玄关 - Xuanguan - Vestibule

Vestibule (Xuanguan) in Chinese house is quiet important space. It is the walkway between main door and living room. Xuanguan is came from Buddhism. Xuanguan looks like a gate in Buddhism. If it is opening for you, that means you get a right way to learn Buddhism. So you visit to Chinese temple, you will found there are many doors form main entrance to main building. So please don't walk side door as last time that we went to Fo Guang Shan in Howick, haha.

I dont think it does matter that much that we came from the side door...its the main entrance to the temple itself that would be considered as bad/wrong.. :) anywho..we got in..that was the main thing! nice blog D.G, keep it up
