Mahayana Buddhist Temple
Description
New York City's largest Buddhist temple, located at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge, contains more than just New York City's largest Buddha—though the 16-foot-tall gold statue, seated on a lotus, is certainly reason enough to make the trip. Visitors can also find prints depicting the life of the Buddha on display, and spaces for families to pay tribute to deceased relatives.
