The
Hai Inn Temple is located across the road from our HDB Flat
in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. It is positioned to the south
of Choa Chu Kang in Bricklands Road. Here are the directions to
the temple. It is quite a beautiful temple, like all Buddhist
temples come to think of it. The Hai Inn Temple follows the
Pureland Buddhist tradition which I really do not quite understand.
The temple has its own web site which you can explore here.
Most of the photographs below were taken during Vesak
Day celebrations in Singapore. Singaporeans celebrate Vesak Day on the2nd
June. Vesak day celebrates Lord Buddha's entry into Nirvana after attaining spiritual
enlightenment. In Singapore Vesak
Day begins with monks chanting Sutras. Afterwards small animals or caged birds
are released, as an act of generosity, symbolic of generating good karma. The
act also symbolises the Buddha's compassion for all things. The day concludes
with candlelit processions through the streets. |
