The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum in Singapore's Chinatown is an astounding place. I never would have thought a place of worship as important as this to Buddhism is situated in this relatively new country. It was refreshing to see that a religion as old as Buddhism still has a revered place in such a modern country. The structure... More

It was interesting seeing a temple, a nice thing to check out while strolling the city. They had information different languages amongst English, so one could understand more of what one looked at.

Nice building. Shawls are available for those wearing short. The staffs are helpful and informative. Is a peaceful place and suitable for inner peace. Just in time for the preparation for the Wesak day a week later.

So much to see - On the roof, a wonderfully tranquil garden with water features, orchids, a prayer wheel. Another floor holds an excellent museum with a wonderful array of artifacts and informative history boards. And then there is the room holding the Tooth Relic - stunning. Downstairs is the temple - we were lucky enough to watch the monks... More
