Mendut Buddhist Monastery


Beautifully manicured lawns with lush foliage of trees and flowers, the bell-shaped marble stupas lining along a square pond and the clean terrazzo paths evoked a sense of serenity even to the most indifferent mortals. I had read that you were to have a monk accompany you through the monastery, but no one stopped us as we wandered around in respectful silence and awe.
