At Repulse Bay, there are plenty of statues. I simply admire them, so beautifully sculptured and colorful too. But I don't know their names. Sorry about that! I just know Buddha and Kuan Yin. Do you know their names?
1- ?
2- Dragon Emperor
3- Buddha
4- Buddha
5- Buddhas
6- Kuan Yin
7- ?
8- Buddha
9- What does the chinese characters say? Hong Kong lifeguards?
Did you touch the Wealth God and then touch your own pocket to signify a transfer of wealth from him to you? People can also touch the Buddha with many children in the hope of having a child soon.
The Hong Kong tourist guide taught us this during my last visit there.
Thanks for sharing all these nice photos. :) 1) Maitreya Buddha ~ the coming Buddha 4) Guan Yin Bodhisattva 5) on the right ~ Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, recogised as founder of Tibetan Buddhism. 7) Wong Tai Sin?
I went to Taiping as I was sending my mum home. Well, I never thought that I would be meeting Hayley instead. Initially, I had wanted to meet both Yan and Yvonne but they were working yesterday. Yan gave me Hayley's phone number when I asked her if Hayley was working too. So when I reached Taiping, I messaged Hayley that I would try to locate her place as she had given me her address. I didn't think I would be able to find it. So to be on the safe side, I called her when I reached somewhere near her place. She directed me and I found it.. So nice to meet a new blogger friend and her baby. Aden is so cute! On the way to Hayley's place, I remembered this temple where I used to visit when I was young to watch the Chinese opera show.
This friend of mine, is a kind person. When he has any second hand Brooks shoes, he will call me and ask if I want them. My answer is definitely 'Yes!' He is a dealer in Brooks shoes and he always likes to try on different kinds of shoes. After that, he would just sell them away cheaply. Many months ago, I had bought two pairs from him and recently, my husband told me that those two pairs were almost worn down. So I had to ask this friend if he had any second hand shoes. He told me that he had this very pair which he only wore it once and he's selling it at RM180. Grabbed it and gave it to my husband. He wore it immediately for his meeting last night. After that, he will wear it for his daily work at the shop.
On 16 Oct 12 , I posted a picture of my sister's place and TM commented: I just live 1 mins drive from your sister's place! He asked: How come you didn't plan to meet KL bloggers? I replied: well, that was an impromptu trip..maybe next time I can plan to meet you up should I go to my sister's place again.. Recently I planned to visit my sister again. So on 27 Dec 12, I sent him a facebook message: hi, can I hv your phone number? I will be at my sister's place again. He was surprised: Wow!!!!!! Nice surprise. Finally, we met at Rib House Chicago at 1U. TM & A.. SP and SK Look at what they ordered! Five kinds of simply scrumptious dish! We chatted as that was our main aim.. Finally, we had a group photo before we called it a day.. Of course, I received some gifts too. Will show you in my next post. I really enjoyed their company and it was nice meeting them in person after so long. Thank you so much...
Very delightful sculptures and photos, Wenn.
ReplyDeleteLove all the different Buddhas. They are all so colorful and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the names either. Actually even I knew the names, it's very likely that I had no clue what exactly they meant.
