Donglin Temple (Chinese: 东林寺; pinyin: Dōnglínsì; literally "East Wood Temple") is a Buddhist monastery approximately 20km away from Jiujiang, Jiangxi, People's Republic of China. It was built in 386 at the foot of Lushan by Hui-yuan, founder of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. It is a very famous building for how long it has stood up and not collapse. The monastery reached its peak of influence during the Tang Dynasty, but was severely damaged during the Taiping Rebellion and all but destroyed during the Republican period. It currently houses a small community of monks supported by a small farming village in its immediate vicinity.

Stamps:  Lunar - Year of the Tiger.  I love the Tiger with an "attitude" paws on his hips. :)  I also love the very colorful child looking stamps too!  I will look into what they mean. Thanks Gao! :)

China - The Nine, Dragon Wall

Haomin from Beijing, China sent me this interesting card and did a great job explaining in writing the meaning of the wall. The wall is sculpted in 7 colors of glazed tile.  Screen walls were common in traditional architecture for giving privacy to an entrance as well as serving a symbol of rank. The number 9 and the dragon are both symbolic in Chinese culture.  

I love the scenic stamps too. :) Thanks again!
