Trip to Buddhist Temple

     On Thursday, January 27, 2011 sixteen members of the Sage-ing II group piled into four cars and went to see the beautiful Buddhist Temple in Kissimmee, Florida.
 
     The temple is decorated with symbols of the Buddhist religion depicting various events in Buddha's life. We also toured the grounds where there are a number of small replicas of religious shrines from around the world.

     The temple was built from funds sent over from Thailand and the monks are from Thailand. We had the oportunity to speak with one of them who struggled with English, but spoke good enough to give us some information and answer a few questions.

     The temple and grounds are beautiful and interesting, well worth the short trip to Kissimmee. If you would like to know more about the Buddhist program in that area go to http://www.watflorida.org/.
