佛牙寺

Brought mum to China Town as she request to get some cook ware from on of the shop in Temple StreetChina Town on sunday was soOo packed, we couldn't find any car park until we have to park under 佛牙寺... and since we are here.. must well let mum go 拜拜~
They are having some event that day.. mass praying for the gone
Modern temple don't burn incense.. they use flower candle light~ beautiful
The 60million temple speak glamor
Mini statue for people to adopt/donate (for blessing and fund the temple for operational maintenance)
Mum买的一樽花.. 还满贵的 haha (i know we shouldn't label a price tag for religion)
So unlucky we came when they are setting up the atrium for the praying session later.. i was alittle provoked by one of the staff there.. SBTL~ Mum got her prayer light and went infront to pray.. the lady shove her aside and ask her to stand behind to 随便拜拜就可以了! i know they are want to get things done quick but WHAT THE HELL is 随便拜拜~ if her 拜拜 can be 随便 why bother? i thought Buddhism taught us to 诚心侍人 .. sibei sueh to encounter such amateur Buddhist~ chia gak anni lao liao still so rude (hokkien)!! BTH
I found the Buddha under my zodiac
They are wearing black robes when chanting
Showering the Buddha
The star of the temple... pure gold 纯金佛牙 (色例子) 殿... fully glass shield~ the gold are donate by followers.. i remember i saw aunties and uncles ah peh and ah ma donate their gold chain gold bracelet to build this~ meaningful horTurning it clockwise to 祈福
