Introduction to Maitreya Buddha Hall: Maitreya Buddha Hall, first built in 1788, is also known as "Shoucao Temple". It is located in the northwest corner of the Great Sutra Hall. It is six stories high and has five rooms in each depth. It is a Tibetan-Chinese mixed structure. The highest floor is a palace-style square pavilion with four-cornered eaves, covered with distilled gold bronze lions, copper dragons, copper vases, copper Dharma wheels, and copper Ruyi. It is resplendent in the sun, so it is commonly known as the "Dajin Wa Temple".
In the hall, there is a large gold bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha, about 8 meters high, and on both sides there are eight gold bronze statues of Bodhisattvas, about 5 meters high. There is a "Gangyur" written in gold and silver in the hall.
