Introduction to the Sutra Collection Building: The palace directly behind the Medicine Master Hall is a two-story building with seven bays and a gable roof. The first floor is the Dharma Hall and the second floor is the Sutra Collection Pavilion. The Dharma Hall is a place where the Dharma is transmitted. There is a copper plate mural "Picture of Sakyamuni's Dharma" inside (it is also the place where Elder Benhuan was enthroned). There is a seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Sutra Pavilion on the second floor. The posture of the Buddha is the same as that of the Buddha when he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. He is begging for alms with his left hand and sitting cross-legged with his right hand on his knees. He is also known as the Mahasiddha.
