Inside the Water-Moon Monastery lies a massive wooden wall, with the sacred "Heart Sutra" Buddhist teaching engraved in large, carved-out Chinese characters. As natural light shines through the text, the interior is filled with reflections, evoking a sense of spirituality and tranquility.

The Water-Moon Monastery is a modern Zen temple stripped of all cultural paraphernalia and returns to the Zen idea of the “Original Face”. The 80-meter long reflecting pool in front of the main shrine echoes the abbots’ vision of this temple based on “Moon in Water, Flower in Air”- the illusory nature of all things.

The structured columns inside the Changhua High Speed Rail Station are inspired by the shape of a flower. They not only support the roof, but also bring in natural light to the lobby from the opening at the top, providing a unique touch to Changhua's local characteristics in a grande public scale.
