Oushuu33Kannon Temples 4-5 Part 13


After I had taken pictures of the inside of the shrine, Ian walked over and, after doing the usual ritual, a took a peek.Around back there was a small shrine of some kind. There were no signs so we had no idea what or who was enshrined. It was quite small, probably less than a yard high.
At one side of the grounds we found a long row of identical statues. They were all evenly spaced except for the one at the extreme left. I went over and stood in the space so that Ian could take my picture with all the bodhisattvas. It would be nice to have even a few of the qualities that a bodhisattva is said to have obtained.
Here is a close up of one of the statues. It does not matter which on it was since they were all truly identical. They looked like they had been cast from the same mold.
