We drove to the Port Kembla area for a most interesting tour of the Nan Tien Buddhist Temple. The grounds were quite beautiful complete with Lotus Flower pond. We were very fortunate to link up with Anne who described herself as a Christian Buddhist and she proceeded to walk us through Buddhism - it was very interesting and the whole experience was very calming. The monks were all slight of build (some suggested that this was due to their vegetarian diet) and very knowledgeable.
We had an enjoyable vegetarian lunch and were sufficiently inspired to buy some books to further research Buddhism - it seems to be a most attractive way of life.
