Thursday, 1 January 2004, Temple 5—Climbing Higher
We climbed a short distance to the next level, where there were several more things to admire before we started the serious climb to the top of the mountain.
We were admiring a little pond just out of sight below.
This was the largest character we saw.
Just in front of the big character was a tiny shrine.
Weiyin absorbs the sights and smells of the shrine.
More worshipers and incense.
How do you keep a huge boulder from falling on the temple? You prop it up with many little sticks, of course. Strength in numbers, as they say. Let a thousand sticks prop!
This map shows the two ways to the top. We ascended via the right-hand route and descended the left way, which is shorter but steeper.
A thousand little Buddhas.
