Penang, Malaysia : Kek Lok Si Temple postcard and 18 similar items

The Kek Lok Si Temple is a Buddhist temple situated in Air Itam, Penang, Malaysia. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia and is also an important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists from HongKong, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries in Southeast Asia. The entire complex of temples was built over a period from 1890 to 1930, an inspirational initiative of Beow Lean, the abbot. The main draw in the complex is the striking seven-storey Pagoda of the late Thai king Rama VI, which structure is known as the pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas with 10,000 alabaster and bronze statues of Buddha, and the 36.57-metre-tall (120 ft) bronze statue of Guanyin (Kuan Yin), the Goddess of Mercy. The 10.000 Buddhas concept belongs to the Chinese Mah?y?na school of Buddhism while Rama VI was king over a Therav?da country and Buddhist tradition. This postcard shows the Kek Lok Si which consists of temples, pagodas, monasteries, prayel halls and stunning landscape gardens. PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH WHAT YOU'D LIKE WRITTEN ON THE POSTCARD.
