Nan Tien Temple

Easter weekend we headed to Nan Tien Temple to meet up with Uncle J and his friend Lou.

It is a great place to be and quite a peaceful place. Although on this occasion it was full of bright colour and celebration as it was Budda's birthday.

A beautiful recreation of the birth of Budda

While we were walking around the gardens we could hear a bell ringing and found that it was at the top of the hill. Of the many times that I have visited the temple I have never seen it before. It was great to head up there and the view was fantastic.

The great thing about the bell was that anyone could have a go.

The main reason to ring the bell was to give thanks to your family,
not sure what the kids were really giving thanks for !!

Hey C try not to be eaten !!!

E is not cold,
she is pretending that the lion is going to eat her !!

It was a great afternoon and great to catch up with Uncle J although we did run out of time. So hopefully we will be able to get back there in the near future and have another great look around.
