Hengde Benefactor – Lifelong Offering to a Crystal Buddha Statue
Continuous offerings will help to solemnize the temple, bring perfect merit, leave a lasting legacy, benefit countless beings, and accumulate blessings for eternal peace.
This artwork is a lifetime offering of a crystal Buddha statue , symbolizing enduring dedication and continuous support. The statue is crafted from highly translucent crystal, its countenance dignified and perfect, its light clear and serene, signifying the long-lasting presence of the Dharma and the continuous flow of merit.
Lifelong offerings are not a one-time act, but a long-term commitment to protecting the Three Jewels. Through this project, the donor enshrines the Buddha image in a pure and sacred place for life, and the merit continues over time, constantly dedicated to the Buddha, ensuring endless blessings and wisdom.

This project involves the lifetime offering of a Buddha statue . Once the offering is confirmed, the Buddha statue will be permanently enshrined and protected by the temple.
Donors can choose different options based on their individual circumstances, including:

Selection of the number of periods (e.g., 60 periods / 120 periods)
