Chung Tai Chan Monastery boasts a vast area with elegantly landscaped gardens featuring unique stones and trees. The monastery also houses an exhibition hall with a rich collection of cultural relics. The current architecture of Chung Tai Chan Monastery is solemn and magnificent. Venerable Master Wei Chueh and renowned architect Mr. Lee Chu-yuan have integrated Chinese and Western construction techniques into the monastery's design. They have also incorporated the sudden enlightenment of "instant Buddhahood" and the gradual cultivation spirit of "completing the path step by step," along with the style of ancient Buddhist monasteries. This integration of art, academia, religion, and culture, while retaining the essence of Zen Buddhism, is truly admirable. In addition to its commendable architecture, Chung Tai Chan Monastery is equipped with comprehensive facilities, including a meditation hall, the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Bodhisattva Hall, the Three-Buddha Hall, a lecture hall, a reception room, a kitchen, and a dining hall for devotees to worship and utilize.
