Stories in the stones一座寺庙，一段时光
The origins of Zu Lai Temple can be traced to 1992, when Master Hsing Yun traveled to São Paulo to teach the Dharma. At that time, devotee Zhang Shengkai donated a villa in Cotia, which became Fo Guang Shan’s first branch temple in South America. Venerable Juecheng remained to oversee the temple’s affairs. As the number of devotees grew, the temple purchased adjacent land and began an expansion project in 2000. The new Tang-style complex was completed and opened on October 5, 2003. Since then, it has continued to offer Buddhist education and meditation, as well as charitable activities for the local community.如来寺的缘起可追溯至1992年星云大师赴圣保罗弘法。当时信众张胜凯捐出位于科蒂亚的别墅，成为佛光山在南美洲的首座分院，觉诚法师留下主持寺务。随着信众增加，寺院购入邻地，于2000年动工扩建。新的唐式建筑群在2003年10月5日落成启用，此后持续开展佛教教育、禅修与面向当地社区的慈善活动。
