光之殿堂主建築體低調隱於水盤之下，和天地融為一體的自然藝術墓園，建築地面的部份，藉由生命的根源－水，水盤宛如讓俗世凡塵在此淨化的結界，到訪者首先會面向水盤，藉著經過貫通圓盤之上的圓弧形走道，抵達遙想故人的精神世界。水盤像是一面明鏡，映照四周美景，同時向下奔流形狀擴水瀑，由水簾串連出極致帷幕景觀。
The main building of Palace of the Light hides quietly under the water plate. Centurial Tower is a natural artistic cemetery which is integrated with Heaven and Earth. On the architectural ground, through water- the source of life, the water plate seems like a bai sema, the sacred area where the mortals may be purified. Visitors may arrive at the water plate first and pass the arc-shaped walkway to enter the spiritual world of worship. Reflecting surrounding scenery, the water plate is like a clear mirror which and meanwhile forms a waterfall, showing an exquisite scene of water curtain.

光之殿堂的內部中心，為圓錐形空間，螺旋狀的階梯平緩展開，頂部撒下的靜謐光線，讓精神層次得到提升，仰望光之殿堂，天際線除了安藤式幾何型線條外，柔和光影的變化，更展現時光不息、靈魂不滅的深妙奧義。
The interior center of Palace of the Light is a conical space with spiral stairs gently expanding and light shining quietly from above, increasing the level of spirit. Looking up in Centurial Tower, people can see the skyline of geometric lines designed by Tadao Ando and observe changes of gentle light, which demonstrate vitality of time and souls.

長眠聖殿與大自然結合，像是仙境中的建築，安藤忠雄的精湛設計，巧妙展現出與心靈相互呼應的唯美景緻。
Integrated with nature, Hall of Eternal Sleep is like a building in the fairyland. Tadao Ando ingeniously presents beautiful scenery which resonates the soul through the exquisite design.
