Seng Guan Temple

Seng Guan Ssu (simplified Chinese: 信愿寺; traditional Chinese: 信願寺; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sìn-goān Sū / Sìn-goān Sī; pinyin: Xìnyuàn Sì) is a prominent Buddhist edifice on Narra Street, near Divisoria, in Tondo, Manila, Philippines.

It contains a stupa, a huge repository for urns of human ashes, several meditation rooms, and various shrines.

[2] Seng Guan Ssu was established by Wu Jianglu, Wang Zhenwen, and members of their Chinese Buddhist Society in the Philippines.

His work laid the foundations for several institutions, including the Samantabhadra Institute in Santa Cruz, Manila, and the Hwa Chong Buddhist Temple complex in Tugatog, Malabon, Rizal (now Malabon, Metro Manila), where his ashes are enshrined in a stupa.

Over the years, Seng Guan Ssu also conducted many charity works for the poor, orphans, elderly, refugees, and government welfare projects.
