Chua
Khmer Phuong resides in a spacious forested island in the midst of the
city's commericial center.
A
Google search failed to come up with the founding date of this temple.
The
roots of the fig tree remind us of Beng Mealea in Cambodia's Angkor Wat.
Many
people ask me to take a photo of them while knowing that they won't get
a copy.
This
isn't the main prayer hall. I can't explain the beds, unless they are
rather platforms for meditation.
It's
still strange to me to see smiling faces on Buddha figures in Southeast
Asia, unlike the sombre faces that I'm used to seeing in Korea.
