I stopped here to meditate and clear my head. A very nice monk visiting from Laos talked to me for a couple hours. Just what I needed. Great temple!

I came here to meet a monk from Sri Lanka named Sumedha and had a wonderful experience. He shared the story of Buddha with my wife, my friend, and I, then instructed us in vipassana meditation which we then practiced for a half hour. I hope to return soon.
