Buddhist temple with a long history |
Corner Higgs Street & Park Street Breakfast Creek Brisbane, QLD 4010 +61 7 3262 5588 |
Walking through the gates you are greeted by a white Buddha in the grounds, with two elephant guards-statues of course. This interesting temple was built by Chinese market gardeners in 1884 and was restored and opened to the Brisbane Chinese community in 1966. Two small shrines (shoes off please) featuring red and gold, are spiritual places to meditate. Amongst the artifacts on show is a rather incongruous shelf of ordinary cooking oils-used for burning candles. Review © 2009, Wcities |
