City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Buddhist monastery and educational center in Ukiah, California, United States
The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas occupies 488 acres with 80 acres of developed facilities, including temples, residential buildings, and educational institutions.
The complex transformed from Mendocino State Hospital, established in 1889, into a Buddhist monastery when Master Hsuan Hua acquired it in 1974.
The Jeweled Hall houses a central 20-foot statue of Avalokitesvara and contains 10,000 Buddha images, representing Buddhist devotion and teachings.
The Five Contemplations Dining Hall provides vegetarian meals to over 3,000 people, following strict Buddhist dietary guidelines and serving only before noon.
Peacocks and deer roam freely throughout the grounds, while monks wearing traditional long sashes maintain practices of silence and minimal personal possessions.
