The best place I’ve ever been in China
March 14
Anyone who has visited different Buddhist places of worship will agree with me that all temples, khuruli, datsans, stupas, etc. are similar. However, each place has its own architectural, landscape and simply a wide variety of other features. It's here too, I'll try to formulate it. First of all, the gate, which reminded Parisian Notre Dame with its gargoyles, only here on the contrary - dragons. Seriously, the gates are solid, patterned, and beautiful.. There are many lawns and flowerpots on the territory (rhyme), statues, vases, various architectural and landscape decorations, trees, flowers.. In general, the beauty and riot of greenery. I liked the rather large (7-meter) white statue of the Buddhist monk Bodhisattva Thit Quang Duc, who gave his life for the faith. In protest against the unlimited conversion of Buddhists to Catholicism, a monk burned himself to death in South Vietnamese Saigon in 1963. The monument to the monk was erected here in 2004, by the way, it is granite. I photographed the monument, because that's what I like to photograph.. If you go further and start climbing the stairs, you will reach a reclining concrete white Buddha with swastikas on his heels (Buddhist swastikas are a symbol of the sun). The Buddha is lying on his side, stretched out to his full 17-meter height. The temple complex is decorated with a bright and beautiful pagoda built in 1886 (with numerous subsequent changes, of course) with outbuildings, colorful halls, altars and sculptures. I was most impressed by the multi-armed goddess Avalokiteshvara (here, as I understood it, it is the female manifestation characteristic of the Vietnamese pantheon), the Lord graciously looking at beings, the Mahayana Buddha, the Buddha of compassion, born from the light of the eyes of the Buddha of infinite light Amitabha. I stood at the altar for a long time, looking at it.. I really liked this temple complex, it's a good one.. I bought a small stone Buddha in a souvenir shop there.

The monastery is a 30-40-minute walk from Nha Trang city center. My wife and I, for example, were able to get here from the DTX hotel. Our way lay through the Catholic church.
A staircase leads to the Buddha statue. But this is not just a staircase, but something special: a Buddha lies in the middle of it, and a big Buddha sits at the top. This place is perfect for taking beautiful photos and buying souvenirs. For example, we have acquired excellent aromatic pyramids. Admission to the monastery is free.
