Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery, Buddhist temple in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong
Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery is a Buddhist temple in Tuen Mun District featuring a three-story main hall with red-brick columns and golden dragon sculptures at its entrance. The complex includes multiple buildings with different spaces dedicated to Buddhist practice and worship.
The monastery started in 1960 from a private residence and later expanded with a main hall built in 1980 and a seven-story complex added in 2010. This growth shows the increasing importance of the site to the Buddhist community.
The walls display thousands of Buddha reliefs, blending elements from Chinese and Thai Buddhist traditions. This fusion appears in how the space is decorated and how visitors experience the different parts.
The monastery is accessible by Light Rail Transit at Lam Tei station or via bus routes 53, 63X, and 68A. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and walk respectfully through the spaces, especially during prayer times.
The Lotus Basilica holds an 8-meter tall teak wood statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, the largest indoor wooden Buddha image in Hong Kong. This artwork draws visitors who seek out significant religious objects.
