Pagoda Lalitavistara. This stunning structure casts a long shadow over Vihara Wan Lin Chie. Vihara Wan Lin Chie sits nestled beside the crematorium and the Vihara Lalitavistara. The pagoda itself is unfortunately off-limits. Structural issues prevent visitors from entering or climbing. Yet, its beauty remains captivating. Vihara Wan Lin Chie and its neighboring structures tell a story of history and devotion. The Vihara Lalitavistara was founded between 1957 and 1960. The venerable Zhang Hua, likely a Hakka monk who fled China after the 1949 revolution, established it. Originally named Ling Ying Si, it was renamed Lalitavistara after the Indonesian government banned Mandarin Chinese under the Orba regime. The new name, Lalitavistara, comes from a Buddhist scripture. It details the life of Buddha Gautama from birth to death. Vihara Wan Lin Chie shares this rich history, standing as a testament to the enduring spirit of Buddhism in Jakarta.
