The Jade Buddha is enshrined and worshipped in the Jade Buddha Hall, and the Jade Buddha Monastery is so named. The jade Buddha is from Burma and carved with a whole stone of excellent quality. On the Buddha are decorated many emerald and agate stones. The jade Buddha and the precious stones are donated from the Burmese Chinese. This jade Buddha statue witnesses the profound friendship between Burmese and Chinese people, and the love of the home of Burmese Chinese.

The Jade Buddha statue is a sculpture when Sakyamuni obtains his enlightenment. It is 1.95 meters and carved with a whole piece. His face is round as a full moon with usnisa-siraskata. His brows are like the crescent, his eyes are half-opened and look downward. His nose is straight and lips are close. His mouth corners upturn a little with a serene and sweet smile. His ear lobes fall on his shoulders and his shoulders are broad. He was draped with kasaya with bare right shoulder, on his right arm wearing an arm bracelet decorated with agate, emerald and other precious stones. The jade Buddha is in sitting posture with legs crossed and soles upward, his left hand is on his left leg with his palm turning upward in a sign of dhyana, implying that Sakyamuni is in abstraction under the Bodhi-tree, finally he is enlightened and becomes the Buddha. His right hand hangs downward with fingers touching the ground in a sign of touching earth, implying in the former life as a Bodhisattva, he makes all kinds of contributions to the living, cultivates himself with different disciplines of Bodhisattva. All these only can be proved by Earth.

The sculpture of Buddha is carved with exquisite skills; the texture of the jade is delicate, smooth and transparent. The lines are elegant and smooth, all in appropriate and harmonious proportion. His body leans slight forward and gives worshippers an amiable feeling. The whole sculpture looks serene, quiet, gentle and graceful. A worshipper before him will have a sense of sudden full enlightenment and transcendence of the petty and vulgar.

Along the walls in the Jade Buddha Hall there are two rows of high cabinets hoarding over seven thousand volumes of Tripitaka Sutras printed in the Qing dynasty, which are famous Dragon Tripitaka. This set of the Dragon Tripitaka was obtained by Master Ben Zhao, the second abbot of the monastery at the end of the Qing dynasty from Beijing.
