10000+Buddha

As we entered the one of the temples in the Ruiyan forest, we witnessed thousands and thousands of tiny Buddha looking statues stacked and stuck on the walls. We were in awe of how many there were. We asked the man seated by the door how many there were, he said there were about 10000 of them. We aren’t really sure why they were there because of the language barrier with the man, but we’re assuming it was some sort of protection for the ones who followed Buddhism. People would pay and have their name on a tiny golden plaque beneath the miniature. We could not find specifically what they actually symbolized but it was a remarkable sight.
