Inner Peace

Another left turn down a dusty dirt road, had us arriving at a Chinese Buddist Temple, quite large in size but surrounded by acres of beautiful manicured gardens, paths, statues and a large pond with wooden bridges. A sign nailed to a tree advised visitors, that the temple practices the discipline of silence. With that noted and two screaming hungry kids, we decided to prop under a tree and have some lunch. Sitting in the warm sun, the tranquility was ever present and now I know why they coin the phrase "silence is golden".
