Sau Seng Lum 修成林佛教寺院


Sau Seng Lum 修成林佛教寺院


This is a Chinese temple located in the Old Town of Petaling Jaya. 

On 16 August 2023, first day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, I followed Agnes and Natalie to the Sau Seng Lum Buddhist Temple in Old Town Petaling Jaya. 

Uncle Wu died in 2011 and his spirit tablet is here in this temple. So we came here to visit him and a few other relatives and to purchase food for them.

My first ever experience on the Hungry Ghost Festival which I felt very meaningful.
