Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum

It was the 3rd night I stayed at the Royal Peacock Hotel, Chinatown. As to why I stayed at hotel will be told in another entry. That night I was bored. No computer, no internet. So I decided to visit and take pictures of Buddha Tooth Relic Temple after my delicious porridge dinner at Maxwell Food Court.

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is a living cultural monument in the heart of Chinatown housing what Buddhist leaders regard as the Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic in a magnificent Relic Stupa composed of 420kg of gold donated by devotees.

The architecture is very beautiful. It is so big and magnificent. According to the temple's website, the design incorporates the Tang Dynasty architecture style and Buddhist Mandala concept. The temple is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, which means "The Compassionate One", and also called "The Future Buddha".
