International Bodhisattva Sangha Review

The Bodhisattva Temple in Dali, Taichung, completely subverts the traditional impression of Taiwan's temples. The traditional impression of the temple is carved beams, painted buildings, cigarettes curling, and the temple is hidden in a row of residential areas. Without careful observation, we still think it is a landscape restaurant. The Bodhisattva Temple takes the extremely simple and refined as the blueprint to construct another kind of quiet and solemn space.

I want to say goodbye to my illness. I want to escape from all the steps that people don’t want to go. There is a heart scripture upstairs that can copy the Qingshui model building Buddhist mattang. Autumn visit the Bodhisattva Temple Bodhisattva Temple is located in Dali District, Taichung City. The exterior of the building does not have the palace-style roof of the religious temple. The carved beams and painted buildings are decorated with glazed tiles, and the clean water molds are not fake carved and decorated as the architectural language, and the simplicity of returning to the originality is unsatisfactory. The Bodhisattva Temple has the simplicity of the clean water mold, the warmth of the wood, the symbiosis of the shade, light and shadow of the flowing water. Responding to the morning and evening, responding to the four seasons, responding to the remnants of the whole era, let the five senses open, let the "heart" feel the architectural experience, slowly walk into the temple, there is dialogue everywhere, there is always a sense! The architectural spirit of Bodhisattva Temple is to introduce wind and light to every space, sound and wind flow around the space. Out of the outdoors, feel the weather and rain; Returning indoors, echoing the ups and downs of the mood, the two link people and nature, the two shuttle, overlap, dialogue, listen to each other, follow the rhythm of the seasonal sequence, in the morning and evening and the transformation of the four seasons, appreciate the dialogue between heaven and human life, and cultivate people and nature, Harmonious balance between architecture and environment. The host of Bodhisattva Temple, Huiguang, advocates "practice in life, practice not away from life" ─ In Bodhisattva Temple, the building is implicit, the space is simple, and the environment is simple.

A very quiet temple can give busy hearts a temporary rest!

The Domain of the Huiguang Master - Speaker Copy the heart scripture; it can make people feel calm.

Bodhisattva Monastery takes the median as its sect. It actively advocates practicing in life. Practicing is inseparable from life. It leads everyone back to the home of tranquil mind and practices the life essence of Mahayana Bodhisattva's compassion and wisdom.

I think this is a very interesting place. It's a very unique temple. Unlike the temples we see in general, it's quiet and architectural. It feels like it's going from city to place.
