These are some pictures I took at a Buddhist academy near my house. The buildings, actually the compound is huge, it seems to have no end. It is not old but it is pretty neat to look at. The most amazing thing about this place was that there was virtually no one there. No monks, no students, nothing, just an empty complex devoted to Buddha.
1. A view of one of the main temple buildings through the trees. Even though it looks old the bottom half of the building, which you cannot see in this picture, is a modern, cement, disgrace.
2. A wall panel on one side of a temple in the complex.
3. I really like this picture. I took it from under a walk way looking at the monks dormitory.
4. The bell that beats with the call to prayer.
5. A small flowering maple, red in the fall sun.
