Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery — Attraction in Hong Kong

Miu Fat (Miaohoji) Temple consists of two distinct and contrasting buildings. Standing in front of the temple gate, you will see the three-story Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas: two giant golden dragons hovering on the gorgeous red exterior wall, as well as a pair of stone elephants and a pair of lions guarding the entrance. When you step into the Mahavira Hall inside, you will see three huge golden Buddha statues of Sakyamuni and countless Buddha statues decorated on the walls. The 21st-century Myohoji complex sits nearby, constructed of glass and concrete in stark contrast to the traditional Buddhist shrine next door. At the top of the building is a magnificent glass hall, shaped like a crystal lotus, which offers a panoramic view of Tuen Mun. Miu Fat Temple is a Buddhist monastery located in Lam Tei, Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong. Based on the principle of practising mercy, it has been actively organizing activities to promote Buddhism as well as education, culture, charity and welfare for years. The Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery was first constructed in 1950. Over the following two decades came the construction of the 3-storey Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. It took six years to complete, with its consecration ceremony held in May 1980. A ceremony marking the completion of the 45-metre high and 7-storey main complex was held in mid-March 2010. The Mahavira Hall, located on the top storey of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, has a floor height of about 20 metres. In the middle of the Hall, there are three gold-plated statues of the Buddha Sakyamuni, each of them is about 5-metre tall. Its interior walls are adorned with over 10 thousands of Buddha reliefs and a number of murals featuring a blend of Sino-Thai cultures. The monastery can be accessed via the LRT through Lam Tei stop. Three bus routes also serve the monastery that being Routes 53,...

Conversations became shorter. He seemed less enthused. Maybe he became distracted, or just bored. Now you’re faced with the question of, when should I give up? You do have that option. The option to start a new conversation, or share a funny joke or story, and get him involved again… Or you can just bow out and leave the chatroom forever. And usually, it is forever, because most guys that are bored or tired of a text conversation, won’t come crawling back. So the question is, what are some situations that would merit a full stop?
