Saturday Morning at the Temple

Ruth and I ventured out to a Buddhist temple not far from our house yesterday morning.  It was quite a bee hive of activity when we arrived.  I especially enjoyed the scene above, with the monk instructing the small group of people gathered around him. 
Ruth and I tried to observe the people in their worship rituals as unobtrusively as possible, while still enjoying the ornate temple decorations and taking a few photos.  Below is the Buddha with 1000 hands.
                                  We were amused by the royal blue hair on these Buddahs.

"JESUS~  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved. " Acts 4:12

No I don't think we have been to a temple in Shanghai. The first trip we had been to too many temples! Mom

Did you count the hands? Are there really 1,000?
