Po Lin Monastery – Hong Kong

The Po Lin Monestary (sic) is famous for the Big Buddha. The Big Buddha is, technically, the Tin Tan Buddha. This Buddha is about 110 feet tall, weighs about half-a-million pounds, is seated and made out of bronze. It is worthy of seeing. The picture here is of the sign at the bus stop for the bus I took to go and see the Big Buddha. The bus trip was half the fun. Actually, it was more than half the fun. A Big Buddha doesn’t make me tingle. The bus trip did. The roads were so narrow that the bus had to stop several times to negotiate space with other buses on the highway.
