Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple Jenjarom 19 Feb 2011

Picture 006We were going to FGS Dong Zen Temple (FGS stands for Fo Guang Shan) today.

We thought it would be a good reason and occasion to visit the FGS dong Zen Temple at Jenjarom and just in time to see their Chinese New Year Lantern & Flora Decoration as it is still within the 15 days of Chinese New Year.

Every Chinese New Year FGS would puts on a Lantern & Flora Festival and the whole place is transformed into a glittering wonderland of red lanterns, digital lights, illuminated gardens and colorful displays when the night fall.

P2190198But even during the daytime and throughout the year there are still attractions to see. This is our first time being here.

The temple complex is huge. I am so impressed that there is such considered sizable temple here, in a small little village called Jenjarom near Banting.

Among the attractions are the Main Main Shrine with a large seated Buddha statue, 18 statues of Arhats and 33 statues of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva  around the compound of the Temple.

Picture 008There is a Lumbini Gardens with orchid displays, fish ponds and models of famous Buddhist sacred places in India, Zen Garden, Wishing Pool, a Tea House too.

There are a Dining halls, lecture halls and meditation halls, a Souvenir corner, Kiddy land, An Art Gallery with artefacts exhibition, a calligraphy hall and a Relics Shrine and a Fo Guang Shan Education Exhibition which is ongoing.

So happened this time around there is a ferries wheels, and I accompanied Issac and Annabelle went up and have a ride on it, and Daddy stayed on the ground as he wanted to take our photos from the ground.
