Buddhist Temple

Today for school, we visited a small Buddhist Temple that appears to be part of someone's home. I wasn't completely sure they lived there, but it is in a residential neighborhood, in a building that looks approximately the same size and general construction as the surrounding houses, and doesn't particularly stand out in any other way other than inside there in one largish section (large for a Japanese home) there is a temple area with Tibetan Buddhist decor and structure.

A garden area out the side door adds greatly to the setting. The place was peaceful and very comfortable. We sat on cushions on the floor as we listened and learned of some of the teachings and history of various sects and styles of Buddhism.

Receiving permission to take some photos, I spent most of our break doing so. Apparently, we were scheduled for a one and half hour session but because of the level of interest of our group, the teacher continued sharing with us for three hours.
