The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin Full Tour | Hong Kong Temples | 萬佛寺
The Monastery was founded in 1951 by the Venerable Yuet Kai (月溪法師) who moved to Hong Kong from mainland China almost two decades before in 1933 to proselytize the teachings of Buddhism.
The site previously housed a temple to Kwun Yam where a nun was killed during World War II. After the land was purchased by the owner of a local tobacco company, he consequently donated it to Yuet Kai for the purpose of establishing a Buddhist college. This, however, did not come to fruition and the Monastery was built in its stead.
The Monastery is located in Shatin and above the mountain. The walkway is covered with full of golden status and looks very beautiful. Tourists must visit here.
