Tambun Tibetan Temple

I have come across Motormouth's blog and I find this, Tambun Tibetan Temple. My god, please forgive me for not knowing there is such an amazing place in Ipoh although I am Ipohian.

I decided to pay it a visit during last Raya Break to look for this nice and beautiful temple. Before showing you some pictures of it, I would like to brief you information of this temple. :)

Tambun Tibetian Temple is known as Jingang Jing She by the Tambun locals and devotees. There is an Amithaba Buddha statue which stands 24 meters tall on top of the temple. It is the tallest Amithaba Buddha statue.

Here goes the pictures ....

 Stopped the car half way to the temple when I saw it across the lake side. It impressed me here.

Continued my journey to the Temple. Don't be surprised, you will need to pass through this small path in order to go to the temple.

Da~dang~~~ Once again I slowed down the car to take the photo when I saw it!!!

You can see the symbolic of the Tibetian Buddism Prayer Wheel in the temple.

Pass along the walk path where there are numbers of "Prayer Wheels" (转经筒） are set up. I was actually blur about the prayer wheels that built there although there is explaination regarding the wheel. I was then realized that we need to turn the prayer wheels when we walked along.

After I went home, I wanted so much to search more information of this prayer wheels. I would like to share it here so that YOU won't make the same mistakes as I do when you see prayer wheels in future.

According to Baidu, there are sutra inside the prayer wheels. It is believed that when we turn one time of the prayer wheels is equal we have finished chanting sutra for one time. We need to murmur "Om Mani Padme Hung" as we turn the prayer wheels. Any other instructions when we turn this prayer wheels? Yes, we need to turn it with right hand in clockwise direction.

 

This is the photo of the day that I satisfied the most.

It is a bit tricky to find the signboard for this temple along Jalan Ampang. Just beware there is a junction with this signboard on your left if you come from Tambun Town or on your right if you come from Ampang area.
