Confident, Creative Learners with Big Ambitions. Kind to each other. Kind to the Planet.
On Tuesday the 3rd of May we (primary 1-7 of Holywood Primary) were out on an school trip to Samey Ling in Eskilbride. We were greeted by our tour guide and his name was Peter and he was very nice. We went to the temple and entered the meditation hall. We talked about all of the gold inside. It turned out that the gold was actually gold leaf witch is a thin layer of gold. There were 27 layers of gold leaf on the main Buddha witch stands tall in the middle of back wall.
On Tuesday the 3rd May 2016 P1-7 went on a fantastic trip to Samye Ling Buddhist temple. The bus ride was 1 hour and it was horrendous because there was so many turns. When we got here we met our tour guide who’s name was Peter and he was a nice guy and we all had loads of fun. We visited loads of things including:
The meditation temple- In there we sat on cushions and practised meditation.
The shrine – We sat down and Peter gave us some information about some relics that are in the roof.
Here’s a photo of the temple before we went in.

On the 3rd of May team Holywood travelled to Kagyu Samye Tibetan centre for our regions topic. We had a tour of the whole place. The temple was massive. I learned that the statue of Buddha is hollow and has relics from different teachers because Buddhists don’t have a god but they have teachers. It took one hour to get to Kagyu Samye in Eskdalemuir and there was a little shop that was super expensive. We got told that the Buddha statue wasn’t pure gold but a kind of coting of gold, but its actually made from cooper. It was very interesting and I loved every bit of it to the temple to the stupa.
