22) The Floor Tiles in The Main Buddha Hall
供奉大雄寶殿内地磚
During the Buddha's era in Sravasti, Elder Sudatta paved Prince Jeta's cherished private garden with golden bricks, dedicating it to Buddha and the Sangha.
The Main Buddha Hall, central to the temple complex, serves as the gathering place for sangha members during morning and evening services. At the Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden in Canada, the Main Buddha Hall is adorned with specially crafted glazed bricks that are both refined and durable, exuding a radiant beauty. The floor tiles are smooth, providing a cooling effect in summer and warmth in winter.
Sponsorship to the Floor Tile Project in the Main Hall is invited.
Sponsorship is each tile $500 CAD. You are welcomed to sponsor one or more tiles.
We encourage everyone to participate eagerly. Your donation in this meritorious endeavor will leave a legacy. Each tile you donate will carry the merits of all the Sangha and pilgrims to Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden who come to pay homage to the Buddha.
According to the Sutra of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha: "If there are virtuous men or women practicing within the teachings of Buddha, cultivating good roots through acts of charity, renovating temples, restoring old texts of scriptures, even offering as little as a single hair or speck of dust, or a grain of sand or a drop of water, these virtuous deeds, when dedicated to their own family or personal benefit, will result in three lifetimes of happiness. Giving up even a small amount brings forth unlimited rewards.”
在佛陀時期， 在舍衛城中，有須達多長者用金磚鋪祇陀太子心愛的私家花園，供養給佛陀與僧團。
大雄寶座是整座寺院的核心建築,也是僧眾朝暮集中修持的地方。加國五台山大雄寶殿特別鋪設京磚。京磚十分的細膩堅固，美光大方，地磚潤滑，有冬暖夏涼的功效。

地藏菩薩本願經雲：」若有善男子善女人於佛法中，所種善根，或布施供養，或修補塔寺，或裝理經典，乃至一毛一塵，一沙一渧，如是善事，但能迴向自家眷屬，或自身利益，如是之果，即三生受樂，捨一得萬報。
