[quote=RITA ,30103]One of the most impressive temples I have ever been was this Triple Religion Temple.One of the most impressive village i have ever been was a Triple Religion Village - near Xiahe. That was a very quiet village with a small population, some are Tibetan Buddhists, some are Muslims and some are Han and Mongolians. There are Buddhist Temples, small though, and also small Muslim Mosques and Han style temple too. I was amazed at how people of different religions live peacefully together with their own beliefs. Seeing their kids playing together with different looks,clothes and even languages.Now the Temple:The Triple-religion Temple(三教合一寺) in the Five Spring Mountain in Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu Province. There are three gods in the same Temple peacefully side by side, they are Sakyamuni, Laotze and Confucius. There are plenty of devoted prayers there every day. Never asked which god they were worshipping, for fear of people taking me as a narrow minded person, haha ! :PIsn't that a kind of amazing and ideal situation that all gods working shoulder to shoulder with each other for the bliss of all the people in the world(sounds like dream talking, huh:P)? Having said that, I am quite aware that there are some religions that are very exclusive - maybe extremely exclusive. But i am sort of happy to see this particular Temple in China, and see from it that it reflects some natures in most Chinese - moderate, tolerance and comprehensive, and most importantly - understanding. I love that Triple-Religion Temple. If you go to visit Lanzhou, don't miss it, it is so small that the locals may not even remember to recommend it to you. So, religion or no religion, it's good to see moderation, tolerance, comprehensiveness and understanding, fortunately, all in people's nature, not brought into this world by god of any religion, I personally believe.[/quote]
