Summary

Description
English: photo from Through China with a camera: "At the monastery of Wo-foh-sze, or "the Sleeping Buddha," we found a resting-place for the night. The old Lama here was complaining of bad times. There was not enough land, he said, to support the establishment, and that though every monk enjoyed a yearly grant of twelve taels (equal to about £3 10s, of our money) from the Peking Board of Rites. But of late years there have been but few of the members of the Imperial family to bury — a ceremony for which this establishment receives a fee of some 300 taels. A remarkably beautiful place was Wo-foh-sze; and the quarters of the monks there, though furnished with the usual simplicity, were wonderfully clean and well kept."
