Longshan Temple, Taipei City

We went during evening services, and it was like something out of a movie, crowds of people chanting and bowing in a smokey temple. Since we didn't understand what was going on, we just watched, but no one made us feel self-conscious or proselytized to us, it was very comfortable. As I understand it, it's kind of a non-denominational temple, so it's less about preaching a particular doctrine than about giving people a place to gather and express their faith. I think that's really cool, and some religions could use some lessons in that sort of mellow tolerance.
