Buddhists in Manalapan

While prayer-walking Manalapan I visited the Buddhist temple on Gordons Corner Road. Most people don't know it is there, as it is screened by high shrubs. I walked all around it- it is like going to another country. The 30 foot high monument is surrounded by idols depicting different prayer postures for various days of the week. There are a number of gongs around it, which I think are supposed to invoke the presence of different gods when they are rung.

They are planning to expand this temple. Pray for the Buddhists of Manalapan.
