Lama Temple


We went to the Lama Temple yesterday. I think it was yesterday...the days are all blending together. I can say that it was better then any of the other temples I have been to here. The biggest buy far. I think is it really 8 or 10 temples when you add up all the rooms and buddhas. My favorite was the 18 meters tall buddha. You can't take any pictures inside so you will just have to take my word for it...crazy. I think parts of it date back to 1740's and it is still a functioning lamasery. There were Tibettian pray flags all over and Tibettian monks. Very cool. Skip all other temples if you ever come to Beijing.
