On Tuesday the whole of p1\/7 went to samye ling in eskdalemuir. We left at 9\u00a0:00 and came back at 3:20.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Buddhist retreat\u00a0is good to stay for a day, a\u00a0week, a month or even years. Our tour guide Peter gave us lots of amazing facts about the statues and the temple as well as the Stupa .<\/p>\n
The most interesting part was the meditation hall, \u00a0it was made out of mostly painted gold and some pieces are gold leaf. It has a Buddha with lots of teachings and we sat on pillows, the teachers sat on chairs .<\/p>\n
All of it was amazing especially the stupa with lots of polished stones. There was a hall of\u00a0prayer wheels which on the other walls contained ashes of the dead which was a little spooky walking through it but it was fun spinning the prayer wheels .<\/p>\n
We had lunch at something past 12 or 1 I didn’t know but after lunch we saw the statues of a lady Buddha called Tara. Another sat on a cobra which represented fear and after that we went to a in-progress herbal medicine farm \u00a0and also we could see the accommodation for the monks and nuns but could not go in. We saw them through windows it was really interesting.<\/p>\n
