Monastery of Ten Thousand Buddhas

The Ten Thousand Buddha Monastery is a Buddhist monastery located in the Sha Ting District of Hong Kong. Today, the monastery is not functioning, but is served by laity. Founded in 1951, it took 10 years to create all the Buddha statues.

The monastery complex consists of five temples, two pavilions and a pagoda with the mummy of the founder - Yuet Kai. At the foot of the monastery is a cemetery.

The monastery contains about 13,000 Buddha statues of various sizes, colors and shapes. Each statue here is unique with its inherent features. Here you can find a thin and fat Buddha, bald and with hair, a Buddha with a dog, frogs, a dragon, etc. To reach the monastery, you need to climb 400 steps decorated with Buddha statues.

On the territory of the monastery, Buddha figures are everywhere – in the pavilion, in the garden, in the towers, and in the temple itself.
