The gold painted statue in the main ceremonial hall is of Gautama Buddha seated on a lotus. It is about 5 feet tall.

Buddha was born approximately 560 B.C. in Northern India. Through his life, Buddha gave the concept of Nirvana an unprecedented exposure to a large portion of the Eastern world with his achievement of and subsequent teachings about the state of enlightenment. As a religion, Buddhism contains the attainment of Buddhahood or Nirvana as a central precept of its teachings. Among the teachings of the Buddha to the world, the foremost was "Ahimsa" (not causing harm to anyone).
