Land of Abundance and Wealth
NIRVANA MEMORIAL PARK (KUANTAN)
Fortune flows from all directions, abundance endures for generations
A tranquil haven within the bustling city
Spanning 30 acres, Nirvana Memorial Park (Kuantan) is designed in the neo-orientalism style, combining classical elements from the Han and Tang dynasties in its architecture. It also incorporates the distinctive Huizhou-style horse-head walls of the Jiangnan region, conveying an aura of grandeur and magnificence. At the same time, the serene and harmonious natural environment lends a touch of gentle warmth to the landscape.
As you transition from the bustling city to the tranquil landscape of the memorial park, the surrounding mountains and waters, complemented by the opulent architecture presents the most splendid view of the East Coast.
Feng Shui Period 9:
Land of abundance and wealth
Period 9 of the Three Cycles Nine Periods correlates with the Li trigram, and the animal most representative of this trigram is the crab. Crabs are crustaceans naturally endowed with a hard carapace that exude an imposing appearance. Their eight legs enable them to move laterally, symbolising the ability to attract wealth from all directions, traverse the seas and navigate the world. In ancient times, they held the reputation of being the “General of Unexpected Wealth”.
In Feng Shui, both people of influence and commoners have long favoured placing bronze or jade crabs in their homes or offices, symbolising the attraction of unexpected wealth. The crab’s appearance is both delightful and charming; beyond attracting wealth, it is believed to bring benefactors and joyous occasions. Moreover, the crab represents “甲” (jiǎ), and during the imperial examination era, it symbolized “ascending to the first rank,” thus often used to benefit academics.
Nirvana Memorial Park (Kuantan) boasts a natural landscape resembling a complete crab’s back, with the left azure dragon and right white tiger taking on the forms of the crab’s claws protecting the precious land. The bright hall is spacious, with the park facing east, from where Purple Qi flows. The east symbolises luck and prosperity, while Purple Qi represents authority and wealth, signifying continuous good fortune and wealth for future generations.
Protection on both sides to safeguard wealth
This precious land from a Feng Shui perspective, is flanked by mountains resembling the claws of a crab tightly embracing and protecting the site from both sides. Crabs possess a pair of strong and powerful claws, which are crucial for foraging and self-defense. Once the pincers grasp something, they hold on tightly and do not easily let go; thus, having crab claws at the front of the memorial park signifies the safeguarding of wealth.
Royal Family Burial Plot:
Uniting memories
Every brick, stone, flower, and blade of grass here seems to tell the story of one family’s legacy after another. The wanderer yearns for their roots, while the family hopes for reunion—this steadfast pursuit of “familial reunion” is ingrained in Chinese culture. This is not only the auspicious resting place of the ancestors but also a source of solace and comfort for the hearts of future generations. Every gentle breeze here allows the release of the thoughts and memories within the heart.
Family Burial Plot:
A memorial to heritage
Every falling leaf eventually returns to its roots; each profound memory is an extension and inheritance of family heritage. Here, time seems to stand still, yet memories flow warmly, becoming an eternal bond of kinship that not only connects the past and future but also ties together one loving family generation after another.
Single/Double Burial Plot:
An expression of longing
Sincere memories in the heart will not fade with the passage of time but will be immortalised in every subtle moment. In this serene and harmonious land, ancestors rest in everlasting peace, while every sentiment of remembrance from friends and descendants finds appropriate expression here.
Luxurious and opulent
Nirvana’s most magnificent Temple of Blessings and Virtue
The Temple of Blessings and Virtue found here is Nirvana Asia Group’s largest one to date that is dedicated to the deity, Da Bo Gong (or Grand Uncle). Boasting spacious and well-lit interiors with modern, sleek, and elegant decor, the interior design features a predominantly pure white colour scheme and opulent gold, emphasizing the benevolent and gentle demeanour of the deity. The rear wall behind the deity’s statue is adorned with motifs of ingots, Ruyi knots, and copper coins, while the corridor walls are uniformly decorated, symbolising the attraction of wealth and blessings. A three-dimensional peony flower blooms on the ceiling of the main hall, emanating a sense of completeness, wealth, and auspiciousness within the sanctum.
Taking the elevator up to the upper levels of the temple, the fully air-conditioned columbarium is accompanied by a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, also designed in white and gold tone, providing a tranquil resting place for the departed and offering families a more comfortable space to pay tribute and respects.
Leaping carps
Bringing joy to the beholder like a fish taking to the water
Mountains govern people, while water governs wealth and fortune. For the Chinese, water is synonymous with wealth, and the ponds and lakes are often seen as treasure troves of wealth. At the centre of a shimmering pond, two stone sculptures of carps leaping out of water towards the sky, symbolising abundance every year.
Monument to Filial Piety
Below the roundabout is a curved monument, consisting of stone stelae inscribed with fifteen passages on filial piety, including famous classical quotes from historical figures like Sima Qian and Mencius. These inscriptions remind the people to remember the benevolence of their elders and to fulfil filial piety in a timely manner. Families can bring their children here for a walk in memory of their ancestors and pass on the virtue of filial piety to the next generation in a beautiful and peaceful environment.
Bathing the Buddha with sincerity, sharing in the joy of the Dharma
Next to the Buddha bathing pavilion stands a stone tablet inscribed with ‘Bathe the Buddha’s body, remember a mother’s grace,’ reminding all to remember the nurturing grace of mothers and to always hold a heart of gratitude, appreciation, and reverence. Through the auspicious merit of bathing the Buddha and the blessings of the Buddha, may living mothers enjoy longevity and deceased mothers attain swift liberation.
