Introduction to the Four Lama Pagodas: There are four Lama Pagodas with different colors around the Mahayana Pavilion. There are different opinions on the meaning of these four towers. Some say they represent the four stories of Buddha Sakyamuni, namely, birth, attainment, first turning of the wheel of Dharma, and nirvana.
