JEWEL OF TIBET the musical 雪域上的光芒：文成公主音乐剧

This is a musical extravaganza about the story of Princess Wen Cheng's journey from China to Tibet more than a thousand years ago to marry King Songsten Gampo. Crossing deserts, hailstorms, and snow-capped mountains, she brought the peaceful teachings of Buddhism to Tibet. With her gentleness, wisdom and compassion, she captured the hearts of many in the land of snows. And she has left behind her legacy in the world famous Potala Palace in Lhasa.

Jewel of Tibet, a tribute to Princess Wen Chang, comprises of 150 minutes of original music, dance, and stage extravaganza. It is a spectacular million Ringgit creation by Musical On Stage Productions, the same creative team behind the internationally acclaimed Siddhartha The Musical and Above Full Moon The Musical, which includes director Ho Lin Huay and composer Imee Ooi and stars a talented cast from the pop music, classical music and dance scenes.

From the majestic Tang Dynasty to the vast mystical land of Tibet, Jewel of Tibet artistically depicts a historical epic with enchanting music and songs, intricate dance movements, spectacular scene change, backdrops and props, and over 200 sets of newly designed colorful ethnic costumes from traditional Tang Dynasty and Tibet.

FGS Dong Zen Temple CNY Lantern & Flora Festival 2008 佛光山东禅寺平安灯会暨花艺展

On the 4th day of CNY, my brother had brought his wife, Alice，Donald and me to Jenjarom, Selangor to visit FGS Dong Zen Temple. This was the 3rd time I visit to Dong Zen Temple. We were really attracted by the decoration and the atmosphere. The temple dazzled with lamps, tanglung (lantern) and flowers. We reach there around 5pm and leave around 9pm. It's good to reach before dark so that you can take pictures with the flowers. You should stay till dark so that you do not miss out the beautiful lantern all around the temple. It's amazing.

大年初四，哥哥带着大嫂、恒有和我到访佛光山东禅寺。这次是我第三次来到这庄严的到场。我们都被精致的布置和热闹的新年气氛深深的感染了。东禅寺被灯笼花朵以及种种装饰布置得美轮美奂。我们大约下午五点到达，一直到晚上九点才离开。若您打算到访东禅寺，建议您在天黑前到达，那您就能和漂亮的花海合照。当然，千万到待到天黑后才离开，这样才不会错过美丽的花灯。太棒了！

Pay respect to my Lord Buddha!
向慈悲伟大的佛陀敬礼！

Make a wish!
诚心发愿！
