Hall of Medicine Buddha
The statue of the Medicine Buddha sits in the middle of the Hall of Medicine Buddha. As the Buddha of healing and medicine in Mahayana Buddhism, he made 12 vows to help all who call upon him to cure their physical and mental illnesses, of which delusion is the root cause. The Medicine Buddha presides over the Eastern Pure Land, where Buddhas-to-be are born and trained, similar to the Western Pure Land. On the Medicine Buddha’s forehead is the Urna a strand of coiled hair from which he emits the light of Compassion to beseech all beings to learn the Dharma. He is seated in the traditional mediation posture with the mudra of samadhi (meditative concentration). On the Buddha’s chest is a swastika, a timeless symbol in many cultures representing auspiciousness. He holds a pagoda in his palms identifying him as Medicine Buddha. The pagoda symbolises the Buddhas of the three times: the past, present and future.
药师殿
药师佛庄严地端坐在药师殿内的正中央。药师佛也称消灾延寿药师佛，亦被称为药师琉璃光如来。 此佛曾发十二大愿，愿为无明众生解除身心疾苦，使其具足诸善根，趋入解脱，而众生受苦的根源终究是心性迷暗，愚味无知。 药师佛是东方药师净琉璃世界的主持佛。 此东方净土，类似西方净土，是未来佛往生、持修的极乐世界。 药师佛由前额眉间的一卷毫发，放射慈悲光芒以指引众生学习佛法。他以传统的莲花姿势盘坐，手结禅定印。药师佛的胸前印有在许多文化里，象征着吉祥的卍（万慈）永恒象徴。从他手掌心托着一座宝塔或药钵，可以确认为药师佛。此塔亦象征着三世佛，即：过去、现在、未来佛。
