Photo@Riam Temple

on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Went to the Riam Temple last Sunday to pay respect to my deceased maternal grandfather. While at the temple, I took some random shot with my digital camera around it.

For those who ever read the story on "Journey To The West", I am sure you will know those four main characters in the story. Yup, the two in the first photo is Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, and the two figure on the second photo is the Buddhist monk, Xuanzang and Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
This is the figure of Ksitigarbha. He is known for his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until the hells are emptied. He is regarded as the bodhisattva of hell beings.
And this above is the figure of  Tu Di Gong. Tu Di Gong is famous deity that is worshipped by many Chinese folk religion worshippers and Taoist.
