About the Amitabha Temple



The temple was built with the inspiration of many devoted Pilgrims in the land of Zan-Kel. Partly instructed by Throu the Lord of Magick. It took a total of two years to lay the foundations, consecrate the temple and consecrating the statues by the appointed Tibetan monks who have been asked to travel from Tibet to Zan-Kel.

The Temple has a total of three great chambers


The First Great Chamber

The first chamber being the main hall where all pilgrims enter and make their requests to turn the Mandalas. It is also where the largest statue of the Amitabha Buddha sits. It has many frescos painted by the monks and all tables are edged with pure gold to increase the splendour of the first chamber.
The Amitabha Buddha statue is made from pure gold with eyes made from gold coloured crystals that reflect light in seven directions to signify the all seeing truth. Painstakingly created by the the local fairies who are able to minimise themselves to perfect the smallest details, it has added to the mystery of the statue. A thousand fairies were commissioned to help mould the gold into what sits before the pilgrims in the first great chamber.

The Second Great Chamber

The second chamber is the chamber of immortality, where statues of the immortal gods are placed for meditations and the attainment of peace. It is also seen as the transcendant stage between birth and death which is life itself. Rituals are carried out here and because the monks have yet to bring down the amount of magick in this chamber, the public is not allowed to enter the second chamber which incidentally leads to the third great chamber. The chamber of immortality is said to contain a sacred urn of spring water covering a small figurine of King Yama, the lord of Death. It has been said that anyone who can drink from this urn will escape the sufferings of hell ruled by King Yama whose powers are useless against the power of life from the sacred spring water in the urn. But to mantain the natural cycle of regeneration, everyone is forbidden to be within three metres of the urn which is placed at the back of the second chamber where two guards protect the waters of life.

The Third Great Chamber

The third great Chamber is the chamber of Lord Sakya Muni. Only monks are allowed in this chamber to prevent any kind of disrespect being done to the chamber by visitors.
