At Xishuanbanna, Yunnan, place of origin for tea on earth, arguably. Killing time this morning and went to pay respects to the 49 meter tall Buddha statute at the Dai tribal temple. The Dai tribe is one of 13-14 tribes here in Xishuanbanna, and being border to Thailand, these are basically Thai people with the Theravada tradition. Beautiful gold and red everywhere. The language is interesting- one of the many, many languages in the world I wish I could read. Large library of sutras here all written in this almost extinct script.
