During the outset of construction, people asked Venerable Master: “Why don't you construct scenes from the eighteen hells, and frighten people so that they will not dare to do evil deeds?” Venerable Master replied: “I want to build the excellence and beauty of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to make people want to go this pure and perfect place. Isn't that a more positive thing to do?” This was to turn most people's negative feelings of fear into bright and positive concepts. Within the Cave are the great Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, as well as the great Arhats, the Buddha's ten great disciples and others, each figure carved in a most lifelike fashion.
