Unique Architectural Building Method Used
Wutai Shan Buddhist Temple
Wutai Shan Buddhist Temple is the first of four temples to be built. Wutai Shan Temple entrance is at 771 Ski Hill Road Bethany, but the majority of the land is located in Peterborough County, Ontario. The other three temples will be built on nearby lands in Pontypool, and Bethany. The facilities plan to use solar power, and be as green as possible. The four temple sites will be collectively known as the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of Canada.The temples will be built according to classical traditional "dougong" style architectural and methods used in the Tang Dynasty. This construction method involves interlocking wooden brackets. No nails or any other fasteners will be used. As shown in the picture below.
