Tong
Sia Siang Teng in
Hadyai is an important charity organization in Southern Thailand to help casualties in traffic accidents and other mishaps. If the victims are alive they would be sent to the hospital but if they are dead they would help to give them a proper cremation. Above we see the entrance to the Siam
Teng.
The office. I went there to make a donation to the organization.
The Chinese temple inside.
Their operations building, where the ambulances are parked.
The
Phra Sampogong Buddha shrine.
Inside the Chinese temple are 3 main deities.
In the middle is the statue of Patriarch
Tai Hong Gong (1039-1125CE), a great Chan Master of the Song dynasty, who is revered by the
Teochew Chinese in Thailand.
On the left was
Tua Pek Gong, a popular earth deity who likes to give wealth to devotees.
On the right was
Jow Mae
Lim Kor Neo, a well-known female deity in
Pattani province.
The calligraphy on the board says "Illuminate your Heart and see your Nature", the ideal of Chan Buddhism.
A 3" bronze
bucha of
Tai Hong Gong I chowed from the temple.
