The Burmese (Dhammikarama) Buddhist Temple, Penang 槟城缅佛寺

The Burmese (Dhammikarama) Buddhist Temple, Penang 槟城缅佛寺

( 11th November 2012 )






The Burmese Buddhist Temple is just across the temple of the Reclining Buddha in Jalan Burmah. It was not very busy because our visit there was after 5.30 P.M. Most of the petty traders outside the temple were seen packing up and closing shop for the day. The temple was still open and we took a quick tour of its surrounding.

There was a long corridor leading to the main temple. On both sides of this corridor, huge paintings were hung up on both sides of the wall depicting the life story of Buddha and the related events of Buddhism. The paintings told  very descriptive stories. The main temple was brightly lit with flashing neon lights. 

The photos below were taken inside the compound of the temple.
