Poh Ming Tse 普明寺

 
Poh Ming Tse temple 普明寺, a 3 storey modern building that you would not have associate it as a temple on first look. It is here that many centres rent its premises to hold their retreat as well as the temple inviting famous, learned teachers to give Dharma talk.
 
 
Its Hall of Boundless Light, with the serene Buddha Sakyamuni and Cundi Guanyin Bodhisattva radiating positive energy, is suitable for meditation, talks and pujas. 
 

With lights if fully on in the evening, it does look like a hugh lantern, radiating lights of wisdom, guiding beings towards the right path of Enlightenment...
