Buddha, Buddha, Buddha

Today after school, Erik and I took a short trip on the MTR to Sha Tin to see the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. Technically, it isn’t an actual monastery because there are no monks living there, but it was still pretty cool. To get there, we had to climb lots of stairs. Actually, when the monastery was being built, all of the building materials had to be carried to the top by foot which took eight years to complete the buildings and another ten to complete all of the Buddhas. Even though it is called 10,000 Buddhas Monastery, there are actually over 12,000 Buddhas.

Lots of Buddhas...

Some more Buddhas in the trees.

 I think this guy was my favorite out of all 12,000.
