The Opening ceremony~



Here are the three painting that I managed to shoot. Just like the title, all the painting are all refresh local fruits.

I've attended water and oil painting exhibition--The Journey of refreshment by my art teacher on Wesak day. It take place at Fo Guang Dong Zen Temple. (佛光山东禅寺) located at Sungai Jarom, Jenjarom, Kuala Langat. Selangor.

The Journey takes about one hour. Open Ceremony started at 2pm, lucky us had arrived on time. Thanks to the newly open KESAS HIGHWAY which has saved up so much time but not money because there were 4 tolls along the way. Each toll cost RM 2.20. *Wide Eyes*

The temple totally captured my eyes when I saw it. It's beautiful, impressive, and majestic. The feeling is like China when you first step into it. Maybe as a Christian I really didn't expose much to other religion, I can't put those feeling in words but it's not bad at all. I was so much impressed by the people and everything here.

The temple was happening, a lot of tourist and local people. According to my friend, Buddhist celebrate Wesak day. (Actually I have no idea of what is Wesak day, I thought it's for Indians! oh my.. and he laugh till roll on the floor -_-)

We went straight to Dong Zen Art Gallery. There were two art exhibitions going on the same day. One was the traditional water color & oil painting by my teacher. Another was contemporary Digital Art. After greeting our teacher Mr.Yeo Eng Peng, the ceremony started. The section that I dislike, I just can't stand the l-o-n-g speech. The longest I can stay was only less than 10 minutes and you'll find me disappeared from the hall. *grin*

I went for a walk around the temple. I managed to take some photos but I realize my photography techniques are far away from the professional photograher. My photos turned out just don't show the beauty of the temple at all. T.T

After all I was quite upset because I didn't shoot much. I'll visit the temple one day again just for the intention to take nice photos.

If you wish to visit this beautiful temple, here are the direction with location map.
