On the first morning of the year, we accompanied our elders to Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery to offer prayers. While they chanted the sutra for hours, ....
I walked around the temple grounds and found this man standing outside the back doors, praying alone ...... for more than an hour.
Beside a huge Goddess of Mercy statue, I found these adorable statues. I took individual photos of them as each one wears a different expression on its face.
I wish for a good harvest this year too. :)

ReplyDeleteThose statues are so cute :) hehehe Hi ECL, I missed this place much :) Been uber busy since being promoted to Account Manager and been working on getting new agents before the month ends. I nearly died when they told me I had to hire 700 qualified candidates. So as of right now am multi-tasking like crazy. :) But am getting back into my old habits :) so expect your weekly visitor to be back more often ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tradition and great contribution as well as a habit - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose temples look so majestic - what great pics ECL!
