Snake Year Chinese New Year Half Day Trip - Part 2: Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山东禅寺 (16 Feb 2013)

Time flies again, Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day were passed by so quickly... Holiday seasons are always end so fast! It's time to focus back on work and routine life...

Reminiscing some memories here for the CNY half day trip in another famous temple - Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山东禅寺. Since we visited this temple during weekend, therefore it was expected to see a big crowd of people in the temple too. Especially at night, more visitors came here to view the lanterns and beautiful lights that were displaying around the temple. Hence, many visitors took the opportunity to capture more beautiful photos there.

There were some stage performances at the outdoor area on that day we visited Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山东禅寺. We also spotted a group of young dancers were dancing 'Gang Nam Style' modified with Buddha lyrics there too! I enjoyed a lot of taking photos, sight seeing around and worshipping to Buddha in the temple. However, due to rainy day, my sandals were full of mud, and I had to wash off the mud a few times :(

After spending about 2-3 hours in this beautiful temple, around 7:45 pm we had to leave and headed to the next stop. By the time we left, it was still sunset time and the sky not fully dark yet, so we couldn't really see the beautiful shines of the lighting effect in the dark...

Snake lantern was the biggest Zodiac lantern there, because this year is Snake Year :) Very cute snake lantern!
Big flowers deco on the pillars of Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山东禅寺
Saw this sentence from somewhere - 最幸福的人并未拥有一切,他们只是尽力享受生活的赐予。 (P/S: The deco was made by unwanted plastic bottles, very creative and environmental friendly idea!)
Very beautiful and tall yellow flowers in the garden :)
Another beautiful purple flowers in the garden. There are all real flowers!
Purple orchids are real flowers too!
Love the colourful umbrellas on top :)
Making wishes in Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple 佛光山东禅寺... 佛说:前世五百次的回眸,才换来今生的擦肩而过。短短今生一面遇,前世多少香火缘。牽手是有一种缘,回眸是一种缘;生命是有一种缘,爱情是一种缘;假如还有来生,来生也是一种缘。
Read about something related to the word 禅, the sentence says - 爱情有如佛家的禅,不可说不可说,一说就是错。
Another part of the garden in the temple, the grass decorated like snakes that flying over your head... haha!
