A Buddhist Temple
Today we went and checked out a Buddhist temple near campus. It was very interesting and intriguing. There were many statues and altars devoted to Buddha and humongous sticks of incense that look like giant fireworks. In the back there is a giant stone temple. We had tea with a monk there and had a good conversation with him. Afterwards he showed us some of his Tai Chi. Then we went and explored downtown and took a Mamu back from the bus stop, which is like a motorcycle transformed into a mini bus with a flat platform, and two small benches in the back with a rooftop.

All very interesting Dan, and what did you learn about Buddhism?
ReplyDeleteDan,
ReplyDeleteI have been following you around and am fascinated and envious. I am so proud and in awe of how open you are to new experiences. Keep writing and enjoying yourself. Way to go, Dan.

Dan, my wife and I will be traveling to Xiangyang this year to bring home our little girl. We are both Buddhists and are eager to visit a Buddhist temple. Can you let us know about this temple you visited - its name and where in the city it is located? Thanks! - Sean Andrews (sean.andrews@twcable.com)
