Clay Buddha
Miaoshi Temple behind Evergreen Hotel in Jiaoxi Township
AD 1959
Master Jiuzhi and nearby residents jointly built a round pagoda in front of the temple
I asked Master Chen Luguan from the Xuan Buddha Shop in Lushan, Taipei, to make a giant Buddha.
The giant Buddha is made of local green bamboo and soil from Jiaoxi
Linen and other materials for base shaping
Then paint and paint An Jinhou
It took two years to complete
This giant Buddha is about 5 meters high, 3.3 meters wide, and weighs 11 tons, including the base.
Housed in a round tower
For the public to worship Buddha
2006 Jiaoxi Township handles urban planning

Must be relocated or demolished
later
Obtained the consent of the abbot of Beihou Temple in Yuanshan Township at that time
Move the giant Buddha to Beihou Temple for worship
The central hall houses the clay statue of the Buddha.
That is Shakyamuni Buddha
Please light the lamp and worship the Buddha
Start visiting again
As soon as you enter the mountain gate
The first thing I saw was Maitreya Bodhisattva
That smile on his face tells us
If you want to learn Buddhism, you must welcome others with a smile
Must be happy
Next, Maitreya Bodhisattva has a big belly
It means everything can be tolerated
Don't care about anyone
Bodhisattva teaches us
Treat everyone and everything with joy
My heart is peaceful
Don't argue with anyone
Only with such conditions can one enter Buddhism
Have you noticed that the Four Heavenly Kings in the main hall are oil paintings?
very rare
This is Master Chen Shizhong, a master of Buddhist painting
Completed in collaboration with two other teachers
It took a total of 8 months
The four heavenly kings all hold props in their hands
These props are also expressions
The King of the East is holding the pipa instrument
It means don’t do things too hastily
Just like playing the piano
The strings are loose and I can't play.
If it's tight, it'll break.
Do things in a moderate way
Don't be too hasty
We must be responsible and perform our duties
To do it just right
Don't overdo it
Can't do it
This would be very satisfying
The representative of the Southern King is new and fresh every day
represents growth
The sword in his hand is called Hui Jian
Wisdom sword cuts off worries
The King of the West has a dragon wrapped around him
represents change
Everything and everyone in this world
fickle
ever-changing
We need to see it all clearly
to be able to cope
The Northern King holds an umbrella in his hand
Umbrellas are for covering
The ever-changing world has all kinds of pollution
Umbrellas are used to cover
to prevent contamination
