This wonderful temple sent incredible waves of energy through me. I was in Kyoto, Japan, visiting as a tourist. We were visiting the historical Sanjusangendo Temple, which is still run by Buddhist monks. The temple was built in the 12th century and is famous for it’s 1,000 carved statues of armed Q’uan Yin, who is the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. As we walked through the threshold of the door to the temple, I felt an overwhelming rush of energy. It felt as if I ran into a wall of buzzing air, but I could feel it in my body, not just on my skin. As I walked through the door, it was like was walking through a waterfall of buzzing energy, flowing down, around and through me. I was shocked, I didn’t expect it! I thought, “Whoa! What WAS that?” As we continued to walk around the 1,000 carved statues, the energy was so strong I thought I might faint, but I didn’t. When we emerged from the temple, the feeling dissipated.
