The third courtyard of the temple holds the Grand Hall, the main building of the temple. It stands at about 18 meters high, featuring warped eaves and corners, and encircling lofty corridors. Four great Chinese characters, reading Buddhism Illuminates Everything, shine over the main gate.
The hall is decorated with engraved brick patterns of plums, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. A copper statue of Sakyamuni is dedicated at the center of the hall, five meters high and three tons in weight. Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva stand on either side in attendance, striding valiantly over a lion and elephant, respectively.
