Thank you for taking the time to look at, comment on, and fave my photographs.

 

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart."

Mahatma Gandhi

 

Walk through one of Singapore’s must-see cultural sites, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum, and marvel at an impressive array of Buddhist relics.

 

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum located in the Chinatown district was recently built in 2007, but the temple’s richly designed interiors and comprehensive exhibits on Buddhist art and history tell stories of culture over hundreds of years old. The temple gets its name from what the Buddhists regard as the left canine tooth of Buddha, which has been recovered from his funeral pyre in Kushinagar, India and displayed in its grounds.

 

Let's make the world a better place, one child at a time!
