寺庙内部的描述：

it has a buddha status in the middle of the lobby, actually a chamber if I have to say, it is extremely giant and looks stunningly powerful and holy. the statue itself is golden, actually a lot of, if not the most, ancient Chinese buddha status are golden because it is sort of a royal and religious color and the civilians are not allowed to use or wear in the past. and I remember the buddha is the god of luck / academic, by worshiping it you can be blessed in your future academic and career path. in front of the buddha there is an altar with a lot of lightened candles, and in front of the altar there are several cushions, and you can worship the buddha by kneeling on the cushions and kowtowing to them, but if you don’t want to kowtow, you can just namaste, it’ll actually do the same purpose as well, but when you do that, be sure repeat that three times to show piety. Also, there are several charity boxes in which you can put money inside as a means to pay off your karma, the amount of the money you put depends on the amount of karma you think that you have, you know, I knew a lot of businessmen throw millions of dollars in it by cheque, you know, in a hope not to get caught for their whatever potentially illegal activities.
