From Sibu temple

I was at the Jade Dragon Temple and truly it was a beautiful and tranquil place. The dragon, always on the alert, playful, protective and helpful.

The inside of the bell tower. The bell has ancient Buddhist teachings inscribed on it.

From Sibu temple

These candles in the form of lotus flowers are bought with a small donation and lit up in honor of the Lord Buddha. A small prayer is whispered, then humbly presented to the Lord Buddha

From Sibu temple

Every joss-stick while it is still burning has its own story to bring to heaven.

    I love the picture of the dragon~ Very beautiful.

    As for the lotus candles, in my opinion would look way much more nicer in color ;) .

    Yes, perhaps the pink would bring out the pic
