Zu Lai Temple, Buddhist temple in Cotia, Brazil.
The temple complex spans 150,000 square meters with 10,000 square meters of built area, featuring gardens, meditation rooms, and stone warrior statues at the entrance.
The temple opened on October 5, 2003, after Master Hsing Yün received land from the Chang family in 1992 to establish the first Fo Guang Shan monastery in Latin America.
The temple follows Chan and Pure Land Buddhist traditions, conducting regular ceremonies, meditation retreats, and educational programs about Buddhist philosophy and practices.
The temple welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from noon to 5 PM and weekends from 9:30 AM to 5 PM, offering free parking and vegetarian meals at the restaurant.
The architectural design combines elements from Tang Dynasty palaces with modern Western construction techniques, creating a synthesis of Eastern and Western building styles.
