Landscape Fahua Zhongzhonglou Fahua Zhong imitation Tang style, the bell body casts the whole "Miaofa Lianhua Jing", (Great Compassion Mantra) and Duobaota double Buddha and sitting figure, is a world-class and historic Buddhism treasure, placed in Inside the Fahua Park.  Fahua Bell Tower Fahua Park is an open-air park with the main body of the Fahua Bell Tower. Inside and outside the clock of Fahua Zhong, there is a volume of "Fa Hua Jing" and "Great Compassion Mantra", a total of 70,152 words, weighing 25 tons, 4,5 meters high, 2,264 meters in diameter. The ruler, the thickest part is twenty-six six centimeters; using the Forbidden City, the Tibetan Yuan Yuan Yuan Hao hand-written "Fa Hua Jing", today's calligrapher Du Zhongyu wrote the classics, the painter Deng Chengen painted the double Buddha and the figure. Although not the largest San Juan clock in the world, this Fahua Zhong is the world's first bronze bell clock with the entire Fahua Sutra on the body. Why do you want to cast a Fahua Zhong? There are several main reasons, the most important of which is that the Drum Gushan is a Guanyin Dojo, so learn the Quan Yin Method. Among the many Guanyin methods, the twenty-fifth article of the "Fa Hua Jing", the Guanyin Bodhisattva Pumenpin, also known as the Guanyin Sutra, has the most far-reaching influence and is the most common; this has always been the vast majority in the Asian region. Believers, including Taiwan and the mainland, are the prevailing areas. This is one of the reasons why we attach importance to the "Fa Hua Jing" and cast the Fahua Zhong. Secondly, the "Fa Hua Jing" is praised by the Tiantai, Pure Land, Huayan and Zen Buddhism in Han Buddhism. It has a prestigious status in Chinese Han Buddhism; whether it is preaching, promoting, holding or writing "Fa Hua Jing", It is of great significance. Personally, I have preached the "Fahua Sutra" and also wrote a book about the Fahua Sutra, called "The Wonderful Story." It can be said that today's Mahayana Buddhism rarely pays much attention to the "Fa Hua Jing". The precious value of Fahua Zhong is just like the underground palace. It is the "treasure of Zhenshan" of Fagu Mountain and an important cultural asset of the present.

My heart is full of joy
