As a place of inheritance of Buddhist culture, the planning and design layout of the Zen temple should follow the principle of combining tradition and modernity. As one of the core buildings of the Zen temple, the design of the abbot's room needs to be carefully considered.
First of all, the location of the abbot's room is very important. It should be located on the central axis of the entire temple to reflect its solemn and sacred status. At the same time, in order to facilitate the daily life of the abbot and the management of the temple, the abbot's room should also be close to other main buildings of the temple, such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the monk's house, etc. 
In terms of architectural style, the abbot's room should maintain the traditional ancient Chinese architectural style, with a wooden structure and a glazed roof to show the solemnity and mystery of Zen Buddhism. In addition, the interior decoration should also be simple and elegant, avoiding too much ornate decoration, so as to highlight the purity and indifference of Buddhist culture. 
In terms of layout, the abbot's room should be divided into an outer room and an inner room. The outer room is mainly used to receive guests and conduct daily affairs, while the inner room is the abbot's living quarter. There should be a screen between the inside and outside to increase the sense of spatial hierarchy and also protect the privacy of the abbot. 
In addition, the abbot's room should also pay attention to lighting and ventilation. Windows should be designed to allow for plenty of natural light and avoid too much direct sunlight. At the same time, in order to ensure air circulation, there should be ventilation openings in the room. 
In general, the design of the abbot's room in a Zen temple should focus on the combination of tradition and modernity, which should not only reflect the solemnity and mystery of Zen Buddhism, but also meet the needs of modern life. Through careful design, the abbot's room will become a tranquil and peaceful place in the temple of Zen Temple, providing a place of spiritual sustenance for devotees and visitors.
