As part of our trip around Taiwan, there was a stop planned in Kaoshiung. It is none other than the HQ of Fo Guang Shan. It is one of the largest Buddhist Organisation globally and they run temples in France, United Kingdom and Netherlands. All 3 which I have visited during my stay in those countries. It allows me some spiritual getaway.

The monastery here boasts a museum which showcases and preserves everything about Buddhism. There were interactive displays teaching about compassion and kindness.

The place is a bit remote and children might find it a bit of a long walk but my kids managed. There were several halls of worship and even a Buddha relic on display. Entry is free but it is a bit of an effort to get to.

I personally wished I could spend a bit more time visiting all the displays in the museum to learn a bit more. For further information on the events and displays, visit their official website.
