Next Stop: Buddhist School in the Mountains

After a pretty windy drive through the hillside, we were brought to this Buddhist retreat.

And, when I say, windy, I mean it: this sign says it all!!!

There are very few of these left now; so we were lucky to see  this one.  The place was chosen to build here because (for one reason) of it's proximity to the mountainside that it faced.

These are the living quarters for the students.

 

And this is the (locked) gates beyond which lies a temple in which scholars and students prayed.
