Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 2008

I pay my first visit to the FGS Dong Zen Temple at Jenjarom last year and I couldn't forget the beauty of the Flora exhibited there. But the main reason is that I would like to full fill my vow to the god. I was here last year praying that I would be having a baby boy this year and yeah, my wish came true. I bring my wifey and my cute baby boy here altogether this year.

A few things have changed here where some of the statues in the garden has been moved away. There used to be a Kuan Yin statue about 20 over feet tall in the garden but it is no longer there this year, gosh, how they move it away I wonder?

As before, the entire temple area will be decorated with thousands of colorful lanterns and flowers.

This year, there are more red color in the main garden of the Dong Zen temple. It was like fire on the floor.

Awesome!

The same 12 zodiac animal was also there surrounding the garden.

This year, they opened another area next to the parking zone at the Dong Zen temple to exhibit a whole lots of flowers.

Chrysanthemum and many other types of colorful flowers are everywhere in the place.

The praying hall. Ah, thank god for full filling my wish. I am back here this year with my family to pray for you.

A whole lots of statues surrounding the temple.

This year, the Dong Zen temple is exhibiting the miniature four main pilgrimage sited based around the life of Gautama Buddha. Above is the Sarnath which is the deer park where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightment of Kondanna. The actual pilgrim is located in India.

This is the Lumbini miniature. Lumbini is the place where Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, who later became a Buddha (Gautama Buddha) and founded the religion Buddhism.

The Kushinagar is one of the most important four holy sites for Buddhism where Buddha passed into parinibanna.

This is the BodhGaya where Buddha attained enlightenment.

Well this doesn't happen to be any sort of miniature of Buddhism holy sites, it was a parade vehicle decorated with neon lights.

A gigantic lantern.

Its flora everywhere in the Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen temple.
