Constructed during 2013 and 2014 costing an estimated $3,800,000.
The new temple consists of the Mahavira Hall (main hall), an outdoor statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Guanyin Pusa), a Haihui Pagoda (for ancestor praying) and living areas. It also features multi functional facilities for various facets of Buddhism such as culture, art, ethics and rites, propagation, meditation, retreats and the like, integrating traditional and modern elements.
Prayers will be offered at the temple for peace and prosperity of Australia and its people. The temple also provides a pure land for Buddhists and people from all walks of life to gather and interact, build consensus and to repay the kindness received from the general public with gratitude. We also hope for all sentient beings to gather and learn about the religion in order to extend their faith in Buddhism.
