Edit paragraph 8. Mile Shengyuan
The east and west sides of the park are symmetrical imitation buildings, which are scattered in height, combined with reality and harmony, adding a long-standing ancient charm to Maitreya Victory Garden. The environmental greening of Maitreya Victory Garden has achieved the goal of setting the scenery by shape, adjusting the axis according to local conditions, setting off the main scenery, planting cherry blossoms, phoenix trees, white pine trees and other trees, so that the whole garden is shaded by shade, the green grass is lush, and the pine and cypress are moist, so that the relief behind Maitreya adheres to the circular cliff, which is 36 meters long, 3.5 meters high and covers an area of 126 square meter. Considering the legend and life achievements of Maitreya, the Indian Buddhism and China Buddhism are combined, and the orthodox Buddhist stories are combined with China folklore to design the picture. "A paunchy belly can accommodate things that are hard to tolerate in the world, and you often laugh at ridiculous people." A couplet that is often seen in front of the Maitreya Hall in Buddhist temples is well known to women and children. It is not only a description of Maitreya's generous, optimistic and open-minded image, but also an expression of China people's attitude towards life. I sincerely hope that when you look up at the Buddha in Maitreya Shengyuan, you can find a kind of happiness, a kind of freedom and a kind of liberation besides a sincere prayer. Maitreya Shengyuan will leave you with the best and most unforgettable memories.
