Buddhist Monastery

Another weekend adventure!

We visited a Buddhist monastery or temple grounds. These are the living quarters of the monks there.
Another view of the statue and stone in front.

The more holes in the rock, the more holy. This is considered to be very holy.

Here I am in the bell tower, bonging the bell.

Some of the buildings on the monastery grounds:

Here we have a lecture hall and a temple with a reclining female Buddha made of jade and precious jewels. It's quite exceptional!

Details on the front of the alter.

We weren't allowed to take pictures in most of the buildings that were being used for prayers and worship, but these two were empty:

This brass warrior was in one of the scripture/souvenir shops.
Lots of people were here  on the temple grounds, praying and burning incense.
I find it all fascinating.
