As Austin has grown the variety of religious expression has exploded. Still the giant gold Buddha one caught a glimpse of while driving along Cap. of Texas Hwy. North (360) always surprised and delighted. It is the International Buddhist Progress Society of Austin with its Fo Guang Shan Hsiang Yun Temple. The flags have intrigued me, too, and they are apparently Buddhist flags. I'll give you a better look at some of the flags tomorrow.

Well, Texas is a BIG state ... nevertheless, a smiling statue of Buddha comes as a very welcome surprise.
