A temple located in the city of Da Lat is indeed not a temple that has a history like other temples in this city. Located exactly 700 meters from the city center, this temple is right in the middle of the city. Its beautiful architecture and warm atmosphere are perfect for calming the mind.
From the beginning of entering the temple, right in the yard, it looks like a temple that has elements of Chinese architecture. Although not far from the city center, it is still very quiet and not noisy because the main entrance is far from the temple building. In fact, the nameplate is far below. The temple building can be accessed by climbing quite high steps. It is advisable not to wear heels or uncomfortable shoes, you could slip and get injured.
This temple has many pine trees that shade the entire temple area, including several Buddha statues that are indeed intended to be able to worship peacefully. Remember I once said that the city of Da Lat even though it has quite cold weather, the sun is always hot and dazzling on every side.
Well, every step I took up the stairs to the main building of the temple, I found several chairs that were set up to enjoy the temple yard. Whether it was praying or just wanting to take a breath, it was very suitable for a place to calm down. In addition, pine trees attract bad energy so this place is very quiet.
After climbing the stairs, I found a gold vase in the middle of the stairs. This is where the first incense is placed. In addition, I also found a statue of a goddess with 2 open floors, flanked by many pine trees too.
Of course, the hallmark of a Buddhist temple in Da Lat city is a statue that looks like a lion, almost like the ceramic statue in Linh Phuoc Pagoda. The only difference here is that it is placed right at the entrance to the main building and has a small size, quite like the size of a guard dog.
In the main building there is one elongated building and one tower with 4 floors. I only counted the windows in the tower and it seemed like it was the tallest building here. With classic and simple wall colors, this place exudes a humble place.
Indeed, this temple does not have a large enough building, but the yard is so wide and is used to build several small statues under the trees. There are so many statues that have different meanings and also different Buddhas.
In the main building there are also many corridors that extend and connect the rooms to each other, so there are indeed many open spaces. What I like is taking advantage of the natural beauty, especially the trees and flowers. Along the corridor is the best place to enjoy the outdoors.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.
