Now you can see a "blue screen" at the entrance of the temple. It says "Maitreya Dojo" impressively, and on the back of the zhaobi is "Jin Dynasty Ancient Temple".

In the morning hall, monks recite the name of Maitreya Buddha, so it is called Maitreya Dojo.

Behind Maitreya Buddha Hall is Mahayana Mahayana Hall. The building area is 800 square meters, and three Tathagata Buddha statues are enshrined in the temple. The Buddha sits on a lotus platform with eighteen arhats on two walls. There is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the back of the main hall, with 32 incarnations in the background. On both sides of the back wall of the temple are enshrined Manjusri Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva riding a white elephant and a green lion.

Behind the Hall of Ursa Major is the Scripture Pavilion. It's a two-story building, with the Dharma Hall on the first floor and the Buddhist Scripture Building on the second floor. Here are the Tibetan scriptures presented by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.

Maitreya Buddha is 33 meters high, and there are 33 heavy days in the sky. Before Maitreya became a Buddha, he lived in a pocket palace, which had 33 days. The whole Buddha statue is 56.7 meters high, because Maitreya will descend to earth in 5.67 billion years, that is, become a Buddha. The whole giant Buddha is made of more than 500 tons of tin bronze, and its interior is supported by more than 400 tons of steel skeleton. There are 332 steps from the square to the Buddha statue, because 3, 6 and 9 are auspicious numbers in Buddhism.

The Buddha statue has a lotus seat of 9 meters and 56 lotus petals, representing 56 ethnic groups. The Buddha holds a cloth bag in his left hand and beads in his right. Beads represent wisdom, and cloth bags represent the responsibilities raised and the burdens put down. I hope that when I come to the future Buddha, the world will be harmonious, and the earth and the universe will be harmonious.
