When I recall my trip toGannan last winter, Iam most impressed andtouched by a one thousand-year-oldZuohai Monastery. In this temple, Iparticipated in an annual MandalaBuddhist ritual of Wasai Vajra Yidam,got close to a dignified, intelligentand benevolent Living Buddha andbecome acquainted with the LivingBuddha's real daily life.
