With jade, the body of nature, many miracles in the process of carving show the Buddha's natural affinity and grand realization of truth The dragon and Phoenix are flying in front of the Buddha, and the Putuo is looming behind the Guanyin.

Ringing the bell can get six kinds of blessings: longevity, integrity, intelligence, kindness, fullness and public service.

Wordless stele

It is rare to see beautiful jade as a stele, and it is rare to see jade steles without words. Because the stories about the Jade King and the world's largest jade Buddha are hard to express in language, and it is hard to describe so many miracles produced by the fusion of jade culture and Buddha culture. The significance of setting up the wordless stele is to inspire people to feel the endless magic and moving charm here. The two steles are made of Xiuyu. They are light green and crystal clear. The base is protected with white marble fence. It is said that it is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It is composed of five animal characteristics: dragon head
