Is there any English book on Chinese temples and deities available that you would recommend? I am interested in learning about the different deities and symbology in Taoism. Thanks.
There is a reprint of the "Chinese Temples in Singapore" by Leon Comber (first printed in 1958) under a compilation with the book title as "Through the Bamboo Windows".
There is also an email forum (in English) discussing about temples and deities at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taoism-singapore
Do you still visit temples? I just dropped by the temple behind Ccentrepoint. Had a good time remising with the folks there about the good old days when next door was Cuppage Centre and we rode trishaws home. I enjoy your blog - it's like a trip down memory lane...
Yes, I still do. But I have yet to post more here, which I should be doing. (^^)
Thanks for sharing. Yes, I have been to this temple only once. I must go there to take a few more pictures and perhaps, learn a little more from the resident folks there.
If you like, please share with us at my other email list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taoism-singapore
