YiHeGong is the place to be! (…for people without cameras)
Yesterday I went to the Lama Temple with a few of my classmates. At first I thought it was going to be a very quick trip, but once I stepped inside I knew that something extraordinary was coming my way. We walked around the temple looking at incense shops and the tourists pass by. Many of us were gazing at the rituals that the people were performing. The most interesting part of this small trip was experiencing a different type of religion.
After watching other people “make their wishes” we walked into many buildings to look at statues and relics. The statues that caught my eye the most were the giant god statues made of wood. As soon as we walked in the giant statue shadowed over us. I don’t know how big it was (as in actual height) but this statue pretty much touched the ceiling. I’ve been to a few temples and had great experiences, but seeing these statues was an amazing event during this trip.
