Fo Guang shan Temple Visit

On the 22nd of may we went to a temple visit. When we got there we walked into the driveway and there were two people there they looked like statues for a minute but they weren't because they waved at me. Then we went in two lines, 1 and 2. After that they introduced each other to the children. Then we went inside and one of the people taught us about 3 G & 4 G. It means 3 good deeds and 4 good givings. After that we split into 2 groups one went to make a lotus flower and the other group went outside and had some biscuits and a cup of water. I went in the first group which was the food and drinks. First I had the biscuits I didn't like them because they tasted like play dough but that was just fine. Then we got a tattoo with water and we had to count to 50 which was easy. After that we switched and my group was going to make a paper lotus flower. When we got there we sat down and a girl was telling us a story and then she asked some people to put water over the buddha which was quit weird. Then she showed us how to make the flower witch was really fun. After that everyone went to the big room upstairs to see the police and they told us their values that the police use for their job. Then they told someone to come and be dressed as a cop and get a lollies. After that they shared the vest around and it felt hard. Then they showed us how to meditate for about 2 minutes. After that we went back to school. It was a fun day because because got to learn about new things.
