Kek Look Seah Temple

Kek Look Seah Temple, Chinese Buddhist temple in Taman Happy, Ipoh, Malaysia.

Kek Look Seah Temple is a Mahāyāna Buddhist temple in Taman Happy, Ipoh, Perak, run by a community guided by planchette divination. It began in 1960 in a small terrace house and still holds a medical room where traditional Chinese medicine is dispensed, a feature rare in Buddhist temples and the reason it is often mistaken for a Dejiao establishment.

The temple was established in 1960 by a group of like-minded Buddhists guided by planchette divination from the Buddhas. They started in a small terrace house, where they also provided traditional Chinese medicine to those in need, especially the poor.

The name Kek Look Seah means "Sukhāvatī Society" in Hokkien, after the Buddha of the western paradise. The temple is known for planchette divination, which leads many people to mistake it for a Dejiao establishment although it belongs to the Mahāyāna branch. At Wesak, local supporters hold a large vegetarian feast before the altar, praying first and eating afterwards.

The temple operates a medical room providing traditional Chinese medicine services and consultations. Visitors can access these healing practices and advice available to the local community.

The temple conducts planchette divination practices that are part of local spiritual traditions. The facility also operates an incineration center located in the nearby Bercham area.
