Poh Ern Shih (Temple of Thanksgiving)

I was introduced to this temple of history, Poh Ern Shih (PES) by my tour-mates who are volunteers there. Located off Pasir Panjang Road, behind Banyan Condo, it made news this year as being pioneer temple to utilise solar energy.
Reading further to the history from their website, http://www.pohernshih.org/History(E).htm & reasons for the rebuild, http://www.pohernshih.org/PESRebuild(E).htm, I gained a better understanding of the new mission of the temple.

(Half of the temple is still under rebuilding)



(Solar energy facilities at its Rooftop)


(Existing Main Shrine at 3rd level)

For those looking for English chanting session, please feel free to join in every Sunday morning, from 8am - 12.30pm.:-) You may refer to http://www.pohernshih.org/WeeklyActivities(E).htm) for latest updates.
(Buddhist Fellowship centre at 2nd level)

Since August 2007, the temple becomes more lively with Buddhist Fellowship (BF) moving in to its 2nd level. Its weekly activities include Wednesday Dhamma Talks at 7..45pm & Sunday Services at 11am. For latest activities, pls refer to http://www.buddhistfellowship.org
I believe once the construction of the rebuilding of PES is complete, it will attract more followers :-) Let us pray for its smooth completion :-)
