Yet there were still dozens of worshipers lighting huge bundles of incense outside of the temple and saying their prayers.  I was impressed by the devotion of the adherents.  That day I also felt very homesick for my family back in the states.  At the foot of the Buddha I said prayers for their continued safety and felt great comfort. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published on 10\/23\/2007: IMG_4499, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.
