Driving through a rather grotty desert area in California I saw two brightly painted pagoda like structures back from the road. Then I saw the Bodhisattva of compassion presiding serenely over a long double line of other Buddhas. The Keep Out signs made it clear that this was a private place. I stopped and got as near as I could to take the photograph. It is a Vietnamese retreat center, and they did list a phone number. I wish there had been someone around to talk.
