Big Buddha

At Ngong Ping on Lantau island is the Big Buddha, 34 metres high, the worlds tallest sitting bronze Buddha. You can experience the 268 step climb without the heat and humidity at the Buddhism Depot. Is Buddhism the most peaceful of the major religions ?

I like this composition.

I think religion is a very personal thing. I don't know much about Buddhism. I always thought of it as more of a philosophy than a religion, but as I said I know precious little about it. I suppose all religion could be considered philosophy depending on how you look at it.
