Offerings at Po Fook Memorial Hall \u00a9Asian Ramblings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted to see the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. Inadequate signage left me exploring the Po Fook Memorial Hall thinking it was the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. Cool place, I’m certain this happens all the time.<\/p>\n

This terraced cemetery is actually a number of memorial halls. It’s quiet in Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong. The New Territories are a whole different world from Nathan Road or LKF. With a pagoda, incense, and much Buddhist iconography I think I wouldn’t mind having my ashes rest here: It’s serene.<\/p>\n

I did eventually find the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. Photos to follow.<\/p>\n
