The Chan Meditation Temple is located on the East Coast of New York. In addition to housing the only thousand-year-old statue of Guanyin in the Americas, which is its biggest draw, the temple’s Ju-Hwa Ru Memorial Library also attracts hundreds of scholars who come to study Buddhism and comparative religion. Ju-Hwa Ru was the wife of Dr. Shen Jia-cheng. This devoted couple went to great lengths to build the temple—Dr. Shen, once a magnate in the American shipping industry, sold all his ships to purchase this thousand-acre property of mountains, forests, and lakes, where the Chan Meditation Temple now stands. He established a religious studies institute and commissioned world-renowned architectural designer Dr. I.M. Pei to design the Guanyin Hall, following the style of ancient Tang Dynasty temples without using any iron nails. Over time, other structures were added, including the Mahavira Hall, and eminent monks were invited to reside and preach the Dharma. For scholars, the Ju-Hwa Ru Memorial Library is truly a treasure trove, drawing researchers from far and wide. The temple also produces Buddhist scripture CDs to benefit the public.
