The building is not very old, and actually the are still building new temples on the place. The plans are very huge.
Inside the maoin temple therte are hundreds of Buddha status.
But also the traditional elements such as drums, bells, bamboo and incense are naturally present.
As all Taiwan temples this temple is very active, and hundreds of people come to pray daily. Due to the size of this particular temple, also many foreigners come to pray here. While we were there a group of monks from overseas came to pray.
On the way out of the temple, we made a stop in the big canteen and had a wonderfull free meal. All vegetarian. This is financed by donation, and naturally we gave a big one.
Jeg elsker det system: donation! Alle kan give hvad de magter og ønsker og alle deltager på samme betingelser ... smukt! I øvrigt også nogel rigtig gode billeder af et smukt tempel. Hvor er munkenes dragte grå? Synes jeg ikke jeg har set før.
ReplyDeleteTak skal du have søs - det sted var det svært at tage ikke smukke billeder. Det var et fantastisk sted, selvom det var relativ nyt. Jeg foretrækker ellers gamle templer, jo ældre jo bedre så man rigtig kan indsnuse historiens duft samt forestille sig de besøgende mange hundrede år siden stå præcis der hvor du står. Jeg tror disse munke er fra Korea, men måske kan Wen fortælle os det?
