Singapore Botanical Gardens

Another refreshing morning at the garden!!! I love its Symphony Lake greenery & nature.

The bandstand, built in 1930s, though no longer used to stage musical performances, is still one of the best known features of the Gardens.

Bright Hill Temple 光明山普觉禅寺

Just want to share more photos of the temple with all...

(Hall of Universal Brightness with statues of the 3 Buddhas)

Not sure why this is not in the official temple tour map, but this is my favourite shrine/hall. One will just feel peaceful entering the hall.

(The Hall of Great Compassion)

(The Hall of Amrta Vinaya (Precepts) fronted by Rocana Buddha)

I think it is not often that we can see the 2 halls lighted up at night except during special occasions (e.g. the New year eve) when the opening hours extend to the night. I am glad to be able to visit then & hope to share with more people through these photos. :-)
