There is quite a large Vietnamese community in Brisbane and just across the road from the 3rd and 12th tee at golf is the Chưa Pháp Quảng Vietnamese Buddhist temple.
At certain times of the year, it is quite interesting trying to tee off with the noise from the goings on inside the temple.
If you put Chưa Pháp Quảng into Google translator, it comes back as "no advertising law"
I think something has been lost in the translation there. It obviously means something since it seems to be the name of many Vietnamese Buddhist temples throughout the world. Can anyone help out?
A very grand building. I checked out their website and if you hold the cursor under Chua it says temple, pagoda, sanctuary, then under Phap it says justice and then Quang says optical toss, throw, so other than that I have no idea. I have a friend who's daughter in law is Vietnamese and she is coming here this afternoon so I will ask if she knows what it means.
Lots of interesting lines in this shot. Subtle earth tones of the building contrasts nicely with the bright blue sky and stark white statuary. Nice photo!
