Bhuddism is the second largest religion practiced in China. Second only to Taoism. Bhuddism stems back over 4,000 years in China, and the Bhuddist temples can be seen all over the country. The local Bhuddist monks have created a special blessing to recognize the efforts of Westerners in saving the many Chinese orphans... Today we participated in a voluntary visit to the 'Six Banyan Tree Temple'. This particular temple has been burnt down three times during the wars which separate various dynasties.
The most recent version of this temple is now 1,000 years old!
It is an unbelievably beautiful experience to visit a Bhuddist temple.
Their is a sense of peace and tranquility that permeates not only the monks, but the visitors and surroundings. We lit incense and offered a prayer for our little Mia. This picture was taken in front of three large Bhuddas signifying past, present & future...
