Beauty of Temple (part 1)

During the 15days of cny, have you looking places to go? Besides visiting relatives and friends, shopping to grab your stuff on sales, most of chinese would spend some time to temple for worshipping. I think that chinese is a most superstition race. No offence, Im a chinese too! lolz...
After i went for the famous temple @ KL -天后宫, i was told that there is a nicer temple @ Klang - 东禅寺 (Dong Chan Si in mandarin). It's located in a small village at Jenjarom, Klang.



Perodua Gang!
Picture taken in my kelisa before depart form Serdang towards Klang.
Took about 45 minutes to get to the temple.
Direction (the only way i know): From kesas highway towards Shah Alam and Klang, enter the Banting junction (left), go straight along 4km till a roundabout, take 9 o'clock towards Jenjarom (12 o'clock is pulau carrey), go straight again about 3km, notice a signboard written “佛光山” at a junction ask you to turn right. Congratulation, the temple obviously is on your right.



You can see it its fencing is covered with laterns - full of the aura of cny.

Well...this temple is like a small village which contained few parts. I may divide it into 4 parts - the entrance, the garden, the main worship building and the exhibition hall.




The Entrance





The first view... it's was fascinating!

My friends posting in front of the pagoda... lolz...


View after the entrance...

Start from the entrance, "十八罗汉" (the eighteen arhats) was display at the both sides and in the middle is displaying a Bodhisattva in a lotus flower.



A pagoda on the left...

CNY

During the cny, i manage to visit a famous temple located at Kuala Lumpur - 天后宫 (tian hou gong in mandarin). Just wanna share some of my capturing moment of the temple, simply beauty of it...


The entrance of the temple - with the cute cartoon of the twelve animals which representing the twelve Earthly Branches, used to symbolize the year in which a person is born. Year 2007 is the year of Boar.


See... Do you feel warm enough?! Can you feel the jollification of the cny?!

Now, when you go up to the second floor...




The sky is covered with red laterns neatly. There's another view of it which is taken from above (third floor).


After busy capture those images, i worshipped in front of the majesty of Buddha statue and prayed hard for hoping a better year for me. Just tell in your heart, your name, date of birth..etc. then tell what you hope for in earnest.


If you are still single, there's a corner for "月老" ( Yut Lou - God who manage the love relationship in between human). Just take a small pocket of this, 锦囊, then put in under your pillow or bring along with you when you are going out. Believe or not, you will meet your partner unconsciously. lolz... :P

If you haven't been there before, make it fast before Chap Goh Mei. Try to check it out!
