After 16 years of painstaking work, October 21, the auspicious date commemorating the Bodhisattva Guanyin's embarking on the religious life, was chosen as the date to formally dedicate the Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Educational Complex located on an 18-hectare site in Chinshan Township's Sanchieh Village.
歷經 16 年辛勤擘劃，位於金山鄉三界村、占地 18 甲的「法鼓山佛教教育園區」，選在 10 月 21 日觀世音菩薩出家吉祥日正式開山。
