Visit Chin Swee Temple in Gentings

Chin Swee Temple, where one can visit Buddha and Goddess of Mercy whose large white statues stand majestically high and tall behind the five-storey Temple.



Must sees include

1) The Ten Chambers of Hell.
These chambers line a path that gently winds up a hill at the fringe of the square. The walk up the path is named the Journey to Enlightenment because these chambers aim to discourage bad conduct by depicting the painful experiences an evil person would encounter in Hell.

2) The Nine-storey Pagoda
九层高的万佛塔
（九重天）
Inside the Pagoda you can find 10,000 ‘blessing lamps’ installed for devotees of the Temple to dedicate to those that they would like to be blessed by Buddha.

3) 24 stories of filial piety
Along another pathway leading down to the main Temple are stone carvings imported from China, relaying 24 stories of filial piety. These famous tales of ancient China are meant to inspire people to treat their parents well.

The photo above depicts Story 19 - Cooling and warming the bed
Han Dynasty - Huang Xiang, aged 9, lost his mother at an early age, he frequently lamented how much he missed his mother.
In summer, he would fan his father's bed to keep it cool. In winter, he would sleep on the bed first so that his body heat would warm the bed.

Another tale recounts a child wearing colourful clothes just to please her parents who loved bright colours.

4) Goddess of Mercy and Buddha statues
Definitely a must to pray to them or at least take a picture if you are a non-believer.

5) Animals?
Can catch sight of turtles and swifts (in the pagoda) I believed...
