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.<\/p>\n
The meditation hall was full of gold. It had so many tiny gold Buddhas in glass cabinets.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Inside the stupa there were three Buddha<\/p>\n
statues. The stupa is a<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The shop was really dear but every thing was<\/p>\n
handmade. E.g. a prayer mat was \u00a3250 it was a lot of money.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
There are loads of Buddha statues at Samye Ling but they all mean something different. My most<\/p>\n
favourite one was the<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
