 The temple started off as an attap hut on a land around Bartley donated by a grateful devotee.It was later rebuilt by Wan Guan Lin into a zinc-roof and wooden structure, while devotees had constructed a huge statue of the Laughing Buddha out of saw dust, a pagoda and also a pavilion with the life-size figure of their patron deity, "Nan Wu Wu Ji Sheng Mu".While the temple at Lorong How Sun was basically a Chinese Mahayana Buddhist temple, its teachings was a fusion of the "san-jiao" (three religion) derived mainly from Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
