Dalian Mysterious East Bodhi Realm Theme Park

Dalian Mysterious East Bodhi Realm Theme Park

The "Mysterious East • Bodhi Realm" theme park interprets and extends the solemn Dharma in the context of new religious thought, fostering a dialogue and integration among the three major philosophical ideologies of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, creating an unimaginable beauty and splendor.

The park masterfully fuses the mysterious and ancient traditional Eastern cultural mindset with contemporary philosophical elements, crafting magnificent sculptures and statues bathed in radiant light, embodying deities and nature, and brimming with rich artistic essence. These are combined with dynamic and static group sculptures based on legendary historical stories, along with exquisitely designed landscapes that embody tranquility and authenticity. Through a variety of cultural, artistic, religious festivals, performances, and other artistic expressions, visitors are guided step-by-step into the spiritual realms of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, allowing them to personally experience the profound history and enduring legacy of Eastern culture and religious traditions. Most importantly, through these soul-purifying representations and stories, visitors are led away from the noise and vanity of the city, encouraged to pause, listen, and let the boundless sounds of Dharma and sacred teachings flow into their hearts, reigniting reflection on life and society.

The "Mysterious East • Bodhi Realm" theme park boasts seven world records: the world’s tallest and most exquisite statue of the Four-Faced Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara, which is also the most challenging to produce; the world’s largest statue of Laozi; the world’s largest conceptual sculpture of the Akshobhya Bodhisattva; the world’s longest group sculpture depicting the return of Xuanzang from his pilgrimage to retrieve Buddhist scriptures; the world’s largest sculpture group of the Arhats; the world’s largest Simuwu-style viewing platform; and the world’s largest revolving prayer wheel featuring the statues of the Three Saints of the West. Each of these seven world-record creations showcases exceptional craftsmanship and is worthy of careful appreciation and contemplation. Beneath these sculptures, visitors can rediscover the mysteries of life, bridge philosophy with Zen, and purify the soul.

Currently, the second phase of the park is under planning and design, including a Buddhist Arts Academy, Elderly and Youth Retreats, Sculpture Studios, “Elegant Odes,” a Central Convention Hall, the Buddhist Light Theme Theater, a Traditional Chinese Studies Sanctuary, Eastern Void, and Lyra Constellation. Once the second and third phases are completed, this site will become a true “sanctuary of art.”
