Qixia Shi - China's oldest Buddist Monastary




for the Mid-autumn Festival monday holiday i went with 3 students to china's oldest monastry about an hour outside of Nanjing. this sign introduced the lake on the monastary grounds. if you click on the photo of the sign you will discover that it was formed and has been around "since the world exisiting." amongst other things such as nenuphers it is "just too many beautiful things." indeed it was a beautiful place.

Julie I now have a good reason to meet your maid -- I could help the the Chinese sign makers with their sentence structure.
