Introduction: Rebirth Hall
The hall is graced by the Three Sages of the Pure Land -- Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Great Strength Bodhisattva. There are compartments lining the wall which serve as niches for storing the ashes of deceased family members and friends. The entire assembly regularly enters this hall and performs ceremonies to dedicate merit and virtue to the deceased. The 10,000 Buddhas' light constantly shines on these departed beings so that they are ensured rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss atop lotus flowers.
