The calm surrounds the visitor as he enters the paper lanterned sky. Humbled, he walks on the grounds with care, admiring the simple beauty of the Buddhist Temple.
Breath escapes the lungs as a view filled with trees of
cedars, cypress and junipers splash out from the Taiwanese hillside.
The Chinese deity, decorated by lanterns, oversees the Feng Yuan valley, protecting its people.
The calm attracted by this place provides a needed escape from the buzzing of the city below.
Gifts to ancestors fill the table, cakes and fruits plentiful. The spirit of the gifts are eaten by the deceased. Once the spirit is taken, people (such as our English teaching group) get to enjoy the bounty of fruit.
Buddhist gods stand guard protecting the sacred shrines inside.
Incense lifts up through the rafters, prayers sent up to their owners from their loved ones below.
Such beauty and serenity. The mind centered and the body whole. Until we meet again.
