10,000 Buddahs

May - Gareth

A concrete walkway heading to the distance and turning a corner. On raised plinths, on each side, are life-sized models of Buddahs in a variety of poses and positions. In the background is a mountain covered in trees and foliage.
The walk on the way up to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin, Hong Kong. This is just the beginning. The walkway, which continues round that corner, comprises 431 steps, all lined with life-sized Buddhas and culminating in a temple containing 13,000 smaller statues.
