Mahindarama Buddhist Temple (Theravada)

This is a famous temple in Penang especially during the exam period many students will come here to pray. Inside have few packing slots. They provided joss-sticks, lotus candles. After taking it we put our donation into the donation box. You may buy your own milk and write your wish when praying.

Peaceful and very clean place. The monks are very friendly, we got blessing from the monks. The temple will crowd when the major exam time, students will come here to pray for their good result.

This is a popular Buddhist temple for aspiring students and scholars seeking blessings for good results. I visited the temple during the weekday and it was a peaceful atmosphere to pray. During festival, this temple will be very crowded.

For students who is sitting exam and aims flying colour usually comes here for blessing. At least serve as moral support and motivation to work harder.

Buddhist temple. Famous for milk offering by students during exam period. Have a sleeping Buddha and bodhi tree. Also houses Buddha relics. Free entrance. Can request blessing from monk. Limited carpark during events

A must visit site in Penang where Buddhist convene to learn Dhamma, meditate & seek alternative medication. Envelope & dwell in cool, quiet, peaceful & serenity @ shrine hall. Joss stick, oil & lotus candle offering are free even if you do not offer any donation. Bring your own offerings of fruit, milk or candles @ Stupa. Get a few booklets, book or listen to free Dhamma CDs to learn a few golden Buddha's advise to help understand and elevated your problems.

#TipsForTrips; it’s especially peaceful sitting under the rustling leaves of Bodhi tree on weekdays when there isn’t big crowd.
Sunday morning is lively with community activities to partake 👍👍

Mahindrama Buddhist temple must be one of the most historical and prominent temples in Penang and Malaysia. It’s a prime example of a Theravada Sri Lankan Buddhist temple rich in vibrant colors, images, structures and symbols. It’s said to contain relics of the Buddha, and a fully grown Bodhi tree originating from a sapling in Anuradhapura Sri Lanka, that descended from the original Bodhi tree in Bodhi Gaya India under which the Buddha attained Enlightenment.
What I love most is the free community services rendered by volunteers; from Pali chanting to Meditation, TaiChi, Dharma classes, to Sunday school for children, free Medical clinics etc 🙏🙏

A sacred place and lots of students will be here to pray before their examination. Well equipped will library, training hall and free clinic

Nice temple in Penang
Many candidates of SPM come and pray here

Very Good.👍👍 Nice. Many people and have temple ,clinic, library and so on over here.

The place is very quiet, serene and harmonised with nature. A good place to sit in complete silence and just breath.. It has a good flow of nature energy and if you know how to meditate properly, you will feel recharged if you sit and meditate in the presence of Bodhisattva. The volunteers participating in this place are also very helpful and they try their best to keep the place clean consistently.

A place for students to pray for good exam result with milk.

Nice & quiet place! Of course there are always lots of people coming to pray for children’s studies. My mother used to bring me here long time ago. There is not much of changes although we can see that it was being preserved well.

Lighting of candles and prayers for good results in exams...🙏🙏🙏

Happy Wesak Day, good to see everyone follow SOP

We visited to find some more information about Buddhism and meditation. We were helped very friendly by Sunny and others, the kids received some treats and the parents received lots of info and books for future study. Thanks so much guys, such a great, welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Peaceful and serene place to visit. Visit during weekend if you are a tourist and wish to avoid crowd. Well maintained and clean. I believe you can find reading materials or religious books in English version as well.

This is a famous temple for students or adults seeking for a smooth passing in their examinations (all sorts be it SPM, STPM, college or universities exam, professional exam, etc) Local call it “The Milk God” where one would offers milk to the God and some even attach their subject taken in the examination. Believe it or not, many claim that their prayers are often answered positively
