君子蓮門板
君子蓮的設計概念
香遠益清，亭亭靜植的蓮花，是印度的國花，也是佛教的聖物。但對華人而言，出淤泥而不染的蓮花，還具有宗教以外的深刻意義。北宋文人周敦頭以一篇《愛蓮說》流傳干古，文中讚賞蓮花的不染不妖，不蔓不枝，如同人人尊重景仰的高潔君子。
華人更因為文中“ … … 菊，花之隱送者也：牡丹，花之富貴者也：蓮，花之君子者也 … …“的比喻，而為蓮花添加了“君子蓮”的美稱！
君子蓮的意義傳達
在圓潤飽滿的琉璃球外，金質鍵刻的枝葉花環舒展圍繞。在散放著澄黃金光的琉璃球裡，精細的内雕工法將盛開的大王蓮和細巧的小蓮花結合為豐美的立體圖騰。整個廳堂曖内含的金黃光量，為感念恩澤的我們，含蓄表彰了安座先人的遺愛遠傳與高潔芬芳。
