KUAN YIN OF THE SOUTHERN SEAS IN BALAI IN BACHOK DISTRICT IN KELANTAN MY HOME STATE

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
Every year when I return to Kota Baru which is sacred as I was born there, I visit as many Buddhist temples as I can with James Ng Kun Tek. This is the Shrine of Kuanyin of the Southern Seas. Kuan Yin is associated as the Goddess of the South Seas so the location is incredibly suitable.

This temple which is actually a residential house occupied by the resident caretaker of the giant statue of Kuan Yin is located maybe just 50 metres from the sea! A quick walk and I am there by the beach! The erosion is terrible and I fear for the future!

James Ng Kun Tek and I arrived around 5.30 pm which meant the lighting was at its worse as the sun was setting BEHIND the statue of Kuanyin and not in the horizon beyond the sea as expected! So I was taking photos against the setting sun which was behind Kuan Yin! So don't blame me for strangely hued photos!

The statue was inaugurated on the auspicious day of 23 February 2007 and is well known though it was deserted of visitors when I was there.

In this temple, Kuan Yin  is depicted with her 2 acolytes, a boy and girl both facing and worshipping her. One is Jade Girl or Dragon Girl or Longnu. The boy is Sudana or Golden Youth. If only I can be an acolyte and join them and worship the Goddess of Mercy for eternity!

3 dogs came running out to greet Ng Kun Tek whose name Kuan Yin says will prosper mega big
Did Ng Kun Tek say something rude until Kuan Yin instructed the dog to shut his mouth by closing it with its paw?
The second dog kisses Ng Kun Tek! When animals like you, then you are OK in the eyes of Gods and Goddesses and Ng Kun Tek has passed the test! Congratulations!
A last kiss from Dedione. To me, all dogs are named Dedione after my darling adopted son Dedione Kee
This is Kuan Yin of the  Southern Sea! Incredible sight in such an obscure place as Balai! Not Bali!
2 dogs came to worship me
My Goddess of Mercy.
Here Kuan Yin rides a dragon


Kuan Yin is also shown seated on an elephant
Or fish
Or the Hou which is a Buddhist lion. See Ng Kun Tek praying to the Goddess of Mercy
But a dragon is the most popular and imposing

The clouds are amazing

Kuan Yin means 'Loyus Born'
I was on my knee taking this photo
Exposed to the elements Kuan Yin and her 2 acolytes remain strong and serene
Utterly breathtaking
