As his life motto, Master Hsing Yun (the founder of Fo Guang Shan) says, "The grace of dripping water is replenished by the fountain".


This motto is used to teach us that people with predestined relationships in the ten positions can connect with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in order to repay kindness.

The Chung Mei Temple Zen Garden is a place for meditating and relaxing with nature.  Rather than just show its beauty, the Zen Garden strives to immerse people in the depths of nature, demonstrating purity and simplicity, as well as a kind of plain, subtle, simple and ethereal beauty.

The Chung Mei Temple Columbarium provides a blissful, loving and resting place for the deceased as well as provide a peace setting for families and friends to pay their respects to their love ones.


Humanistic Buddhism seeks to promote filial piety and gratitude with blessing by Buddha and Bodhisattvas through the use of the Columbarium. The Chung Mei Temple is honored to serve all members of the public regardless of race or religious faith.
