The Po Lin Monastery is very pretty, with a
grand Buddha hall and a restaurant in a tranquil garden surrounded by
water and blossoming sakura trees.
The giant Buddha watches serenely as thousands of tourists huff and puff up
the 268 steps (that’s around a 20 story building). It is indeed
impressive and huge.
The Wisdom Path is
about a mile away down a well-travelled sidewalk thick with people. The
Path itself has tall wooden monuments set in a figure eight that
represent the Heart Sutra, which gives the secret to the essence of
wisdom. By extension, walking the Path makes you wise. Obviously I
circled it till I was dizzy.
