The Jade Buddha is enshrined and worshipped in the Jade Buddha Hall. The jade Buddha is from Burma and is carved from a whole stone of excellent quality. On the Buddha are many decorative emerald and agate stones. The jade Buddha and the precious stones were all donated by the Burmese Chinese. The jade Buddha statue is a witness of the profound friendship between the Burmese and Chinese people.

The Jade Buddha statue depicts Sakyamuni obtaining enlightenment. It is 1.95 meters high and carved from a single piece of jade. His face is as round as the full moon and his eyebrows are like a crescent moon; his eyes are half-opened and looking down; his nose is straight and his lips are close together; the corners of his mouth are upturned to form a serene, sweet smile; and his ear lobes fall onto his broad shoulders. The figure is draped in a kasaya, with an exposed right shoulder; on his right arm is a bracelet decorated with agate, emeralds and other precious stones. The jade Buddha is in a seated posture with his legs crossed and the soles of his feet turned upwards; his left hand rests on his left leg with his palm turned upwards in a sign of dhyana, implying that Sakyamuni is in abstraction under the bodhi tree -- finally he is enlightened and becomes Buddha. His right hand hangs downwards with his fingers touching the ground -- a sign of "touching earth" that implies that in his former life as a Bodhisattva, he made all kinds of contributions to the living and cultivated himself alongside different disciplines of Bodhisattva.

The Buddha sculpture was carved with exquisite skill; the jade is delicate, smooth and transparent. The carved lines are elegant and smooth -- all in appropriate and harmonious proportion. Buddha's body leans slightly forward, giving worshippers an amiable feeling. The entire sculpture looks serene, quiet, gentle and graceful.

Along the walls of the Jade Buddha Hall are two rows of high cabinets containing over 7,000 volumes of the Tripitaka Sutras printed in the Qing Dynasty, which are now the famous Dragon Tripitaka. This set of the Dragon Tripitaka was obtained by Master Ben Zhao, the second abbot of the temple, at the end of the Qing Dynasty from Beijing .
