Introduction to the Buddhist chanting hall: There is a stone relic pagoda in the hall, about 5.5 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. It is hollowed out and carved from three huge stones in the shape of a six-sided palace. The pagoda is carefully carved with various characters, flowers, birds and animals centered on the story of Sakyamuni Buddha. The six stone pillars are decorated with flying dragons, which are vividly shaped. The entire stone pagoda is exquisite and translucent. It is one of the sculptures with high artistic value in the temple. It is said that it was carved by three famous craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty and took three years. The abbots of the past dynasties have used this place as a dojo for the Pure Land Sect. It is located behind the Paradise Hall on the east side of the temple from south to north.
