Most temples had one or three very large golden Buddhas. Below are some shots of a temple with hundreds of Buddhas...each one slightly different. Notice the little blue man in the second inner temple shot.

Longhua Temple
Shanghai's oldest Buddhist monastery, not too far from campus. We came at a good time--the monks were busy burning incense as offerings for the dead. One of the monks spoke broken English, so we were able to learn a little more about this fascinating religion and the monk way of life.
