| Located at the Duc Quang Buddhist Centre you will find a a cluster of white marble statues. Before the temple, the site was home to Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church. Starting in 2005 the Monks began using the church to practice Buddhism. When the 100 year old building was razed in 2012, they decided to build a temple there for their small community. “The place was very holy, that’s why we wanted to make a Buddhist Temple here,” says monk Thich Chan Phap. |

...a sight that I would expect to see in Maui.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful temple with nice marble statues
ReplyDeleteA lot of guardians here.
ReplyDeleteThat's all very interesting and your photograph is, as usual, terrific. At first I thought it might be a giant chess set, which tells you how much I know about chess and Buddhism. :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive with all the statues.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cool that the monk recognized that the place was holy, regardless of the religion. We should all be that way.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI had to googled this one. Your pic is far superior to any on the web. You picked a great angle.
ReplyDeleteDid not expect to see this temple sitting in a residential neighborhood. Very cool.
What an interesting post! I love the symmetry of your photo with all those statues so evenly spaced. It makes such an attractive scene.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully photographed.
ReplyDeleteEverything is so impressive. The temple, the statures.
ReplyDeleteAnd you composed your photo so wonderfully.
Excellent and interesting photograph!
Doesn't exactly scream "Toronto" does it. I don't think I'd have been able to pass by without a photo or two either.
ReplyDeleteCielo y luz.. Bonita imagen.. Un saludo :)
ReplyDeleteStatues induce the idea of old art.
ReplyDeleteThe place chosen for shooting is optimal.
The marble statues are impressive and look nice placed in front of the temple.
ReplyDeleteThe light and clarity of this photo is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I've always thought that Buddhist temples would look more old if that makes sense, the building looks quite modern.
ReplyDeleteSomething different and I notice no fence.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful composition, Andy.
