Our last site of the day was to a Buddhist temple. The
outside courtyard looked like a Chinese hobbit hole with its circular doors
leading into the buildings, while the bonsai tree outside looked very worn. The
buildings were very decorative though, and hygiene must be important to them
since they were jet washing parts of the floor during our visit. It’s a shame that
it was dwarfed by towering city apartment blocks outside. Within the building
were some very beautiful deities on display. There were lovely ornate purple
statues on a gold background that were surrounded by floral displays to match. There
were huge masked being entrapped behind framed windows as if they were looking
into us from another dimension. Some were happy, some were sad, and some just
jeered at you in jest when you had to make a choice as if they knew the right
solution but they weren’t going to give away anything.
