Fo Guang Shan North Island

Fo Guang Shan New Zealand was established to propagate the ideals of Humanistic Buddhism as expounded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, founder of Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order. There are two Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temples in New Zealand, one in Auckland and the other in Christchurch. Both temples serve as places of worship and promote interfaith, education and cultural diversity. The temples also organise many events that foster harmony and respect between various faiths of New Zealand.

Occupying an area of four hectares, Fo Guang Shan Auckland's architecture is adapted from the palatial design of the Tang Dynasty; using greyish green glazed roof tiles, maroon stone pillars and vertical slat window frames to project magnificence, grandeur, cultivation and strength.

Fo Guang Shan Temple is open to everyone from all religious backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities.
