This massive temple is in the grounds of the Tzu Chi Foundation hospital, next to the university and forms the hub of the Tzu Chi world HQ. It's a fairly stark, brutal looking building, but it's vast size does take your breath away. It's possible to visit, but you will have to remove your shoes and be accompanied by a guide who will explain everything you see at a very slow pace. This is where it gets a bit creepy. The Tzu Chi foundation is a cross between Medicine Sans Frontieres, The Peace Corps and the Mormon Church. The pushing of the religious agenda is rather unsettling and not my cup of tea. Inside the vast auditorium, you really get a sense of the brain washing that takes place. Regardless, there's a lot to see and the guides are friendly even when pushing the script. Well worth a stop. Also check out the grounds. There's a bamboo house and some very interesting statues commemorating the hospital, many of which are inadvertently hilariously funny.

I really just popped by because it was near my hostel. It's a large building. I have little else to say.
