Main Gate/ Parking Lot
	This is the gateway to the temple.  The gateway includes four large pillars holding a facade with a sign.  The chinese characters on these four pillars translate to the four great vows of Buddhism.  The first vow is to show great compassion and help all living beings.  The second is to eliminate all evil deeds.  The third is to study Dharma, and the fourth is practice diligently to achieve enlightenment.   Below these statues are incense pots.  In Buddhist tradition, incense is offered out of respect and to attain peace and tranquility.
