Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple. The Wishes Being Sent Upward...
This Taoist temple is not ancient. As a matter of fact, it was built in 1921 and named for Wong Chuping, a shepherd who began following Taoism at the age of 15. By the age of 55, it is said that he reached enlightenment and gained immortality. From that point on, he was referred to as Wong Tai Sin.
It is believed that Wong Tai Sin rescues the dying, heals the wounded, and punishes all evil. Taoists also believe that he has the power to grant whatever is requested of him.
Wow! Gorgeous shot and I had no idea as to the meaning of the temple. The floral umbrellas adds such an unexpected softness to the reds and gold and fire.
