Lama Temple

Lama Temple is one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the world. Like for the temple of Heaven, there is something about those places. Once you get there you feel at peace. You can forget about the hustle of the city life and pray / meditate. Not only is the temple absolutely beautiful but on top somehow you don't feel like leaving it. You just feel like staying there and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Here are some pictures I took.

PS: the temple also has the largest Buddha statue, as acknowledged by a Guiness record: 26m high in only 1 piece of Sandalwood!
