| Description |

Built in 1970, the temple holds the world's largest wooden statue of a Buddha in a lying down position. Made out of a single juniper tree, the statue stands 3m tall and 12m long. The figure of the Buddha head, the largest of its kind in the world, is another of the temple's attractions. The temple is also famous for the Brass Buddha that was made over a 10-year period, the 12-ton Unification Bell, the Ascetic Buddha made of white precious stone, and the Unification Stone-Tower which was built by piling up stones collected from Buddhist sacred grounds across the world.
