The theme of the Buddha Palace is the worship of Buddha's parietal bone relics. The exterior is divided into two parts: a large dome and a small dome, which contain unexpected offerings and internal offerings. The large dome is shaped like the Buddha's cassock covering the small dome, symbolizing the Buddha's immeasurable blessing. The lower part of the small dome is shaped like a lotus throne, and the upper part is shaped like a Mani pearl. The upper and lower parts are combined to form the sacred image of "a lotus holding a treasure".
