I come here a few times. It's so peaceful!

The Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple was founded in 1927 by a Thai monk known as Ven Vutthisara. The temple grew in popularity and, in 1930, Ven Vutthisasara built the present temple building with a donation from Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par. There are strong Thai influences in the architecture and decor. The Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple is one of the most prominent and widely visited Buddhist temples in Singapore,often referred to as the Temple of 1,000 Lights. It features a 15-meter high statue of a seated Buddha, which weighs nearly 300 tons, as well as many smaller Buddha images and murals depicting the life of Gautama Buddha. The large central statue is surrounded by a stylized aura made of numerous light bulbs— often lit with a donation towards the temple(approach the friendly staff to request)—from which the temple derives its nickname. In a small room beneath the altar is an image of a reclining Buddha, Buddha towards the end of his life, under a Yellow Saraka Tree. On Vesak Day, the annual holiday celebrating the birth and enlightenment of Lord Buddha, devotees donate money to the temple and in exchange are allowed to place gold leaf onto a small statue of the Buddha. As the day wears on, the Buddha statue is almost entirely covered in a fresh layer of gold leaves. The temple is open between 8.00 am and 4.30 pm daily. Admission is free.

This is not a traditional Buddhist temple, it has more the appearance of a tourist spot. You can buy offers, turn the wheel of Fortune and read about the history of the place. Just behind the big Buddha, you will find the sleeping Buddha.

Thai style temple. The lady was very helpful and explained the history. Be sure to go behind the Buddha to a small entrance that leads to a reclining Buddha.

I have been here for many years and times. Last visited during this Vesak day as well. A great historical place and peaceful temple especially less peak season. Missed the usual caretakers, elder man and lady (with spec), which taking care of the temple.

Historical Buddhist Temple rebuilt by the famous Haw Par brothers.

A neat and beautiful Theravada Temple. The main hall isn't big, but the very high ceiling gives a feeling that the main hall is spacious. Sunlight can shine through the ceiling windows and the main hall will look bright, beautiful and cheerful. The life story of Lord Buddha is depicted using figurines below the huge statue of Lord Buddha. At the rear of the huge statue of Lord Buddha, there is a small room where you can find another statue of Lord Buddha in reclining posture. The care takers of this temple are extremely warm and friendly!

I missed the secret chamber (didn't know it was there), so only spent a few minutes here. I did like the animal statues and the giant Buddha, it's a bit of a different style than other temples. I wouldn't go way out of my way for this as a tourist.

Rude person at the counter attending to people coming for fortune sticks. He scolded me when I asked how to do fortune sticks, he said you first greet somebody when you come to the temple. Shocking how rude and arrogant can somebody be inside a temple. I was sitting in prayer in front of Lord Buddha before making an inquiry about the fortune sticks.

Heritage place, vibing with strong energies. Current temple keepers are in fact proactive & helpful👍 Missed the Aunty who did rituals and blessings many years. Hope she's well. Premise requires heavy maintainence & upkeep. Do support what's few relics being left!

A serene place and one of the temple, mosque around the area.

Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple exudes tranquility and spiritual grace. The serene ambiance and intricate architecture create a sacred haven for contemplation. The temple's peaceful surroundings and profound energy make it a must-visit for those seeking solace and a deeper connection with Buddhist teachings.

This place is a bit hidden from the main street, but along the way, that is a map showing you where each temple is located. We walk from the Little India MRT station and are looking for food. One of the local people suggested the best vegetarian restaurant (look at the photo, please). We stop and eat and begin the walk strongly suggest having a good pair of walking shoes but we did not so we are hurting. Along the major street called Serrangon up and down is full of different temples and mosque Around this area, have two other temples. Take out your shoe before entering. That is one person in the temple who can speak English. For Pray to Buddha and ask for a fortune. For praying cost for the incent, candle, etc, the whole set is $5, The chinese temple is based on donation for the upkeep, so you can donate whatever you can. Please be respectful and courtesy. Do not be in a way or in front while praying, soft voice. You can photos not an issue.

