Introduction: City of Ten Thousand Buddhas
City of Ten Thousand Buddhas at Wonderful Enlightenment Mountain is an international Buddhist community established in 1976. | |
The
City of Ten Thousand Buddhas is situated in Talmage, Mendocino County,
about 110 miles north of San Francisco. It occupies an area of 488
acres, of which about 80 acres are presently been used. The rest of the
land includes meadows, orchards, and forests. Large institutional
buildings and smaller residential houses are scattered over the west
side of the property. The main Buddha hall and monastic facilities, the
educational institutes, the administrative offices, the main kitchen
and dining hall, the vegetarian canteen, and supporting structures are
all located in this complex. The environment is quiet and peaceful. The
air is fresh and pure. It is the first large Buddhist Way-place in the
States. It is also an international Way-place of Proper Dharma. It is
said, "Welling up from the ground, the land of jeweled kingdom
appeared." In the City, the light house of world Buddhism, there is no
discrimination regarding religion, race, nationality, or age. We
welcome people who devote themselves to the search for happiness and
peace for the human race, and to the investigation of the universal
truth of life. Let us work together to save the world!
