The vibrant Kuan Im Tng Temple is situated at the heart of Joo Chiat in Tembeling Road and is thronged by devotees throughout the year. In addition to being a temple, Kuan Im Tng also doubles as a spiritual hub for the Buddhist fraternity. The temple preaches the religious sermons of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Through recitation of Buddhist Mantras, it teaches the accumulation of good karma. Taoist philosophies are preached in order to cultivate the body and mind. It also teaches how to incorporate Confucian etiquette in our everyday lives.
The structure has reached its present stature after going through not less than two renovations. Formerly, this religious abode used to be a small structure, with coconut plantations surrounding it. The first renovation of this temple took place in 1972. In quick succession to it, the Buddhist Temple was further expanded in 1988 in order to accommodate the number of devotees which kept increasing on a daily basis.
