March 29, 2017 – the five donated bronze statues of Manjusri Bodhisattva from Mount Wutai of China arrived, and they were placed at their rightful places, on the five platforms facing the five directions of the site. Their journey from China to Canada took over five years of planning and construction, travelling over more than a month by sea, arriving in 6 cargo containers, 12 hours of unloading and with 16 Chinese artisans travelling from China to work on their assemblies. The Wealth God Wuye also arrived from China.

2017年3月29日由中國五台山捐贈五方文殊師利菩薩聖像,運抵加拿大,並在年內完成焊接組裝完備圓滿安座。文殊菩薩來到加拿大可謂歷經艱難,先後經歷五年多的設計和加工、一個多月的海上運輸、6個集裝箱、12個小時的卸裝,再申請16位工人來加組裝,終於如期完成。加拿大五台山五方文殊師利菩薩銅像,每座高13米,分別供奉在五個山峰的平。聖像栩栩如生,慈悲莊嚴。文殊菩薩分身北美、登座示教,大放光明,賜慧送福,普降吉祥。廣濟龍王「五爺」護法聖像亦同日運抵加拿大。
