Buddha

We spent the whole week in Sri Lanka. 85% of the people are Buddhist. In India you see Hindu temples everywhere. In Sri Lanka you see Buddha statues everywhere.


Every side of this little temple had a window with 4 little Buddha dolls like this.

Another beautiful temple that was very near to our hotel.
The Nielson's serve in Visak. We were out shopping and walked by a Buddhist temple. This nice man asked us if we would like to go in. We had a nice visit with him and he told us to take our shoes off and we could go into the temple.




This is the statue we saw inside the temple





This statue was outside the temple.



Sister Linton on the left. Our tour guide for our city tour. Elder Fairbanks and his wife are over Humanitarian work in the mission. Sister Asplund on the right. This was Independence Hall.







Beautiful tropical country and statues everywhere.







Another Buddha finished in gold. Tropical island spells vacation.







This was one of my favorite Buddha's.
