kaohsiung fo guang shan, kaohsiung

When your courtyard is so big, you need a map just to find your way out!

In the sprawling expanse of the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center, you might find yourself questioning if you've accidentally wandered into a palace of symmetry. The grand courtyard, with its meticulously arranged tiles, stretches out like a giant chessboard, daring you to make your move. The pagoda-style buildings, with their orange-tiled roofs, stand tall and proud, as if they’re the guardians of some ancient secret. People dot the scene, tiny in comparison to the monumental scale of the architecture, reminding us that in the grand scheme of things, we’re all just tiny specks. The lush greenery around the plaza tries its best to soften the rigid lines of human creation, but let’s be real, the trees are losing that battle. And as you stand there, taking it all in, you can’t help but feel a bit judged by the sheer perfection of it all. After all, who among us can claim to be as balanced and poised as these pagodas?
