I was driving back from a business meeting today and had time, in 100-degree weather, to stop in at Chua Linh Son. I did not have time to go into any of the buildings or speak with anyone, but a gentleman affiliated with the Temple indicated that it was OK for me to walk around outside, where I snapped the short photo tour below. If anyone with Chua Linh Son views this post and would like full-resolution copies of these photos, please email me and I can send them. Thank you!

| Looking due west toward the main building. |
 |
| Blooming flowers were everywhere! |
 |
| Stucture that houses the bell shown below. |
 |
| I bet it sounds amazing! :-) |
 |
| Another flowering plant in full summer swing. |
 |
| Good potential for walking meditation... except maybe not when it's 100 degrees outside... |
 |
| Houston's most well-known summer bloomer: crape myrtle. |
 |
| The famous fifty-foot reclining Buddha statue. |
 |
| Beautiful lily. |
 |
| The First Five. |
 |
| Sitting benches around the walkways. |
 |
| Different kinds of fruit were growing in addition to the beautiful flowers. |
 |
| Stand and deliver. :-) |
 |
| The place was alive with the constant chicka-chicka-chicka sound of cicadas. This is a not-so-good pic of one in a cypress tree. |
 |
| Hibiscus close-up. |
 |
| Many different statues and stopping points on the walk around the Temple grounds. |
 |
| Melons growing on the ground, too. This guy is almost ready to pick. |
 |
| Some of the small statuary in tucked-away places. |
 |
| Contemplative shadows. |
 |
| Some type of lily, I think. |
 |
| Another small statue in a sheltered pagoda. |
 |
| Rest well, for your work here is complete. |
