Across the street is the Burmese temple. Their Buddha is standing in the main temple. This is one of only a few Burmese temples outside of Myanmar. There has been a Burmese temple on this site since 1805 when the first one was consecrated. It has multiple temples, a row of standing Buddhas, a four story golden pagoda bell tower and a rest area for monks on pilgrimage. There is also a Sunday school. a lecture hall, dining area and library. There are art works from 22 different countries and this is the first and oldest Burmese temple in Malaysia
It is just across the street from the reclining Buddha
A massive entrance
Jus tone corner of one building...so much attention to detail
The line of standing Buddhas in different poses
Layers on layers of details
Don't mess with the big lion
Standing with a robe of gold
The weight of so much gold must be a burden
One more of many secondary temples
With golden Buddhas
The woodwork is magnificent
There were 17 Buddhas of different styles behind the big Buddha from each of the surrounding Buddhist countries Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, China, Korea, Japan, India, Indonesia, Afghanistan and Burma
The bell tower is peeking out. I got up to the top.
The carved wood panels are very large
Nice toenail paint
A huge stupa
Every type of material has been used to make the Buddhas
Darker sunglasses are required when looking at these
A thing of great beauty
The dragons are holding up the world
Somehow they have tiny elephant trunks
In the center of a fish pond
The water was low
The fish were large
These spires reach for the sky like the buildings behind them
Each parable that was presented was explained. Here Buddha has taken the prince to give up all his worldly possessions . Folks on the left urge him not to and on the right they are encouraging
A big set of chomppers
Entrance to the library and conference hall
Very fancy ironworks
It is the Garuda, King of the Birds
The bell tower is tall and it is hard to see the top tower from so close
Built in 2011 it is the newest addition
Many art works from around the world are here
A buddha with a ladder?
The layout is great
Up at the top in the bell tower
The smallest of bells!
Buddha flanked by demigods
Wash day for the monks
Keeping it clean in the heat
