Giac Vien Pagoda

The bodhi tree stands in the garden next to the pagoda.

A statue of Quan Am stands at the entrance to the seven-storied stupa.

This little contemplative figure is part of a large candle-holder, in which each candle is faced by such a figure.

The large statue that dominates the main altar is of Amitabha Buddha. The five smaller statues in the front are of Sakyamuni Buddha and the four principal bodhisattvas.
