Vehicle,” and therefore, the “One Vehicle” has become the main concept of the temple.

The aim of the monastery desingn is to create a beautiful, harmonious, and meaningful Buddhist architecture, aiming to provide a quiet and peaceful place for believers to seek spiritual solace and opportunities for spiritual growth.

Starting from the entrance, visitors can directly enter the tourist center. The tourist center has two entrance, one that leads into the tourist center and one that leads to the main monastic area, which includes the main prayer hall where people worship the Triple Gem Buddhas. The open space in front of the main prayer hall serves as the puja space, and on both sides of the hall are the Boddhisattva halls. Accessible through a sloping road in front of it, the boddhisattva hall is located in the basement.

Surrounding the prayer area are buildings that serve as public utilities such as a school and an office. The living area is separated from these buildings by greens and lakes to create a clear boundary between public and private space. In addition to the dorm area, there is a plantation located behind it, which provides a space for residents to engage in agricultural activities.
