The Sea and Sky Buddhist Monastery, situated in Penghu, serves as the Penghu branch of Fo Guang Shan, which is located in Kaohsiung County. It stands as a relatively large-scale monastery in the region. The monastery’s establishment began in 1983 with a groundbreaking ceremony, which was presided over by Master Hsing Yun. After four years of dedicated construction, the monastery was officially opened to the public in June 1987.
Within the monastery, the main deities that are enshrined include Vairocana Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, Ratnasambhava Buddha, and Samyaksambuddha. The architectural layout of the monastery comprises several key structures: the Mahavira Hall, the Chanting Hall, the Meditation Hall, the Dining Hall, and the Conference Hall. These buildings span a total area of approximately 23,000 square meters, providing a spacious and serene environment for religious practices and community gatherings.
