I passed this temple in Wuhan today and did not realise that many Chinese people are Buddhist. They apparently get around 500,000 visitors per year. There are 500 (Arhats) within, so you can choose from anyone of them to be your Buddha. Just count your age from the first one and voila he is your Buddha.
Pattaya, Banglamung, Thailand. Hi my name is Rick and I first came to Thailand when I was offered a position in my company's Bangkok office. I have now been living in Thailand for the past 12 years with my Thai wife kanlaya and we are staying on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard. Since I have been here I have learned a great deal about the Thai lifestyle, Thai culture and what it means to be married to a Thai. The purpose of this Blog is to share my experiences along the way.
