【殿堂藝術】

寺院的殿堂裡的「佛像」以及各種莊嚴殿堂的擺設都是佛教藝術，透過對殿堂藝術的了解更能體會萬物皆在說法的佛法意境。

The Art inside the Shrines and Halls

The Statuary and the many items displayed in the shrines and halls are all a part of Buddhist art. Through the understanding of these arts we can better understand that all phenomena is an expression of the Buddhadharma.

【典藏文物展】

佛光緣美術館西來館早期典藏的文物，大部份為創辦人星雲大師在世界各地弘法時，自行請購或由各地大德供養結緣所收集而來，也有部份為信眾所捐贈，文物種類眾多，包涵了南傳、北傳、藏傳等各種不同傳承、地區、年代的文物。

Collections Exhibit

Most of the earlier collections at the Fo Guang Yuan Hsi Lai Art Gallery came from Founder Venerable Master Hsing Yun while traveling to give teachings worldwide. These collections were either self-acquired or offered from local benefactors, some were also donated from devotees. These collections came from different areas and time periods. These collections also come from different lineages including the Theravada, Mahayana, and Tibetan traditions.

【戶外美術館、文化迴廊】

西來寺所典藏的佛教文物，創辦人星雲大師將部份文物規劃成戶外景觀，如「慈航普渡」、「靈山勝境」等…景觀來呈現佛教聖境，並在大眾進寺禮佛時必經的迴廊中，將有些比較大型或比較重的石雕文物陳列展示，讓大眾不只是來寺禮佛，也能進行一場藝術文化的心靈洗滌。

Outdoor Art Gallery and Culture Corridors

The Founder Venerable Master Hsing Yun planned for part of the collections of Buddhist artifacts at Hsi Lai Temple as outdoor scenery, such as the Avalokitesvara Garden and Arhat Garden to present the Buddhist holy sites. Also, as the congregation enters the temple to pay respects to the Buddha, they must pass through the corridors where the larger or heavier pieces such as stone carvings, are on display. This is so that we are not only visiting the temple to pay respect but receive a spiritual cleanse through art and culture.
