We arrived in time to listen to the beautiful chanting of the monks inside the temple’s interior. Families can cremate and keep their loved ones here for a rental fee that covers 10 ten years…and on display were photos of those that had recently passed – they are mounted for a period of 49 days – the amount of time buddhists feel the deceased’s spirit wanders the earth before ascending. The photo acts as a kind of directional map to bring them back to the temple to rest. For a donation you can have a buddha mounted on the wall and every inch of this building is covered. Quite beautiful.
