Mahayana Buddhist art is distinguished by its emphasis on compassion and grandeur, representing the Pure Land or a celestial realm of light and bliss. The artwork often manifests as graceful Bodhisattva statues, such as "Guan Yin", and high-relief carvings depicting stories of guiding sentient beings toward enlightenment. At Fo Guang Shan Temple, these arts are conveyed through symmetrical Taiwanese architecture, utilizing vibrant gold and red hues along with intricate dragon and lotus motifs. This style of art is not merely for aesthetic beauty but serves as a skillful means to use visual splendor to lead visitors' minds toward peace and a deeper understanding of Dharma.
