Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum, Singapore

Have you been to Singapore's Chinatown? Walk around Chinatown and one temple will surely stand out among others.  In the middle of the busy, crowded and noisy Chinatown is an  intricately designed Buddhist temple inspired by Tang Dynasty which is called the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and  Museum. The temple was founded in 2002 by Venerable Shi Fazhao which is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, which means ‘The Compassionate One’, and also called ‘The Future Buddha’.
