The Palelai Buddhist Temple in Singapore

Recently went to visit a Thai Buddhist temple in Singapore - The Palelai Buddhist Temple. I had written a post on this temple last year and if you are keen to read about it, just click the link below:-

I will add more photos of this beautiful Thai temple in this blog. Besides the main hall where devotees come to pray, there is also a library where those devotees who want to gain more knowledge on Buddhism can read books on this topic. Another interesting place is the meditation hall which is located on the 3rd floor. I saw some people practicing meditation on this spacious hall.

The Four Face Buddha is located near to the main gate of the temple and I saw many devotees praying and giving offerings such as flowers and coconut drinks to the Four Face Buddha. Each of the Four Face Buddha represent a different element - Metta ( Loving Kindness) Karuna ( Compassion ) Mudita ( Appreciative Joy ) and Upekkha ( Equanimity ).
