The Main or Mahavira Hall (大雄宝殿, Dàxíong Bǎodiàn) is very large for a Chinese timber hall, measuring nine by five bays.
It faces south on a three-meter-high (9.8 ft) platform and measures 55.8 by 25.9 meters.
In front of the three central bays extend a yuetai (stone platform) measuring 37 meters east to west and 15 meters north to south.
Two structures dating from the Qing Dynasty stand on the yuetai: two kiosks and a stone incense burner.
There is also a small yuetai at the back of the hall.
Steinhardt suggests that this yuetai formerly served as a link to the no longer extant Dharma Hall.
  
The main hall contains seven large sculptures of Buddhas from past ages, a rare arrangement in Buddhist temples.
The Buddhas are raised on an 87 cm high platform, with each of the seven inner bays holding one sculpture.
In addition to Sakyamuni (the Buddha of the present age), the six other Buddhas represented are Vipashyin, Sikhin, Visvabhu, Krakucchanda, Kanakamuni and Kashyapa.
Each of the seven Buddhas is flanked by two bodhisattvas, and a guardian king faces the south entry at each side of the altar.
Behind the seven Buddhas, facing the back door, is a statue of Guanyin.

Only 20 interior pillars are used within the hall.
There are four rows of columns in the hall, but an entire row (apart from the end pillars) has been eliminated in front of the Buddha statues, so as not to impede viewing.
The bracket sets on the outside of the hall are all seventh rank, the highest.
 The main hall is the earliest Chinese building that uses bracket sets in between columns instead of just simple struts.
 The structure of the hall uses more than 30 types of timber pieces in between the column tops and the roof.
