Ancient Stanzas & Stories of the Buddha
There are twenty-two bas-reliefs made by sculptor Shi Jinhui set in the walls lining the walkways on either side of the Bodhi Wisdom Concourse. Each depicts a story from the Buddha’s life. They tell the stories of how the Buddha went out among the people and applied his wise and compassionate mind to transform society at every level. There are also twenty-two Buddhist Verses written by Venerable Master Hsing Yun as one stroke calligraphy. Because Buddha was born as a human, cultivated himself according to a religious doctrine, became Buddha and purified people in human life, he tried to teach people to learn and to follow the Dharma in order to liberate themselves from human lives.
