Worship places (the impression of Singapore on 9)

"India culture + Kampong Glam Islamic culture" I walk on two occasions, I really appreciate your camera's battery, if once completed, will be in accordance with the planning of lines, no novelty.

Since Division twice, to something more. For example, a friend recommended a central Sikh Temple, but she was evasive and said that in India there, the very Singapore law in flower la Park (farrer park) station nearby.

It is the life of the people who were just talking about by impressions, don't pay attention to accuracy, because they can find landmark everywhere, but outsiders is in trouble.

Friend's husband was looking at me a small map, and finally say, here it is, is in the "Henrietta", where Dr.? sorry missed Chinese place names of subway route map, had to start from India in English next to read. In fact, is to take La Park next station boon keng.

A friend of her husband out of the great Atlas there, can't hold big book hit the bar, I draw it on my map, already outlined, but to write road name so that when you look at the road to walk.

Grand Atlas most attracts me is the legend of the "places of worship," the meaning of the text should be translated as "place of worship," in this category, a bunch of icons, but I do not have the capacity, the paintings of the Spire of the Church, the dome of the Sikh Temple, and so on, but I'll explain the icon text copied down (back of the Chinese language is found, and does not guarantee the accuracy):

Sikh gurdwara Sikh by drought; church/chapel chapels Church, subsidiary;

Buddhist temple mosque mosque Buddhist temples;; hindu temple Hindu temple;

Chinese temple China Temple; synagogue synagogues.

Do not understand is why Hindu temple, the temple and the temple with temple in China, and several others have their own separate Word? from on-line checked temple this word (I do not understand English I copied from the Internet, is a curious, wrong or tube is here) there are two main types of meaning, is a noun, you said that unrelated "temples, temples, glasses legs", strange, the words the difference or quite large, but are close to generate ideas, spirit, this is about and the Chinese people to the "heart" of different weight "head" of foreigners thinking results.

Another class: (ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt etc) Temple, the Church, (Buddhism) monastery, Temple, (Judaism, Mormons, etc), temples, churches, (Christian) Church, Chapel, or even (for certain activities) Palace, Town Hall, (some mutual Association) local chapters, and so on can be used, so the last one is where the "God, the Holy Spirit at the hostel. Provides an overview of available so comprehensive. London has a church called "temple church", translated into "Cathedral Church."

Also do not know why is this order, not the English sort, but it is not like the population according to religion.

Anyway, the tiny Singapore, it's amazing, what generally icon wenbo units, tourist attractions, etc., where the worship is so diverse, this trip I was laughin.

The first morning, I just press a new line of the subway into flowers, parks, don't look at the map was also a call owen road, but in fact, a few step away, turned to the left, on the road to Yangon (rangoon road), write a Chinese name, is the "capital of Myanmar Yangon".

Continue to the West, a bunch of Chinese temple: "Yangon Gong" in the streets, like a little worship, but also metal, such as San Jose next to a church that small pointy Buddhist shrine; "Guanyin Church" is simply a department store around the corner?; "Zid Church" as usual, just one more in the yard for incense and flowers Pavilion ...

I would like to find a small map of the five Phoenix Temple, although a bit is the goddess of the Church before cleaning the women told me how to walk, but still not found, but seen the "Carp River Temple", the word I think and I kind of relations, stepped forward to a closer look, while the closed iron gate, gate, a bench, sitting above two middle-aged women.

The front pull words, and they said that my grandmother does not know where to go, but for a moment should come back, because every year, people come to worship, they are, in General, something this year, so at first. I ask: where are you?, Fujian has in fact their mouth I have listened to the second question — Xinghua accent, it really was Putian.

I think Singapore maps of places of worship in the temple, the chinese single lists can only be an interest, specifically should be called weave a basket, no matter how you regardless of Hakka, Guangdong, Fujian, China letter of everything in it.

Don't look at the Chinese from the Han dynasty, Confucianism, and that is preparing to enter the Temple of the scholars said that, what a gift not a doctor, people really are free. I have been a number of Fukien County place all the "worship" (this word is very good, borrow), what's there: Temple, Palace, Club, House, Temple, kiosks, Temple, College, there is a wide variety of content, or even five miles. Visiting relatives and family Festival procession, carrying immortal also has its own name, I think most of them is a patron of the Earth. This practice also Singapore.

I ask only see Kwan-Yin Tong before women: this area is India? how so many Chinese temple.

She answered me: outside India, there are Chinese. She said it is Serangoon direction. The original road returns to the North turned to see a temple, a thousand light temple, but also see a small temple "Fu shou Hall". A glimpse of India after shadow of the temple, but look at your route, you should also go to go, before it will insist on original way down.p>

Soon, even better than Apple's Church also first in my eyes, because they are big, the opposite of "Shakyamuni Buddha Gaya Temple (sakaya muni buddha gaya temple)," next "Temple".

The former is commonly known as the Temple of light, simple, the door will take off my shoes and have a Myanmar Buddhist temple (Buddhist temple side of the constant and not know what to look at the surface strike Chinese Buddhism Temple), which complicated enough, typical Chinese Yuan immortal Grand Concourse. The temple opposite there is a lane, go out is Serangoon Road.

Two Hindu temple after a mile? North temple sri vadapathira kaliamman without translation, and a block south of is I saw after the shadow of Sri, jovisa Cedar Nkrumah Hindu temple (sri srinivasa perumal temple).

