Lunch at the Crouching Tiger Temple

Got a call for Weiyan to invite us up to Crouching Tiger (Fu Hu) Temple to have lunch with the Buddhist Nun. We were excited to go back to the temple to visit. This is our favorite place to go to relax and take pictures.

Lunch was pretty well ready when we arrived. We visited a little with Yan Miao (our Buddhist Nun friend) and the lunch was then prepared.


A good selection of vegetarian food was offered for lunch.



We were happy once more to be with our good friends on Emei Mountain.




Mr. Bogdan and Weiyan along with their friend from Beijing say their farewells to the nuns and we all go our separate ways after another great lunch on the mountain.


Sunee wanted to hang around for a while and take some pictures plus maybe go visit the 500 arhats and get a lucky number.


The trees inside the temple compound were full of flowers. Here Sunee admires this tree and its huge white blossoms.



The view of the temple, as always, was magnificent. How can not enjoy visiting such a place.


More beautiful flowers. It must be spring.

The little pagoda inside the temple is always a good place to take pictures.

Flowers that look like giant buttons also make great pictures for spring.


This is the statue of the arhat I ended up with. I chose an arhat at random (#350) then added my age (62 but not quite) to 350 and got 412. Unfortunately the guy who handed out the number sheets was not available. Maybe next time.
