Todaiji Temple




Todaiji temple is located in Nara. Inside Todaiji, we find a huge buddha statue of Vairocana Buddha (The Great Buddha). Also, outside of Nara, we find lots of deer waiting to be fed by the tourists.
I joined a class on a field trip to Todaiji. First, Sensei had us examine the front gate. The doors of the front gate were taken out. But the question was, why have doors when there were no walls around to keep the place closed? Second we went inside Todaiji temple and explore the wonders inside. Vairocana Buddha seemed as if it someone was to move it, the whole temple would cave in.
I ended the field trip with feeding the deer. Their behavior was amazing. They cross the streets when the time is right, and they even bowed when I held up the cookie to feed them.
