A family prepares together to climb the stairs of the temple grounds. The parents help their children to prepare with a ceremonial hand washing. These children were probably dedicated in a temple soon after they were born. When they die, they will most likely have a Buddhist burial. These simple rituals bind people together in various social and spiritual ways, though belief may be lacking. Copyright Andrew Gray 2004 | ||
