The picture inside of the temple. It was written that whatever you see in this picture reflects you. For example, some people see it as a smiling face, some other say it is an angry face. I thought it was a sneaky face :p
この絵でみた表情を人の心の表情だって。例えばニコニコしてる顔見てる人もいるらしいしいらってる顔を見てる人もいるらしいって。私はずるらしこい顔をみた。

Budist yemegi olarak bilinen sadece sebzelerden olusan ogle yemegim. Budistler (hepsi olmasa da cogu vejeteryan ya da veganmis) hic bir canliyi aci cekerek oldurmek istemedikleri icin, sadece sebze ya da baklagiller yiyerek yasiyorlarmis. boylelikle etten alamadiklari vitamini sebzelerle dengelemeye calisiyorlarmis ve gercekten de dengeleyebiliyorlarmis. Et yemesek de yasayabiliriz yani.

This is called Buddhist cuisine. As you might know, most Buddhist people do not eat meat as they don't want to kill animals by torturing them, they try to eat vegan meal. They try to get the same vitamins and energy from the vegetables or leguminous plants instead of eating meat, which means we can all live long without eating meat.

精進料理だ!人生で初めての経験でございますw。びっくりするぐらい美味しかった!
仏教の人って肉食べないのすごいことですね。動物を大切にすること大事だよね!感謝します。