Then go to the South to the Hindu road (hindoo road) has seen a mosque. So the Hindu road should have the right, and India is not long street at calculation of the other side of the alley, see also an unknown is the Christ or the Church of God.

Along the alleys of the Church to Serangoon Road, but to see the famous Villa maca Hindu temple de man, this is the Bengal India Temple of repaired.

In Chinatown Mariamman Temple Hindu is more typical of a tourist area, I took the shoes in, see the door reads photography extra $ 3. Feel uncomfortable, I would like to take photos, not in the best photography, moreover is not familiar with India Temple, but the camera does not receive the package, some watermelon operatives of Lee, simply back out. Later to India Temple, the first thing is to put the camera in a bag, and then take your shoes off.

Although also called temple, Singapore map India temple's Chinese name called so-and-so Hindu temple, "the Hindu hindu" and "India" and "shendu" and "Indian" as I see it is a sound of go, ancient, modern studied law, known as the "Hindu" is called "India" and could be more beautiful, it is run with the translation of "faithfulness" to go to the top of the POPs, such as in "Israel" as "a gift for a decent education".

Of course there is a saying, "India" is from india in English, but the "Hindu" is directly to the Sanskrit name India River "sindhu" reliability and sound change, which has a respect for cultural diversity.

Go several hindu temple, the deepest impression is the door at the top of the towering complex sculptures, mostly historic overlap, people crowded around only believers can tell one's story, stolen thought the Hindu religion and belief in China as the gods: the letter, no integration is only the approximate system similar to the temple, learn from them.

It is said that these gods like and their gorgeous living directly on top of the gate built in, as a convenience for believers and worship, which is far reaching effects, do not have to get into the temple.

Hindu religion followers in Singapore seems to many that every Hindu temple can be seen, the door coming and going.

In the Sri, jovisa Cedar Nkrumah Hindu temple meet one on the door should be husband and wife, the man's left hand held mobile phone attached to the right ear, talking to the hospital door, take your shoes off, at the gate to the wall in a taps with your right foot underneath, and then take the right temple door, the woman bent touch stone threshold, the man also said that the phone, no bending, lifting wrist put only a drooping right hand and in parallel, to draw up a half-circle. Both did not book tip of knock on Bell's actions.

Although I did write the book, but do see the couple, I want to really believe and not necessarily tied to the form.

But the true piety in the Hindu temple is everywhere, in different temples, I don't know why a little trembling, perhaps religion really has a stunning strength, can always see each corner, even if it is a very small niche are meticulous in prayer before the eyes of people kneeling lower first, many of whom are young people.

Kerry door shuttle road Dan Daoud he Paniagua Hindu temple is not in the tourist area, so to enter the temple is now also on meso-a little Hindu festivals? it's followers are turmeric multicoloured entire head, sitting on the ground, not impressed with woman, perhaps a woman can only come in worship, but do not have the authority to sit down.

There is also a warehouse next to the same building, with construction hoardings stalls, from sewing to see statues are plastic.

Maca from Vila de Manuel Hindu temple started me on a planned route, Lhasa m the Hindu temple with (lakshmi narayan temple shree) did not give it a comment, but it is the most distinctive of a Hindu temple, shockingly simple, but very modern decoration is geometry, the complexity of the Tower turned into three simple stupa is rust-red, and building a triangle decoration.

Sakon was evident also in the Fuk is a simple churches, say, there's something wrong with that, a bit like the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. The Temple so chastity?

Twisted face to see John's former residence, Chan Chan Tung is a Chinese, doing business in Singapore has gradually developed, the former but with the two mentally place different, extremely loud, what style is used.

By the way, connect these on the map at the road or even or broken, itinerary, no matter how it is to go back, didn't expect to actually walk 100 attached, Belden, like into Beijing's Hutong, once again proved that "all books are better than no book" correctly.

Down the alley on Serangoon Road, cross the rochor (rochor canal), straight down the road to real niche (selegie road), go to the party.

Almost to a party to the other side of the street saw Bush suddenly see a white, front elevation, triangular cross above against the Church, the Catholic Church and the Christian Church, I can not, generally speaking, the Catholic Church should be more traditional, or are relatively old, I mean the style, such as the Church of St. Andrea, even old loss level, for example, in praise of the good Shepherd square next to the Cathedral.

P > in Singapore River administrative centre districts around, I think mostly Catholic Church, later Christian influence on ordinary people, they are mostly in residential areas of the Church, I inadvertently encountered in the corner. For example I in Hindu road (hindoo road) Tung Tau to see the Church seems to be what Christians donate remodeling, houlairen more, no less, just look for a place like that is Serangoon, real niche, don't know and now I see this is origin.

The Church in the South at a House, is a city of quantity of great was marked with large satellite buildings.

This building and the Jews about it, if not why this label? on Israel's flag, Nazi anti-Semitism let them on the body, although PETA is said to be the origin of this flag and not earlier, but I think most of the world can see it, you think of Jews, synagogues.

Located in the administrative centre districts mahai Abu synagogues, it seems that is the only synagogue of Singapore, but it has a separate category, the name is different, the literal translation is allegedly symagogue "gathering place", the Jews of requirements not only in church attendance collective "," have small rooms, small groups and collective learning classic.

Traditional Jews every morning, afternoon, evening prayers, venture to say it with their neighbors Isla taught somewhat similar.
