Dharma Drum Mountain 法鼓山, JinShan, Taipei
This is the Main Entrance of Dharma Drum Mountain.
This is the Main Shrine - Grand Buddha Hall where statues of Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha , and Medicine Buddha are enshrined.
Building I where the Main shrine (6th level) is, also houses the Founding History Memorial Hall (3rd level) and Auxiliary Hall (4th level). All worth visiting!
Memorial flights of stairs that we have to climb everyday. (Lift usage is strongly discouraged for the abled as an energy conservation effort)
Above is the Meditation Centre or Chan Hall which is generally not open to public except during meditation retreat to the participants. Its interior and accommodation quarters has a Zen touch. In it, there is also a carefully planned outdoor area for meditation. No photography is allowed after the main entrance. (According to a volunteer, if you listen carefully to the birds singing around the Meditation centre, they are are singing "Guanyin Pusa" , so do pay attention when you are around the area:-))
Wish Fulfilling Guanyin Hall where people can pray and make wishes and vows is located at 3rd level of Building II. The building's 1st level is where the bus terminal is, its 2nd level houses the Visitor Service Centre, Briefing room (for watching short film introducing DDM) , a Light Refreshment Cafe and Dharma Shop .
Exterior Platform walk to Main Shrine, see the 2nd visible tree from left? What did you notice?
The platform with design to cater to the tree trunks in a way not to hinder their growth.
Besides Building I, is the Dharma Drum Buddhist College and the library that is open to public with Internet access stations provided.
Guess how old are these fig trees in front of the library ? Known as the "Seven Buddhas", these 7 trees have been the natural habitants at the mountain for more than 100years.
