The Lucky Cat near the Reclining Buddha
Located in the plaza near the Great Reclining Buddha, you will find a charming statue of a Lucky Cat (Maneki-neko). This cat is famously associated with the temple's reputation for extreme good luck, particularly after a former chief priest won the lottery multiple times. Visitors often rub the statue for luck in wealth and prosperity, making it a popular and lighthearted stop in this sacred area.
