Nan Tien Temple

This is Taras and I outside the Nan Tien temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere. The aroma of the lemon tea trees assaults your nostrils as soon as you get out of the car, it's such a pleasing aroma. Walking up the steps of the temple and the aroma changes to the smell of bacon butties..........what?.........bacon butties?................surely not? Buddhists are vegetarian, aren't they? Mystery solved when we reached the top of the steps to discover the "bacon" aroma was actually dozens of incense sticks being burnt in front of a pot-bellied little man with a silly smile (no offence to pot-bellied men with silly smiles intended).
The gardens of the temple are amazing and have certainly given me ideas for future projects.
