On  Friday p1/3 went to the church. When we got to the church. A man shod us a statue that had some names  to remind us that people died in the wore.

On Tuesday the 3rd may 2016 p1/7 went to samye ling. It was very cool it had los of statues. The lady Buddha is called Tara.

On Tuesday the 3rd of May we went to The Buddhist temple in Eskdalemuir because we have been learning about that religion. Our tour guide was a man called Peter who is a Buddhist himself. He taught us how to meditate in the meditation room and after lunch we watched and listened to some chanting. The temple is huge and really colourful these are what the colours symbolise:

Blue-Sky

Red-Fire

Yellow-Earth

Green-Water

There was also black and gold and there was another symbol that meant space but we don’t know what that colour is.

At a Buddhist Temple we were looking at a golden Buddha statue. We were learning about the temple. I enjoyed it. I would recommend this to everyone.

Holywood Primary School paid a visit to a Buddhist temple at Eskdalemuir as part of their world religion topic. With help from our tour guide Peter, he gave us a lot of information.

The meditation hall was full of gold. It had so many tiny gold Buddhas in glass cabinets.

After lunch we went back in to the temple to see some Buddhists chanting. It was very noisy and we could not understand what they were chanting.

Inside the stupa there were three Buddha

statues. The stupa is a

remembrance place for Buddhists. The prayer wheels outside the Stupa were used to send wishes to other countries and loads of people scatter peoples ashes there.

The shop was really dear but every thing was

handmade. E.g. a prayer mat was £250 it was a lot of money.

The journey was not good on the way there because 2 people were sick. On the way back it was fun but travelling by bus was slow and boring at times.

There are loads of Buddha statues at Samye Ling but they all mean something different. My most

favourite one was the

Buddha with the cobra on its head it stands for scary . It looks really cool there were also prayer wheels that you could spin aswell my favourite bits were the meditation hall and the Stupa .
