This section of Ackerstrasse, barely two kilometers from Olaf Scholz's chancellery, is also home to a new building, seven years in construction, that happens to be one of the most remarkable religious buildings in the German capital: A modern Buddhist temple.
Miaoshiang Shih, the master of the Fo Guang Shan Community Temple, leads a tour through the new building, showcasing its main hall, kitchen, guest rooms, and a small memorial hall for the deceased.
Miaoshiang Shih explains that the incense stand in front of the temple is placed there due to fire safety regulations, as it is not allowed inside the building. The construction of the temple did not receive any financial aid from the government.
