Ten Thousand Buddhas


Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never  decreases by being shared.   Buddha

Another Hong Kong Adventure...   
We were off to sightsee and a not to be missed on the list was the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas. What we did not know was that one could only get to the temples at the top of the hill by climbing the many shallow aged steps. We haphazardly counted them and there were over 400 on the way down which was easier than going uphill. That meant we climbed up and down lots of varied and uneven steps in blistering Hong Kong heat and humidity... YES it was worth it and we stopped for a nice vegetarian lunch at the top. We even tried to count the golden Buddhas but that was impossible as they were every where we looked.

 My favourite young Buddha with a rose bud and then a "posing" beautiful Buddha.
Taylor then tried his hands at posing too!
Almost to the top...














Thank goodness we made it to the top and had fun posing with the multi-armed Goddess. Hugs and Blessings from Thailand
