In Chinese culture, jade is used to craft artifacts and figurines, and represent the Confucian values of compassion, courage, justice, modesty, and wisdom. It is also adopted in the making of Buddhist artifacts and sculptures.
在中國淵遠的文化長河之中，不論是在工藝品或是人物造像上，玉始終扮演著不可或缺的角色。在儒家思想中，玉富含慈悲、勇敢、正義、中庸與智慧的價值。同樣在佛教工藝及造像上也常以玉作為材料。
The Jade Buddha Shrine houses a Reclining Buddha statue carved from Burmese white jade. On two sides of the Jade Buddha statue are jade relief carvings representing the Western Pure Land and the Eastern Pure Land.
佛陀紀念館玉佛殿內即供奉一尊以緬甸白玉雕刻而成的臥佛，佛像兩側則是以玉雕刻而成的經變圖，分別呈現《西方極樂世界》與《東方琉璃世界》。
In May this year, the Jade Buddha Shrine will be holding the Public Veneration of the Tooth Relic activity to celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday from 3rd May to 16th May. Readers who are interested in the activity can sign up for the Buddha’s Birthday tour package organized by the Buddha Museum International Affairs
