Oriental Cave Paintings in Perak Tong Cave Temple

[mylo]

Recently, I visited Perak Tong - One of the largest limestone cave temple in Malaysia. Built in 1926 by a Buddhist priest from China, Perak Tong houses over 40 Buddha. Beyond the main altar, a passage leads into the cave's interior. After a steep climb of 385 steps, the cave opens again to reveal a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.

There were loads of AWESOME cave paintings depicting Buddha, the deities and Gods. I managed to climbed up nearly 400 steps to reach the peak of the cave. The highest viewpoint was SUPERB. Strong wind was blowing from all direction. It was a PEACEFUL and STRESS FREE moment my life!

Here are some photos from my trip to Perak Tong:

Picture 4 - Back to HELL! :shock:

The devil was sent back to hell by the Four Heavenly Kings. There are at least 6 different version
of Four Heavenly kings around the world. The Four kings in Malaysia normally has devils pinned
to the ground.
