Stone-carved Steps and Railings

浮雕階梯石欄桿

Stone-carved Steps leading to Bodhi Path
通往菩提的階梯
The Main Temple of the Wutai Shan project is constructed entirely of wood, styled after the almost 1200 years old East Hall of Foguang Temple in Wutai County, Shanxi province of China. The material used is rosewood imported from Laos. All pilgrims visiting Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden are bound to enter the Main Buddha Hall. There are 68 steps on the road leading to the Hall. Each step shoulders the conviction and faith of every pilgrim. Each step is a step towards enlightenment (attaining Bodhiwisdom).
加拿大佛教五台山大雄寶殿是以距今1200年左右中國山西五台山大佛光寺唐代遺存的東大殿為藍本建造，主要材料採用從老撾進口的珍貴花梨木。如果您去朝拜五台山必定要進入這座雄偉的殿堂。在通往大雄寶殿的路上有68級石階，每一級石階都承載著善信的信心和願力，每一級石階也都是通往菩提的階梯。

Stone-carved Railings
浮雕石欄桿
Surrounding the Main Buddha Hall are 278 sections of stone-carved railings. Each railing consists of a balustrade and a handrail. Each balustrade is embossed with exquisite designs: parasol, golden fish, urn, lotus flower, conch shell, infinite knot, banner, auspicious lion, 6-tooth elephant, double dragons, etc. These railings enhance the grandeur of the temple.
圍繞在五台山大雄寶殿周圍的石欄桿共278段，每段欄桿包括欄板和扶手，欄板上雕刻著寶傘、金魚、寶瓶、蓮花、法螺、吉祥結、寶幢、獅子滾繡球、六牙神象、雙龍戲珠等各種浮雕圖案，將大殿襯托的無比莊嚴，諸佛歡喜。

Stone embossed railing is a traditional Chinese art. Each embossed design tells a Buddhist story. Besides enhancing the grandeur of the temple, it also serves to draw attention and create affinity. Every stone railing holds a wish for a beautiful future, which is an aspiration for all pilgrims.
Donors of the stone-carved railings receive blessings from the Buddhas to have their dreams fulfilled.
石雕欄桿是中國傳統建築藝術的一部分，精緻的設計和精美的雕刻講述著一段段佛教故事，在莊嚴道場的同時，還有著結緣眾生的作用。每段石雕欄桿都是一個對美好人生的憧憬，更是護法善信們的美好願望。捐贈建築大殿欄桿者必得諸佛護佑，所願皆成！

Sponsorship of stone-carved railings is invited. Sponsorship can be single family or multiple families, CAD $6,600/section (engraved with 10 words)
