Buddhist Temple

Driving Toward the N4 from Pretoria toward Bronkortspruit, you will notice a majestic red building to your far right.
It is here, at the Buddhist Temple, that people from all religions gather yearly for the Festival of Light, to pray that God's love and mercy may shine upon South Africa - who ever you perceive God to be...
People gather in front of the three statues of Buddha to meditate and pray and then light a candle as symbol of their being the light of a nation.

 A candle for every prayer of piece and prosperity in South Africa...
 ...and there were many.
Other statues adorn the temple and create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
