Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, Buddhist vihara in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong
Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is a Buddhist vihara in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong, spread across a wooded hillside. Multiple halls and pavilions sit on different levels while a paved path lined with golden statues winds through the grounds.
Venerable Yuet Kai led construction from 1951 through 1957, funded by public donations. After his death, his preserved body was placed in one of the main halls.
The name refers to the great number of golden figures standing and sitting up the slope and throughout the buildings. Monks maintain the site today while visitors walk among the countless representations and study individual gestures.
The site sits a short walk from Sha Tin MTR station and opens daily without admission charge. The paved climb counts around 400 steps and passes through shaded sections to the upper levels.
The founder rests visibly in a glass case inside the main hall after his body naturally mummified. Visitors can see this uncommon part of the site during their walk through.
