Still standing here

Shanghai. Aug 2013

Jing-an Temple is an active Buddhist Temple first built in 247 AD and rebuilt many times over the course of time. Today it sits in West Nanjing Lu, a very busy part of Shanghai. It is actually an amazing contrast to see an old religious building surrounded by high-end shopping centres and office buildings. Just like the Jing’an Temple, my auntie too has gone through a lot in life but still stands here today. Seen here outside the temple’s main doors. May The Almighty Buddha Bless her with long life and happiness.
