Master Sheng Yen once said, "Prostrating to the Lotus Bell is equivalent to prostrating to the Lotus Sutra. By striking the bell, we can hear the entire Lotus Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra. This is a bell of infinite radiance and infinite hope."
Cast with the entire text of the Lotus Sutra, the Lotus Bell highlights calligraphy and painting by prominent artists, past and present, a perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Simple yet imposing, it is a treasure of Dharma Drum Mountain and a world-class work of art.
