Tai Pee Sim Monastery, Ipoh, Perak

Tai Pee Sim Monastery, Ipoh (19 October, 2018)


Tai Pee Sim Monastery (GPS: 4.58345, 101.09545; Chinese: 大悲心) is a Buddhist monastery in Ipoh, Perak. Comprising a complex of buildings along Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun, the monastery traces its beginnings to 1945, when a Buddhist monk by the name of Reverend Seng Seong (姓上) established a Buddhist shrine within a cave in Silibin. Three years later, in 1948, he relocated the shrine to a wooden structure in Kampung Jawa, and it was there that the name Tai Pee Sim, which means "great compassion" was used for the first time.

Reverend Seng Seong relocated Tai Pee Sim again in 1960, to its present site at Jalan Kampar, now known as Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
