Established in 1976 by Ge Li Rinpoche, this Tibetan Buddhist sanctuary spans 12 acres, offering a serene retreat amidst lush greenery and limestone hills.
The temple's centerpiece is the 13-story, 72-meter-tall pagoda, known as the Enlightened Heart Medicine Buddha Bhaishaya Guru Pagoda. This towering structure ranks among the tallest pagodas globally and houses an 11-meter-high golden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, gazing over the Kinta Valley from the eighth floor. Inside, visitors can explore a labyrinth of balconies, staircases and prayer wheels, all adorned with vibrant murals and intricate carvings.
Beyond the pagoda, the temple complex features numerous pavilions, shrines and statues representing various deities and guardians. Traditional Tibetan prayer wheels and flags line the walkways, inviting visitors to engage in spiritual practices. The temple is particularly vibrant during Wesak Day, when devotees gather to unfurl a massive 60-meter-long thangka, a traditional Buddhist scroll painting.
Experience the serene beauty and spiritual richness of the Enlightened Heart Buddhist Temple-a hidden gem awaiting your discovery in Perak.
