Buddhist Temple Wat Buppharam Review

The flower temple has a history of decades. The area is large, there are not only Buddhists we are familiar with, but also religious places practiced by other ethnic groups in Malaysia. You can chat about the openness and tolerance of this place for different people.

Built in 1942, the temple is filled with statues of Thai, Taoist and Hindu figures. The ornate Thai-style entrance arch is the largest in the country. The flower temple is famous for its hundred-year-old statue of "lifting Buddha", the Buddha statue is exquisite, the golden leaf is covered, and the legend can answer all the questions in the hearts of prayers. How to ask a Buddha statue: Kneel in front of the Buddha, hold your breath, think of a question in your heart that answers yes or no, and tell the Buddha: If the answer is no, please lighten the Buddha statue. First lift the Buddha statue, then ask the same question to the Buddha statue in your heart, and then lift the Buddha statue again to feel the weight change.

The colorful buildings in the temple are in scale, whether local Chinese or tourists are happy to go. There is a "Haitian Buddha Pool" inscription on the front of the courtyard. There are many inscriptions in the stone wall. The 4 words "Don't forget the country" are engraved on the large stone in the center of a Huawu lotus pond. It is a handwriting of Kang Youwei in June 1900.

It took about thirty minutes to get a local BRT bus 403 from downtown Georgetown to the flower temple, and then we walked up the hill to the temple, which was easy to get there, bigger than I had originally thought, and after making the wish, tried to lift the statue up. If you can lift it effortlessly, your wish will come true.
