Day 44 - Trains, Castles, Dumplings and Temples
... but it was the extreme ancientness of them that struck me. And here in Japan I found the temples to be serene, calm, and uniform. I was advised by my Buddhist Guru that cleanliness and order are two of the fundamental principals that are observed in everyday life for a monk......so they are certainly getting it right in Japan.
