Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center
Treasures of the Underground Palace Collection Campaign
I. Purpose
To instill greater historical significance into the site so as to enrich future society, the “Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center: Treasures of the Underground Palace Collection Campaign” is calling for artifact submissions. In total, there are forty-eight underground chambers (time capsules) that will house the selected artifacts. Submissions should fit within one or more of the following categories: religious faith, life, and culture. We hope that the artifacts, which will be commemorative representations of our time, will provide those who unseal each chamber with significant insights into who we were.
Buddhist artifacts, the top ten inventions of the 20th century, cultural artifacts of Taiwan, and family heirlooms are examples of items that we feel will express this sentiment.
Through our collective effort, the Buddha Memorial Center can become a cultural heritage site, which stores the memories of our era. The first in the history of Taiwan, this campaign aims to encapsulate the epoch of its cultural development providing future generations with a realistic perspective of where they came from. Let’s make history together and leave a legacy behind.
