Asia Downunder - Series 13, Episode 13

This half-hour Asia Downunder special explores the rich tapestry of Asian religions. Two Muslim brothers share what it means to be Muslim in New Zealand. A visit to Henderson’s Holy Cross Parish highlights a resurgence of interest in the Catholic Church. Then, community and tradition shine through at the Nanaksar Sikh Temple in Manurewa, followed by an insightful look at the many deities of Hinduism and the philosophy of Buddhism. In a culinary segment, Geeling Ng (Gloss) brings a flavourful touch to this exploration of Asian cultures by preparing Filipino favourite, Chicken in Adobo Sauce.

Cathedrals, temples, mosques and gurdwaras are places of worship providing solace to parched souls; but for the Asian communities, they're more than that.
