Ah, the middle temple, the Hall of True Enlightenment!
A grand guardian statues is found here.
And inside the temple, lots of Tibet style deities can be found. I like it here, cause it's different from the usual Chinese style temple that I am used to.
More interesting deities.
The altar of what looked like Goddess of Mercy?
And a lot of interesting paintings of guardians. Just like in the lower temple, there were 2 on each side of the door, but instead of statues, they were of paintings here.
Love the vibrant colours of the paintings.
Interesting thing about the temples here is, you have to go to the back of the altar to find another the path to proceed on in your journey. This was slightly different from the usual temples I was used too the altar is usually against a wall, or that you could only walk around it. Here, the path forward is always at the back of the altar. And to find it, you usually have to go through these narrow dark walkways. This kinda explained why my husband couldn't find his way up the white pagoda until I texted him from the top, lol. Yes, only the enlighten ones can see the path! Lol. Kidding. I'm just the curious one who likes to walk into every corner of a temple.
And here is what the path to the upper white pagoda looks like..... Luckily, I've climbed worst path than these before. So frankly, almost nothing could have been worst than that. This, was nothing to me! Onward I went!
