At Tsz Shan Monastery in Hong Kong! Please accept the guide to free ticket check-in!
Tsz Shan Monastery is really worth a visit. Mr. Li Ka-shing spent 2.6 billion and it took more than ten years to complete. Here you can pray, copy scriptures, supply water, eat vegetarian buns, and have afternoon tea. It is far away from the downtown area. It is a rare quiet place. Let yourself empty your mind. There is no charge for admission to the park. 🆓
1️⃣Offering to Buddha
The 76-meter-high pure white Guanyin statue, made of bronze alloy, is the second tallest giant pure white Guanyin statue in the world. Even if you don't enter the park to visit, you can still see it from a distance.
There is no incense in the whole garden, but the water is offered in wooden bowls instead of incense, which is quite ceremonial.
2️⃣ Copying scriptures
