Nan Tien Temple

Today Sterling and I visited Nan Tien Temple-- the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere. It was such an interesting and beautiful place. So much thought was put into its design and there is so much attention to detail. It was such a peaceful place, however, I was kind of surprised how touristy it was. I felt really out of place and like I shouldn't have been taking pictures of things so sacred to some people even though there were tons of people taking pictures. Obviously everyone there was okay with it... They wouldn't have tours or even a website if they didn't want tourists there, right??

The Main Shrine was incredible!! However, we were not allowed to take pics.

It was a cheap, fun little adventure and the weather was gorgeous :)
