Fo Guang Shan Chronology

Located at the front to the right of the Main Hall's first floor, the“Historical Museum of Fo Guang Shan" employs easily-understandable video narratives and displays documents and artifacts to give a smooth and fluid presentation of the development of Venerable Master Hsing Yun's thoughts.

At the entrance, there is a screen introducing different comments from celebrities who had once visited the Buddha Museum. The brief introduction of Fo Guang Shan entitled“Thousand-Year Lineage, Fo Guang Inheritance" states:

"Fo Guang Shan upholds the branch of the Linji Chan School, of which Venerable Master  Hsing Yun is the 48th lineage holder. He came to Taiwan in 1949, and started promoting Buddhism at Yilan's Lei Yin Temple, which would become the cradle of Buddhism in Taiwan. Since the founding of Fo Guang Shan in 1967, he has advocated Humanistic Buddhism. Transcending national boundaries and traveling the world, he has brought Buddhism from the mountain to the homes of society; allowing for the continued spread of the benefits and joys of Buddhism.”

Various forms of exhibition are used to reenact Venerable Master Hsing Yun's formative years and insight, in chronological sequence.
