Main Temple |
||||
|

Yuet Kai Fai Sei came to Hong Kong after the Second World War and built this temple compound with donations from generous locals. He died in a meditation posture at the age of 87 in 1965 and, according to his wishes; his body was exhumed after being buried in the mediation posture for eight months. The followers found that his body was in a good condition without deterioration, which implied he had already achieved his Buddhism way. The body was first lacquered, then gilded in gold and placed in a glass case. |
