Siang Lin Chiao Yuan Buddhist Temple
MALAYSIA, Malacca |
The temple was founded in 1945 by the elder monk Jinming and was named in honor of his respected master, Siang Lin. The temple started out as a single-story timber building and the expansion of the temple was completed in 1992. It is a hybrid of traditional and modern architecture.
The temple is composed of two buildings, one in front of the other. Each building consists of three stories with a single-eave hip-and-gable roof and two sets of intermediate eaves. The Great Hero Hall is located on the first story of the front building and houses a seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in Burmese style. The second story retains original aspects of the shrine prior to expansion and contains a library. On the third story there is a sutra repository. On the first story of the rear building there are offices and a memorial hall. |
