Jade Buddha Temple

Shanghai, China--Some friends and I visited Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple one sunny afternoon. The temple was neither crowded nor sparse. Visitors paid their respects to the images of Buddha. Some lit incense in the courtyard and bowed in meditation to all four directions.

Some consider Buddhism to be a religion. Others say it is a philosophy. For those who practice it, it's a way of life. On one end of the temple, members held a service and practiced singing. In another corner, Buddhist monks took part in a ceremony. To read more, go to www.insidethemoderndragon.com
