Gary & Jake lived 2 blocks away from Jin Ang Temple when they were in Shanghai last summer. Did they ever go? NO!
When I suggested we go together when I was there---no interest.
So I went myself on the last morning of my trip Saturday. A three big block walk from my hotel.
Well, this may be sacrilegious but here goes............
I loved the austerity of the temple. It reminded me of my grandmother as i saw an old man walk his mother through the temple. They bowed, lit incense, stared at me, etc.
Well, in the main temple by the big Buddha (pix left above), a lady prayed. She knelt down on the beautiful red stools and opened her palms to the Buddha. Just as she knelt, I saw her leopard underpants. Sorry, couldn't help it. Moral of the story, where underwear that will not show when you kneal down and pray.
