萬佛雲集妙覺山 千僧依止眾聖林
萬佛聖城是美國北加州第一座佛教大叢林，位於舊金山以北一百一十五哩的妙覺山下，佔地四百八十八英畝，已開闢使用地約八十英畝。萬佛聖城內有萬佛寶殿，內供千手千眼觀音菩薩立像，大殿四壁供奉萬尊佛像。平時四眾共聚於此做早晚課誦，晚課後聆聽上人開演大乘經典之法音。
城內又設有各個不同之建築與學校，計有育良小學、培德中學、法界佛教大學、僧伽居士訓練班、如來寺、大悲院、喜捨院、妙語堂、戒壇、圖書館、福居樓、君康素食館等，共有七十餘座大型建築物。城內環境清幽寧靜，空氣清新，提供理想之讀書、修行環境。
本片長度雖然只有二十五分鐘，但可說是聖城住眾一天的生活縮影。對已造訪過聖城的人而言，可藉此回憶城內莊嚴清淨的氣氛；尚未到訪過的人，亦可先睹為快，種下日後大眾同薰修的菩提種子。
