tis is the only one temple mixed Chinese, Indian,burma,and western architechtural element in China.most of Chinese are antitheist,but in the most inner heart,We Chinese respect buddha.Thanks, the buildings look strangly influenced for being in china. I enjoyed seeing the subtle strange blend.
Lachine, did you notice that your first close of of the buddha has the traditional "swastika" (heart of buhhda) as used in buddhism opening to the left (counter-clockwise) but the second seated figure you pictured seated next to another in the temple has the "swastika" opening to the right like the one affiliated with the nazi's, can you explain this difference, i am not accustomed to seeing it open this way in asia?
