The abbot Venerable Dhammavuddho Thero is a Malaysia of Chinese descent. He worked as an electrical engineer before going forth into the homeless life.
In 1998, through donations from his supporters, he founded a 15-acre forest monastery, Vihara Buddha Gotama at Temoh, near Kampar, in the state of Perak, Malaysia. The manastery focuses on the study of the Suttas (discourses) and Vinaya ( monastic discipline), and the practice of meditation, according to the original teaching of the Buddha. It is open to monks and nuns ( maechees or anagarinis), and also laymen and laywomen.
From the Yongle Emperor onwards, 13 Ming Dynasty Emperors were buried in this area. The tombs of the first two Ming Emperors are located near Nanjing (the capital city during their reigns). Emperor Jingtai was also not buried here, as the Emperor Tianshun had denied Jingtai an imperial burial, but was instead buried west of Beijing. The last Chongzhen Emperor, who hanged himself in April 1644, named Si Ling by the Qing emperor, was the last to be buried here, but on a much smaller scale than his predecessors.

The Mountain Resort in Chengde , literally: Mountain Resort for Avoiding the Heat; ( Qing Dynasty's summer palace) situated in the city of Chengde in Hebei Province, China, is the world's largest existing imperial garden.
The Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing Emperors often spent several months a year here to escape the summer heat in the capital city of Beijing and the palace zone in the southern part of the resort was therefore designed to resemble the Forbidden City in Beijing. It consists of two parts: a court in front, where the emperor received high officials, nobles of various minority nationalities, and foreign envoys; and bed chambers in the rear, which were the imperial family's living quarters.
Built between 1703 and 1792, the Mountain Resort took 89 years to complete. It covers a total area of 5.6 km², almost half of Chengde's urban area. It is a vast complex of palaces and administrative and ceremonial buildings. Temples of various architectural styles and imperial gardens blend harmoniously into a landscape of lakes, pastureland and forests.
