Reflections from Jen Fugate
Today Fuji and I went to the Jing An Temple here in Shanghi. The temple is currently being renovated and it rained all day, so needless to say it was not very crowded. In this picture I am looking at the depiction of the life of Budd ha. Fuji and I spent several minutes here as he explained the significance of each individual picture. Compared to the Jade Buddha Temple, the Jing An Temple lacked monks. This doesn't mean that they weren't there, but they were probably just looking down from a window somewhere thinking "Look at those stupid Westerners out in the rain".