Whenever I go to a temple, I'm reminded of something Buddha said that really stays with me: "Our biggest mistake is thinking we have a lot of time." It helps me value each moment and be aware of how I live. This makes me realize the importance of making the most of my time, especially with the people I love.

Nice place to worship and with blessing on thousand of light from sakya muni buddha.

You'll be Blessed when you visit this temple. Monks will Bless you with holy water. A must temple to visit. I have been coming to this temple since I was young. Now it has been 50 years.

One of the oldest temple in Singapore, featuring the largest indoor Buddha in Singapore, place is serene and clean, worth a visit!

I do visit this temple quite often about 2-3 times a year and the uncle and aunty who run this place have always been very warm, loving and welcoming. Its great to see that they still upkeep their kindness even after all these years. 💕 This temple is a quiet and peaceful one that's well hidden amidst HDB blocks and hence isn't crowded most of the time. Good place for observing some silence and/or meditation. Highly recommend for a visit!

Very 灵. Good when you feel troubled and need answers.

My first time to the temple. Very friendly staff who guided me through what is to be done, even pointing out the different relics behind the main hall. Take a peek at the hidden Sleeping Buddha. I almost missed it if not for the staff. Love the light inside. And to top it off, it is part of the Little India heritage trail. Mix of Chinese, Thai and Indian Buddhism. Be prepared to remove shoes though. Big like and gratitude!

They don't have a monk there. But there's a uncle that can do blessing for you. Blessing is $15, their sleeping Buddha in the basement is beautiful

solemn

As I entered the building on a quiet street, a large Buddha statue filled my field of vision. The Buddha of the Land of Smiles has a somewhat calm face, but his gaze never overlaps. The nervousness of the first day of the trip disappeared with a gentle atmosphere. From a traveler on the Thousand Nights Express

There's is no other Wat except Wat Ananda and Wat Gaya to go to in Singapore in Central Singapore...Great history and great pple taking care of the temple...5 stars for me ..

Seeing Lord Buddha giant statue calms the mind and gives inspiration

Our annual affair visiting this temple on Vesak day. This is the tallest sitting Buddha statue in Singapore. There is also a Sleeping Buddha statue in the temple. :)

Nice temple. Visit here during Vesak day.

The Thai Buddhist temple is situated along Race Course Road in Little India. This is one of an iconic temple in the area with a huge and majestic seated Buddha statue. It is well kept though it was founded in the year 1927. Will make a trip there again.

Nice place for quiet and relaxing.

(Translated by Google) Inside the temple there is an image of the colossal Buddha that almost completely fills the entire building. It is a small temple, but very visited by the faithful of the town. I especially liked it a lot, because at the foot of the Buddha (at the base) all around are the different scenes of Buddha's life with small sculptures, it was very illustrative to know Buddha's life in that way. The monks who are there are very attentive and receive visitors very ambles. (Original) Dentro del templo hay una imagen de Buda colosal que casi llena en su totalidad todo el edificio. Es un templo pequeño, pero muy visitado por los fieles de la localidad. En especial me gustó mucho, porque a los pies del buda (en la base) todo alrededor están las diferentes escenas de la vida de Buda con pequeñas esculturas, fue muy ilustrativo conocer de esa manera la vida de Buda. Los Monjes que están ahí son muy atentos y reciben muy ambles a los visitantes.

Tranquility

(Original) 千燈寺院の正式名称は、シャカ ムニ ブッダ ガヤ テンプル(Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple)なのですが、現在は1000個の燈からなる寺院として、千燈寺院（The Temple of 1,000 Lights）と呼ばれているそうです。

The temple house a 300 tons of Sakya Muni Buddha surrounded with endless trails of lights. It reflect mixed culture of Chinese, Thai and Indian.

(Original) Die Leute hier waren sehr nett, der Tempel wirklich schön. Die Buddha-Statue ist faszinierend und für 5 Dollar wird das Licht eingeschaltet, toll.
