Buddhist Monastery

I suppose  it was an interesting experience staying  at  a buddhist monastery.   I   got  to learn     more     about buddhism    from    its history  to  its beliefs. The design and size of the       monastery    is incredible.    I was fascinated by the many statues of buddha from small  to  a  gigantic  one.     I  was  mesmerized  by the soothing sound of buddhist chants.  I was even a bit frightened by the strict rules of eating  breakfast inside  the  monastery's  huge  dining  hall.   On   the other hand,  doing meditation for  the first time was one of the  experiences I remember  vividly.   It  felt comfortable wearing the meditation attire. Although sitting  for  a long time  with crossed legs felt a little uncomfortable,  the meditation  overall was relaxing in the sense that  we got to free  our  mind from the world     of   reality   and    meditate    through    our imagination.
