Photos sharing - Sam Poh Temple (三宝万佛寺) at Brinchang, Cameron Highlands

After breakfast at the hotel, before we check out from the hotel, we visited this Famous Buddhist Temple at Brinchang - Sam Poh Temple (N4.48878 E101.39056).

"Sam Poh Buddhist Temple located in Brinchang. It built high on a hill overlooking Brinchang town. Due to its location, the temple has a good view of Brinchang town and the houses that dot the little hills surrounding Brinchang. Sam Poh Temple built in 1972, is is the 4th largest Buddhist temple in the country. Amongst others, it houses a large statue of Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. The temple is quite pretty and has been well maintained by residents and monks. Surrounded by a bright yellow wall, the temple is serene and peaceful. Inside are lots of different statues, both Buddhist and Chinese, and incense burning in the background in memory of those passed on. Remove your shoes before entering the temple halls. But be careful, the marbled floor is so chilly to the feet without wearing a pair of socks." Source from here.

Beside of praying, there are many rooms beside the temple. According to friends, those Buddhism can stay at the temple for RM80 per day, for praying, chanting and meditation. But I couldn't find any other information about it...especially the contact person...

Let me share some photos of the temple here....

We were walking around the temple for about an hour and enjoyed the peacefulness of the area...there were some monks around doing the cleaning and some tourists and locals who came for praying...

The outlook of the temple on 1946 (below)...just wondering, it's this temple related to 'Cheng Ho'? Because of the name - Sam Poh which is similar with the Cheng Ho well at Malacca...

Once we left the temple, it was almost the time we say bye-bye to Cameron Highlands....proceed to check out from the Rosa Passadena Hotel...
