This is another view of the main statue and the supporting cast. Many of the temples had statues or something that people could purchase and have their name permanently posted in the temple. One popular item seemed to be fence posts, which I assume the named person paid for.
The next is me ringing the bell just after entering the temple grounds. We did this whenever we could, but some temples did not have a bell tower, the bell was missing, or the tower was blocked off so we could not get to the bell.
People chanting the Heart Sutra in front of the main hall.
After leaving the temple the Henro Trail passed though a bamboo grove where I stopped and posed for this picture.
This is the main gate at the next temple. Notice the difference in what the two people are wearing. They are both pilgrims but when is wearing 'the outfit' and the other is regular clothes and the only outward indication that he is a pilgrim is the walking stick he is carrying.
