Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden in Canada is a culmination showcase of Buddhist culture, Chinese ancient building techniques, and traditional Chinese garden designs.
The project will showcase the Tang-dynasty style architecture of the wooden structure built with ancient Chinese technique called “dougong”, using large wooden interlocking brackets without a single nail. Additional wooden structures to be constructed onsite will be the 5000 sq. ft. Avalokitesvara Hall, the 5000 sq. ft. Ksitigarbha Hall, and the 30-metre wide by 15-metre high stone-carved Main Entrance Gate. Together with the Main Buddha Hall this cluster of buildings are all constructed using ancient Chinese architectural techniques built according to the traditional Chinese temple guidelines.
The Main Buddha Hall is styled after the UNESCO World Heritage site East Hall of the Foguang Temple in Wutai County, Shanxi province of China, which was built in 857 C.E., 1162 years ago and still standing today. Most of the wooden materials used are high grade rosewood imported from Laos, and other materials such as camphor and yew. It has a footprint area of 1,418 sq. metres, 44 metres long, 30 metres wide, 15.72 metres tall.
The roof of the Main Buddha Hall will be covered with 24,220 bronze roof shingles, sponsored through the Bronze Roof Shingles Writing activities. These bronze shingles weigh about 61 tons, providing shelter to the Buddha statues inside and showering blessings on all visitors within. Total roof structure weighs about 600 tons.
加國五台山將完整體現佛教文化特色，中國古代建築藝術和中國古典園林藝術。
五台山大木結構園區將由大雄寶殿、觀音殿、地藏殿、文殊殿、木牌樓等組成，整個五台山園區的古建寺廟群，大雄寶殿建築面積1418平方米，總長度44米，縱深度30米，總高度15.72米。是一個全木結構的殿堂，為中國古代傳統的大木作榫卯結構建築，以距今1200年左右的中國五台山大佛光寺，唐代遺存的東大殿為建造藍本。主要材料採用從老撾進口的珍貴花梨木，屋頂瓦片全部採用澆鑄的青銅瓦，比中國五台山佛光寺用料更為講究。採用中國特有斗拱式建築結構，工藝精湛的建築藝術，無聲地向世人展示中國傳統文化的魅力，再現盛唐佛教和中華文化之風采。
