Buddhist teachings have been passed down over thousands of years through Buddhist and cultural relics. In order to preserve our cultural heritage and to spread Buddhism through art, Grand Master Wei Chueh, the founding master of Chung Tai Chan Monastery, has been planning to open Chung Tai Museum ever since the initial construction of Chung Tai Chan Monastery. For over 20 years, the Grand Master has not only promoted Buddhist art and spread the Buddha's teachings to all, but has also preserved and restored Buddhist artifacts. With the help of faithful supporters all over the world, Chung Tai Museum held its grand opening on October 3, 2009.

　　Chung Tai Museum aims to use Buddhist artifacts as the witness of history, preserve the rich and abundant heritage from our ancestors, lay out the brilliant and colorful history of Buddhist culture and present the world of Chung Tai through its mind-transforming art.
