Li Ka-shing's temple is luxurious, refusing incense and only accepting 400 people, and the meditation room is bulletproof and unique
When it comes to the richest people in the world, everyone thinks of Li Ka-shing. That's right, he used to be the richest man in China, fifteen years ago he was a rich man, and he had a prominent position in the shopping mall. Regardless of what people think of him, he is an accomplished entrepreneur, a big man who can shape the direction of a country's economy.
Li Ka-shing is a well-known big entrepreneur, and like many entrepreneurs, he likes to give back to society, so he donated a lot of money to charity. He set up a special **, focusing on health and humanistic charity, to care for the society and nourish the society. Many years ago, he also joined the Temple of Mercy, a giant monastery in Hong Kong, and actively participated in its religious activities.
The monastery covers an area of almost 50,000 square meters, and a lot of money has been spent on this piece of land in Hong Kong. The purchase of land and investment in construction alone cost more than 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and if you include the operating costs after construction, a total of more than 30 Hong Kong dollars was spent.
From preparation to completion, it took twelve years, and the building materials used were very good. The whole temple is modeled after the temples of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the wood used is the best sandalwood imported from Africa, so the whole temple is filled with a pleasant aroma, which adds to the religious atmosphere of the temple.
In addition, the eaves are made of silver glazed tiles made in Japan, which echo the glazed tiles of the temple, giving it an antique feel, making it more imposing. In addition, the construction of this temple is very elegant, and the Buddha statues inside are also very amazing, the three big Buddhas inside are gilded, and they are also painted with 24 k **, which is sparkling and amazing.
Outside the temple stands a giant 76-meter-tall statue of Guanyin, the world's second-largest statue of Guanyin, which is cast in bronze, white and immaculate, full of holy atmosphere. In addition, the expression on his face is also very realistic, revealing a sense of compassion.
Since the day it was built, the temple has attracted a lot of attention, with some people once thinking that it was a tourist attraction that was open to tourists for free, and others burning incense to worship the Buddha. But in fact, this is a Buddhist monastery, mainly for the spread of Buddhism, for believers to practice Xi Buddhism, although it does not accept incense, but it is also open to the public, but ordinary people cannot enter.
If you want to enter, you must make a reservation and there is a limit of 400 people per day. Moreover, after entering the monastery, you can not use incense, incense, or incense, and you can live the daily life of a monk. Visitors are expected to copy Buddhist scriptures, meditate, etc. This experience has led many people to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism and has made many people become devout followers of Buddhism.
The people who come here experience different lives, the hardships of the life of monks, and the hardships of learning Buddhism. If an ordinary temple can bring Buddhism to everyone, then this temple is a place for ordinary people to understand Buddhism more deeply. Only in this way can we clarify some erroneous understandings of Buddhism and more clearly understand the original intention of the development of Buddhism.
In fact, the biggest reason why this temple does this is that it doesn't want tourists to disturb those who are practicing Buddhism**. Cultivators pay the most attention to tranquility, and if there are people who move around a lot, it will not be good, and it will also affect the meditation of monks.
Li Ka-shing receives more than 400 people a day, and sometimes comes here to meditate. He has a dedicated meditation room with bulletproof glass that can be used for self-defense, and can also be used to plant a bomb. Of course, there is no need for him to do this, because Li Ka-shing's net worth is very large, and he must ensure that he cannot let some lawbreakers do anything crazy.
It is a very attractive place for Buddhists, and it is not easy to have such a peaceful environment in a city as bustling as Hong Kong. Therefore, there are a lot of people queuing up to enter at any given time, with an average of 18 people, so you can imagine how popular this temple is.

If you have the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong, make sure to book in advance, and if you're lucky, you might be able to experience it for yourself.
