Temple View


When I got to work this afternoon, I passed by the temple I had already seen and the inside was now open (I think there was a funeral going on today). So I asked if I could go in! I took off my shoes and found this great altar (above).
This little guy was one of the statues on either side of the altar. These table and chairs lined each side of the temple--there were plates and bowls, so I guess people can take some sort of meal in here.
This man was a minister of some sort...he was blessing a woman's car when I arrived!!! She opened all the doors, windows, trunk, hood, etc. And then he did some ritual with that big fluffy stick. I guess it's cheaper than garage work:)
I think these hanging tiles are another form of saying prayers:)
