罔极寺庆观音圣诞

Wangji Temple / The Taiping princess gave this royal monastary to pray for the good fortune of her mother, Wu Zetian / Through the Great Leap Forward, Destroy the four Olds, city expansion, and the renovation of the shanty town areas, the temple has been reduced to what you see today / Every year on the first day of the Chinese New Year, crowds of people will come to burn incense to pray for the next year to bring good fortune, good business, academic success, and a healthy newborn baby / I live near the back of this temple / Sometimes I will just come inside and see the good men and women, listen to the bible readings, or just stay a while, then continue on with my life //
