The Temple of Buddha Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was listed on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Temple is located on the beautiful Lake Kandy in the center of the holy city of Kandy. The temple holds the treasure of Sri Lanka's town and country, one of the only two spiritual teeth left by Buddha Sakyamuni. Walking in the Buddhist temple, white dress white men and women sitting on the table, reciting scriptures; The orange-clad monks walked by, the dark skin against the white walls...the lingering cigarettes, the solemn bells and drums, the pure eyes, the solemn atmosphere, let your heart slowly become calm and peaceful. The inner temple is divided into two floors, the lower floor of the Buddha Hall, the golden glory. The upper temple is supported by many Hindu pillars, and the temple is hung with Buddhist flags, consisting of blue, yellow, red, white, orange and the first five colors of mixed colors, which are six colors released by the Holy Body when the Buddha was made into Tao. Follow the stairs to the second floor to the dark room where the Buddha's teeth are placed. The table in front of the door is filled with various lotus flowers provided by the believers. The lotus is the national flower of Sri Lanka, and locals usually come to the temple with lotus flowers. The Buddha's teeth are stored in the seven-story golden pagoda. This year, the Buddha Dental Festival celebrations began on August 17 and lasted until August 31. Elephants carrying the Buddha Dental "Sheli Tower", from Kandy Buddha Dental Temple, cruised the city to let the people enjoy the glory of Buddha Dental. On the Buddha's teeth festival, from nose to foot are decorated with exquisite edging fabric, the most gorgeous and domineering leader elephant back is loaded with huge Huali, Huali is the much-anticipated collection of Buddha teeth Sheli dumplings. Buddha was cremated in the Mallas area in 543 BC, and the local officials in northern India shared the Buddha's Sheri. The son-in-law and daughter of King GUHASIVA in the 4th century AD secretly brought to Sri Lanka to give to the King of Ceylon in a hair knot. It was worshipped by the temple, originally built by King Vimalada, and now built during the reign of King Kritisriya Siha. Another Buddha tooth is the Buddha Tooth Tower of Lingguang Temple in the eight major places in Beijing.

DEAR张小球
St. Mary's Church is a particularly beautiful Catholic church and the surroundings are also very good. People here hold weddings. Most will choose to be held here at St. Mary's Church, which is also a local landmark historical building.

When visiting Lake Bella, I went in and visited. There were people selling tight at the entrance, 400 rupees per person, not too expensive. I had to take off my shoes when I entered the temple. Fortunately, I wore chopsticks. If I didn't burn the soles of my feet at more than 30 degrees of heat. There are many Buddha statues in the temple, some very similar to those offered in China, and the president has seen it after reading it.

The Ganggalama Temple in Colombo is displayed in various bodhisattvas, some smiling, some kind and kind, giving you warmth and calm. People come in and out, there are weddings, and Buddhism is a Sri Lankan lifestyle.

This is one of the many temples we have visited, a special holy place, one that Buddha visited when he came to Sri Lanka, with a huge reclining Buddha, which is probably one of the most worth visiting among the many temples in the country. This Kalania Temple is one of the places where Buddha came to Sri Lanka. It is also a very relaxing place. Many foreigners used to come here often. It is a good place to visit in the Colombo area. There is a lot to visit here, there is a museum. This temple is very close to the Kranya River and also passes through it.

DEAR张小球
The St. Bodhi tree is a very religious plant in the local area. If we look at it simply by a tree, it is superficial to religious belief. There is a temple on the edge of the Bodhi tree, which is small, but there are many people who come to worship.

Sri Lanka's oldest Shelita, Thhuparamaya, is also the first Buddhist building built in the 3rd century BC. Unlike the Great White Tower I have visited before, there are many stone pillars around, some are obviously tilted, so that the white pagoda under the blue sky adds a lot of vicissitudes.

Although we didn’t get inside, from the outside it was an amazing Indian temple in central Colombo, and the carving was fantastic. It seemed like an ordinary residential area, but then we saw the temple. Awesome!! A corner of an incredible building. Be sure to take time to visit. We came here by tutu car from Cinnamom Lakeside Hotel, which is only 5 minutes away from the hotel and is well worth a visit.
