On the big Buddha hill, around the sides of the long gentle staircase that leads up to the big Buddha are long rows of bells (one either side) … I didn’t try ringing any of them, not sure if it’s within etiquette, so can’t tell you want they sound like.
There is also a tiger than doesn’t need repainting on the last photo:) And if you look carefully you can see the dragon’s tail in the background.

♫ Ring my bell~s ♫
Now you’ve got that song going round in my head … disco track as I remember …
My relaxing moments are while knitting or crocheting, when I really don’t have to think about anything in particular. I can let my mind wander, do my deep breathing exercises, and just chill out and think positive things, like the fact that I’m really a ballerina angel, and can do anything, including fly out the window and watch the world from overhead. Unfortunately, I always wake up. 🙂
Same for all of us Angie, I love my walks when I can get use my imagination for positivity, then I’ll get a nasty letter from the tax man, and “harsh realities” … this is life for most people, enjoy the “you time” and try and use it to steer your life in a positive direction:)
Very cool. I wonder if they are used for meditation?
Could be, but probably not for one of my meditations, I either have quiet or music that I like 🙂
I actually have a track on my iPad for meditation that is a bell ringing every few seconds. I quite enjoy that one as the bell serves as a reminder to bring my thoughts back on track.
Generally I have music or quiet however I’m doing Oprah and Deepak’s 21 day challenge right now.
I did a 10 day vipassana retreat in UK, so my meditation is often based on that … I love walking with my favourite dance tracks … for me meditation I do how I want, threw away the rule book a long time ago ! Mainly I reckon it’s about relaxing and attempting to promote positive and charismatic feelings …
Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing.
