Buddha Tooth Relic Temple



Down the street from the Hindu temple mentioned yesterday you find the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple which contrary to the former is probably the newest temple in town. It was founded in 2002 and was only open a few months back. It is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, which means 'The Compassionate One' also called 'The Future Buddha'. In its short lifespan it has already become one of the great sights not to be missed on any tourist itinerary.
