Two Gods, One Temple | Sze Cheng Keng Taoist Temple & Sri Muneswarar Peetam Hindu Temple

[@richardchung7198]

I wish that schools can have visits to this type of temples and teach our children how special and wonderful country we live in, that we are so tolerant of each other that even 2 different religion and places of worship can live together side by side without conflict. Maybe there should even be a documentary made about our unique temples and places of worship.

[@HM13.]

Back then throughout my primary school even to secondary school years, we had this NE Learning Journey (i think?) that all us students go on a educational tour at all the historical and religious places in Singapore. Had loads of fun learning as all of us keep asking the teachers questions. Ended up it will be the tour guide or the person-in-charge answers all our queries. Flashback good memories!

[@AbhishekVishal-m6e]

well , its becaise taoism and hinduism have same philosphical teaching , tao in taoism is brahman in hinduism , both these emphaises that god is in everything and the underlying divinity of god in every object is called tao or brahman ..thats why you will see many chinese in hindu temple and many indian in chinese temple

Thank you, OGS, for this lovely piece. Are you considering doing one on the Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple that houses deities from three religions - Taoist, Buddhist, and Hindu - and also a Muslim kramat (shrine)? That is another story of religious harmony in Singapore.

i don’t know why this temple isn’t more famous! a great example of racial and religious harmony in singapore

[@asillypiggy]

Cause unlike Abrahamic religion both religions are accepting and tolerance of other faith. Santana Dharma for example believe in a singularity of divine essence that appear in different forms. Chinese folk religions do not worship deities as Gods but rather as humans who attain divinity thru good works or luck.

[@prakharprabhat585]

The dieties of Hinduism are God realized. Hinduism believes entire existence to be the manifestation of Brahman(The eternal God of Hinduism).you're also Brahman. It's a matter of self discovery. And the Hindu deities realized this thing. Even hindu saints realize this and attain liberation.

[@tc2334]

Taoism/Chinese Folk Religion is essentially a Chinese version of Hinduism. The two are fundamentally very, very similar. It's just that Indian and Chinese people don't often have the chance to get into close contact with one another often for people to know. However, in SE Asia in places like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, this is kind of a well-known thing. Indians praying in Chinese temples and Chinese in Hindu temples isn't rare.
