I decided to go visit one of old traditional Buddhist temples in Shanghai...a major tourist site and a place for Chines people to come and pray.  Imagine lighting whole crates of incense on fire and you start to get a sense of the magnitude of the aroma in this holy place.  Mix that with the ever present sound of monks chanting and the pleasant metallic gong reverberating through your soul.  It was for me a place so beautiful and enchanting I found my footsteps slowing in hopes that they could dwell in this place but a moment longer.
